How to Get Your HGV Licence in Bristol
Becoming a fully qualified HGV driver involves completing a series of essential steps. At MT Training Bristol, we guide you through the process, ensuring you have all the skills and knowledge required to pass your tests with confidence.
Steps to Earning Your HGV Licence:
1️⃣ Apply for a Provisional HGV Licence – Complete your DVLA medical exam and submit the D2/D4 forms to receive your Category C or CE provisional licence.
2️⃣ Pass the HGV Theory Test – This includes both a multiple-choice exam and a hazard perception test.
3️⃣ Complete the 3A Off-Road Manoeuvring Test – Demonstrate your ability to reverse, control, and position the vehicle safely.
4️⃣ Pass the 3B On-Road Driving Test – This practical test assesses your driving ability in real-world traffic conditions—just like John, who passed with only 2 driving faults!
5️⃣ Obtain Your Driver CPC Qualification – If you’re driving professionally, you must complete the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC).
With MT Training, you’ll receive structured, hands-on instruction that prepares you for every stage of the process.
What is the CE 3b Test?
The CE 3b test is the final practical assessment required to obtain a Category CE (Class 1) licence, allowing drivers to operate articulated lorries and heavy goods vehicles with trailers.
During this on-road driving test, candidates must demonstrate:
✅ Vehicle Control – Smooth gear changes, braking, and steering.
✅ Traffic Awareness – Judging speed, maintaining safe distances, and anticipating hazards.
✅ Mirror & Signal Use – Making clear, timely observations and appropriate signals.
✅ Safe Manoeuvring – Handling tight turns, roundabouts, and junctions effectively.
✅ Independent Driving – Navigating set routes without step-by-step instructions.
John’s exceptional result—passing with only 2 driving faults—proves that with the right training, you too can achieve success!
