Steps to Earning Your HGV Licence:
1️⃣ Apply for a Provisional HGV Licence – Complete a DVLA medical exam and submit a D2/D4 form to apply for your Category C or CE provisional licence.
2️⃣ Pass the HGV Theory Test – This includes a multiple-choice test and a hazard perception test to assess your knowledge of road safety and driving laws.
3️⃣ Complete the 3A Off-Road Manoeuvring Test – This test evaluates your reversing skills, spatial awareness, and vehicle control—just like Carl, who passed with flying colours!
4️⃣ Pass the 3B On-Road Driving Test – This test assesses your ability to drive safely in real-world traffic conditions across Yorkshire.
5️⃣ Obtain Your Driver CPC Qualification – If driving professionally, you’ll need to complete the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC).
With MT Training, you’ll receive expert tuition and practical training that fully prepares you for both your 3A reversing test and your 3B on-road test.
What is the CE 3A Test?
The CE 3A test is a vital part of obtaining a Category CE (Class 1) licence, which qualifies you to drive articulated lorries and large goods vehicles with trailers.
During the test, you must demonstrate:
✅ Precise Reversing – Manoeuvring the vehicle into a marked space with accuracy.
✅ Controlled Steering & Braking – Using smooth, stable movements to maintain control.
✅ Good Spatial Awareness – Judging distances correctly to avoid obstacles and align properly.
Carl’s success in this test is a fantastic achievement, proving that with the right training, passing is well within reach!
