If you’re aiming to pursue a career in logistics or enhance your driving qualifications, MT Training in Taunton, Somerset, is the ideal place to start. We specialise in HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) driver training, offering comprehensive courses that will prepare you to pass your HGV test with confidence. We’re especially proud of our learners’ success, and today we’d like to congratulate Stephen, who recently passed his Category C 3b test with an outstanding result!
What Does HGV Driver Training Involve?
The HGV driving test is divided into two parts, known as 3a and 3b, to ensure candidates are fully prepared for the demands of driving a heavy vehicle. Here’s an overview:
- 3a Test: This part covers the off-road exercises, such as reversing, vehicle coupling, and essential manoeuvres. One of the key advantages of this split testing structure is that you must pass the 3a before moving on to the 3b test. If you don’t pass the 3a test, you can retake it without paying for the full driving test, saving both time and money.
- 3b Test: Once you’ve successfully passed the 3a, you can take the 3b, which focuses on your on-road driving ability. The examiner will assess your competence in using the vehicle’s controls, managing speed, and dealing with different road conditions. You’ll need to show awareness of other road users, handle hazards safely, and demonstrate good control over the vehicle. The test also includes navigating uphill and downhill, performing controlled stops, and using mirrors and signals appropriately.
Stephen’s recent success in his Cat C 3b test is a brilliant example of the high-quality training we provide at MT Training. His achievement highlights how our structured courses equip drivers with the skills needed to navigate real-world driving situations confidently and safely.
