Training

It is estimated that the UK transport industry has a current shortage of 75,000 professional LGV drivers. Recruitment Solutions are meeting this challenge by training drivers from B (light van) and C1 (7.5t) level up to LGV C (class two/rigid) and LGV C up to LGV C+E (class one/artic).

Licence upgrades are available to you when you register with us and when you have demonstrated your potential as a driver by working successfully on our current driving contracts for a period of approximately 4 weeks. After this time with us, we shall assess your driving skills in an LGV vehicle and book that all-important training schedule and test date. When you pass your test, we will immediately book you into LGV assignments to give you that all important experience. Should you decide to take a permanent post and move on then that is fine with us, you won't be asked to repay a penny. Most drivers stay with us and enjoy the flexibility of the work we offer.

It would normally cost in the region of £1000 to pass your LGV test but even this does not guarantee that all important pass certificate. Recruitment Solutions can offer you this same opportunity for as little as £400 if your test date is a minimum of three months after your first days work.

If your test date is a minimum of six months after you start working for us then we have a free combined LGV and NVQ scheme! This scheme is funded by the LSC and is based locally.

We will not tie you in with a contract as we hope that you will enjoy working with us and will stay to further improve you licence or to consider training for other licences such as HIAB or ADR.

If you would like to discuss these training opportunities or you would simply want to register for work, then please do not hesitate to contact us via email on or simply call our office on 01392 430800 between 0600 and 1800 Monday to Friday. We look forward to your call.
