Things to consider when checking HGV training prices

  • Short courses

    Some training providers may try to condense your training course into less time, with longer days. Try to spread your training over at least 4 days if possible. This helps with retaining the new information.

  • Test location

    Find out where your test will be. Are you going to be training on familiar roads, or near the test centre? Make sure you don’t get sent miles away to do your test at another test centre that suits the training company, not you.

  • Pass rates

    Don’t take claimed pass rates at face value. These have been a contentious issue in the industry for many years, and it’s very hard to know what’s real and what’s not.

  • Not booking directly

    This one is super important! Make sure you book with a local training provider. Don’t sign up for any course over the phone without first visiting the training provider. Check out the premises, the vehicles etc. You could lose a lot of money by booking with a company over the phone.
