What is the difference between Class 1 licence and LGV training?
Often, we are asked about the difference between LGV and HGV. Here’s a quick clarification:
- HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) and LGV (Large Goods Vehicle) refer to the same licence. The term HGV is historical but is still widely used.
- LGV C+E (HGV Class 1) – Allows driving vehicles up to 44 tonnes.
- LGV C (HGV Class 2) – Permits driving vehicles up to 32 tonnes.
- LGV C1 – For vehicles over 3.5 up to 7.5 tonnes (C1+E with trailer).
Passing your Cat C or C+E training and test grants you automatic entitlement to C1 and C1+E respectively. Candidates over 18 can apply and take their LGV tests and initial CPC vocational training.
How to start your HGV driving training
- Check if you have the provisional entitlement on your licence to drive a lorry via the GOV.UK licence check portal.
- Ensure you have completed a medical and submitted your application forms along with your driving licence to the DVLA, we can assist in this process.
- Not sure about your entitlements?
- If you lack provisional entitlement, we'll need to help arrange your D2 and D4 forms, and book a medical before you can start your HGV training for your C+E licence.
Booking your training
- If you have LGV provisional entitlement, contact us today to schedule your training and test.
