Services
Our driver training programmes don't just teach you to drive your chosen vehicle safely. As well as correct driving techniques we aim to teach a full range of skills. To be a great driver you need to know about your vehicle, with this in mind you will learn how to diagnose any malfunctions and inspect your vehicle.
Do you need to learn to drive a Category C Class 2 LGV/HGV? Whether it's for a change of career, or just picking up more skills to progress in your current job we can help you to pass the test. Our driving instructors have years of experience teaching in HGVs, and will be able to guide you through the process.
New rules from autumn 2021 mean everyone can legally drive a car towing a trailer. There is a difference between being legal and being safe, the DVLA recommend anyone towing a trailer or caravan should have professional training before getting to the road. Please see the new rules here. All Training is in our own vehicles.
When you first learn to drive a lorry, bus or coach you will need to get your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC). You then have to do 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years to keep your CPC, to drive a lorry, bus or coach. Our driver CPC courses will keep you up-to-date. We organise our training per day, to fit in with your needs.

I’ve recently trained with Kim Driver Training to pass HGV class 2 and CPC card. The whole team are a happy friendly bunch that made me feel at ease throughout the experience. Couldn’t ask for a better instructor than Martin 👌👌👌. Thankyou everyone, I’ll be back to do the Class 1

Learning to drive HGV with Kim couldn’t have been a better experience. Everything was made simple, from booking the theory right through to taking the test. Communication is great and they couldn’t be more helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone, if I could give a higher star rating I would!

I trained with Kim and her team during the pandemic, and the professionalism was second to none. I booked my class 2 with Kim and they booked everything from my theories, tests and CPC exam. Getting me back working after being made redundant during covid. I now drive and transport horses as my job, and I love it! Thanks Kim and team!

Kim and her team were highly praised and recommended by people I met her before I booked my course and she surpassed all the expectations. I highly recommend Kim and the team. the instructors just teach you everything that you need to know, she gives you huge confidence and she really gets behind you and wants you to pass. She also managed to make my HGV training good fun and stress free, which I never expected! Thank you Kim and all the guys.

Kim made everything so easy...I now drive a 26 tonne truck with confidence! First time passes for everything. I am not your typical trucker...a very girly girl, but Kim was so supportive, I never doubted I could do it for one minute, which considering I do doubt myself constantly was a miracle!!! Thanks Kim you are the BEST ❤️

Very professional and helpful, would highly recommend to anyone. Kim was very helpful on showing me how to reverse with some amazing tips to help me get it right. Ellis was a fantastic instructor who took me out on the road and made me feel at ease teaching me everything I need to know and resulting in me passing my trailer test first time. A big thank you to you both.👍🏼

Excellent experience. I did my category C (rigid vehicle) course with Ellis in a 10 metre long vehicle having never driven anything larger than a Renault Master. He was incredibly patient and knowledgable, relaxed and chilled whilst we graced Oxford with our presence. Passed on my first attempt.
Definitely coming back for C+E.
