Ian Markwick Driver Training

Ian is very passionate about teaching his pupils best practice - so you're in good hands!. In over thirty years of being involved with transport and logistics for freight and passenger, I have seen many sides of the business. In my lorry driving days, I was involved with farm produce, animal feed, liquid tankers, horses, fresh & frozen food, low-loaders, vehicle MOT preparation and presenting them for the annual test.

You can go to any doctor for this but we recommend Cotswold Medicals, who charge less than most GPs and have locations up and down the country. If you are local to Nottingham, then I can also recommend Dr M Clamp on 07802 850084, who is based in Colwick and is absolutely brilliant.

You can apply for a hard copy of the licence application forms from the DVLA (regrettably, they are not available to be downloaded) however, it can take a few weeks for the DVLA to post them out.I have a supply of licence application packs and I will gladly put one in the very next post to you if you complete your details here.

It is a requirement of the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) that an L.G.V. test candidate has passed the relevant theory test before they can take the practical test. If you are taking the driver CPC course alongside your LGV/HGV licence then you will need to apply for, and pass two separate theory tests.

Your instructor will give a demonstration drive and then it's your turn behind the wheel. The route will start in a quiet area and as long as you are doing well, will continue taking in single carriageways, dual carriageways and built up areas. I will be able to assess your driving and recommend the correct amount of training to you before you commit you and your money to a "set duration" practical training course.

Training with Ian Markwick Driver training is carried using industry specification Scania Large Goods Vehicles. This ensures that you are properly prepared to drive a vehicle that you have the entitlement to drive once you have passed your LGV driving test.

Your training course can be arranged to run on dates that suit your current home and work commitments, however, you will need to be available for the whole duration of your course, giving you the energy to focus on learning to drive a lorry and not worrying about going to work after your training day.If you are available immediately, then we can look for the earliest course available which might be that very same week!
