The LGV Licence Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

Here’s what you need to know to get your LGV licence:

1. Provisional LGV Licence: Your First Step

Before you can get behind the wheel for training or take your assessment, you’ll need a provisional LGV licence.

  • Medical Examination Required: To obtain your provisional licence, you must undergo a medical examination to ensure you meet the required health standards.
  • Need Assistance? If you need any help understanding the forms or the application process, our friendly team is here to guide you. Just let us know!
2. Medical Examination: Getting Started

You’ll need a specific medical examination form as part of your provisional licence application.

  • Where to Get the Form: You can pick up a form at our office, at a large post office, or download it online.
  • Booking Your Medical:
    • Full Package Option: We can conveniently book your medical appointment for you as part of our full training package.
    • Contact Your GP: Alternatively, you can schedule your medical examination directly with your own General Practitioner (GP).
3. Initial Assessment: Understanding Your Needs

This assessment is highly recommended, especially if you’re unsure about the specific type of lorry you want to drive or if you’d like a personalized recommendation for your training hours.
