HGV Class 2 Cat C Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Class 2 (Cat C) HGV licence?
A Class 2 HGV licence, also known as a Category C or LGV Class 2 licence, allows you to drive rigid vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and up to 32 tonnes. These include refuse trucks, tippers, box vans and other large goods vehicles.
Can I go straight to Class 2 training from a car licence?
Yes. As long as you hold a full UK car (Category B) licence and are medically fit, you can apply for a provisional HGV licence and begin Class 2 training without any prior HGV experience.
How long does the training take?
Our Class 2 training courses range from 16 to 36 hours depending on your experience and confidence level. Most learners complete training and pass within 1 to 2 weeks.
Do I need to pass a theory test before I can train?
Yes. You must pass both the multiple-choice and hazard perception theory tests before beginning your on-road practical training. We provide revision materials and support to help you prepare.
Is the Driver CPC included in the course?
Yes. All our Class 2 packages include CPC Module 4 as standard. This is a legal requirement if you intend to drive commercially.
What vehicles can I drive with a Class 2 licence?
You’ll be qualified to drive rigid goods vehicles up to 32 tonnes, including supermarket delivery lorries, construction trucks, tippers, and waste collection vehicles.
What if I fail a test – do I have to pay again?
We offer optional Pass Protection which covers one free retest per test element (3a, 3b, or Module 4). It’s a great safety net if you’re nervous about test day.
