Dundee’s location makes it a vital part of Scotland’s transport network, supporting freight movement between Aberdeen, the central belt, and England. Major distribution centres, construction companies, and logistics operators rely on qualified HGV drivers to transport goods efficiently throughout the region.
Many new drivers begin with Class 2 HGV training, allowing them to operate rigid vehicles such as delivery lorries, refuse vehicles, and construction transport vehicles. From there, drivers often progress to Class 1 training, which qualifies them to drive articulated lorries used for long-distance freight and higher-paying roles.
Our training programmes provide complete support throughout the qualification process, including medicals, theory test preparation, CPC training, and practical instruction.
