Short Notice HGV Training in Luton
Luton plays a vital role in the UK’s transport and logistics network, with major freight operations centred around Luton Airport, nearby industrial estates, and motorway connections via the M1. These transport links create strong demand for skilled HGV drivers across a wide range of industries including airport freight, retail distribution, and national haulage.
Many drivers begin with a Class 2 licence, allowing them to operate rigid vehicles used for regional deliveries, service fleets, and distribution work. Drivers can then progress to a Class 1 licence, which allows them to operate articulated lorries and access higher-paying long-distance and specialist driving roles.
Our training programmes provide complete preparation, including practical driver training, theory support, CPC certification, and medical guidance. Our experienced instructors will help you develop the confidence and skills needed to pass your test and begin your career successfully.
