Ready to arrange your theory tests?

Go on the DSA website twice. Once to arrange the Multiple Choice (MC) appointment and again to arrange the Hazard Perception (HP). If you want to take both tests on the same day, book the MC test first, then allow time either side of that appointment to sit the HP test. The MC test lasts 1 hour 10 minutes and the HP lasts 40 minutes.Click here to book your LGV Multiple Choice and Hazard Perception Theory tests.

Ready to Start Driver Training?

Once you've got your Provisional and passed your theory tests you are ready to start an intensive course of training, or single lessons to suit you for daytime, evening or weekends.

How much training do I need? How much will it cost?

We recommend a DRIVING ASSESSMENT which lasts approximately one hour, when an instructor can see your driving skills and relevant driving experience and advise on the training you'll need to pass so then we can quote you. Don't forget to ask about our PASS PROTECTION.

Looking for work as a C1 deliver driver?

You'll need to sit Driver CPC tests - Case Study Theory Test (Moudule 2) and Practical Demonstration Test (Module 4). We can help you with these.
Your Driver CPC theory test can be taken on the same day as your MC & HP tests although many clients prefer to arrange this test later. Ambulance/Paramedic drivers are exempt from Driver CPC because of their Blue Light Training. (also see our Your Future Career and Jobs page)
