WALLACE delivers training Step By Step.  If you need to get Provisional HGV/LGV entitlement and start to study for your Multiple Choice and Hazard Perception theory test our QUICK START PACKAGE is ideal for you.  Our Quick Start Package is available almost every Saturday and some weekdays and we usually only require 3 to 5 days notice.

If you have already passed your HGV/LGV Multiple Choice and Hazard Perception theory tests then we can arrange your Driver Training and Driving Test straight away.  Generally, as the Driving Tests are usually booking around 2 to 3 weeks ahead then thats the sort of notice we ask for.  But if you need to start at short notice let us know and we'll see what we can do.  And don't forget, once you've made your booking, you can always complete your Driver CPC while you are waiting to start (because you'll need to have your Driver Qualification Card (DQC) in your hand to be a working driver.

Reason to Ask: Some providers ask you to pay for the whole course and CPC upfront, even before your provisional licence has arrived!.  With Wallace, by taking each stage Step by Step you can go as fast or as slow are you wish (and as your finances allow).  And if you've done some of the steps yourself already, that's great!   With WALLACE you only pay for what you need.

Over the phone you may be told you can expect to get a certain amount of training hours but how can you be sure your time will be spent actually driving, not wasting time with several tea breaks, lunch breaks etc.  However we confirm the training hours you have booked in writing. You won't find any small print hidden on our website about vague training 'days'.

We are happy to state, in writing, all the stages (and the costs) to get your licence as well as providing detailed information about the content of your training course booking.   You'll know what you've booked and that's what we will provide.

Yes, we can provide a quote for C and C+E.  Just let us know what you want to do at the time of making your booking.

We are certain that with proper and correct tuition you can be sure to reach test standard and pass your test without additional expense a re-test protection package. 
And we certainly won't ask you to pay up-front, in advance, for an extra test that you probably won't need.
However, if required to re-sit a driving test, please see Step Three for the cost of a 2 hour warm-up session and use of vehicle for test plus DVSA fee. 

You need to look at the small print.  It may be only a guaranteed opportunity to take more than one test, not a guarantee of their ability to teach you fully and properly, or a guarantee of your ability to drive and pass the driving test.

When you make a booking with us, you will save time and money, receive quality training and reliable booking service. We have our own instructors and vehicles and provide accredited and approved training and only provide training for clients who book with us directly.

Nationally advertised training agencies can't help you in the same way as they do not have their own training vehicles and simply 'sell' your booking to the cheapest, unqualified and unregulated providers that they can (and they may not be anywhere near you either!)  

By providing you with 'cheap' training they keep more of your fees.  They have no interest in providing quality training once they have received your money.  A faceless salesman over the phone can promise the earth but doesn't have to deliver - especially when (their small print) says you can't get you money back after 7 days of booking!

You can only establish you are talking to a genuine school by visiting them and taking a look at their training vehicles (may be on an assessment lesson). 

Wallace school of Transport is an independent school, we are not brokers/agents.  Don't fall into the HGV SCAMMERS TRAP!!

Good companies with genuine deals will still be there tomorrow. Take your time about booking.  Don't be rushed into making a decision and buying over the phone. (And certainly not with a Debit Card - Remember payments made by credit card give added protection through the credit card company).  

Wallace School of Transport has been established for over 50 years.

You are welcome to visit our office to pay personally or pay over the phone either by Credit or Debit Card, or cash.  We can also accept BACS payments.

We have three reversing areas conveniently situated at our school. Drivers undertaking Articulated vehicle training particularly benefit from being able to practice the reversing manoeuvres everyday whilst on training.

Individual training, just you and your instructor in the training vehicle, allows you to develop your skills at the most effective rate and you are able to make the best use of your available time. Shared training can be less effective if you are held back by a basic driver.

WALLACE training vehicles are representative of the types of vehicles you can expect to drive once you have passed your test. Employers are more confident to offer 'Wallace' newly qualified drivers work.

Reason to Ask: Many haulage and passenger transport fleets now have automatic transmission vehicles.  You may want to experience driving both manual and automatic vehicles before you start work with your new licence. Many schools will not be able to give you FREE training to allow you to do both

You won't have to wait for your test as we have a special arrangement with DVSA to pre-book driving tests and we arrange your driving test to follow on immediately at the conclusion of training.

The Driver CPC theory module is a computer based test and uses case studies, each one based on real-life scenarios you may encounter in your working life. It aims to test your knowledge and how you put it into practice. You will be asked to answer in a number of different ways such as multiple choice answers, clicking an area on a photograph/image or by typing a short answer. Each test will be made up of 7 case studies, each one with 6-8 questions, with a maximum possible score of 50 (of which the pass mark will be 40). The test will take 90mins to complete.

The Driver CPC practical module focuses on vehicle safety. In this 30min test you will be required to demonstrate your knowledge and ability in the areas listed below:

• Ability to load the vehicle with due regard for safety rules & proper vehicle use

• Security of the vehicle and contents

• Ability to prevent criminality and trafficking in illegal immigrants

• Ability to assess emergency situations

• Ability to prevent physical risk

• Demonstrate your ability through a physical, walk round vehicle safety check

LGV tests will also see the introduction of a new piece of equipment which will allow you to demonstrate your ability. The candidate must score 15 out of a possible 20 points in each of the five topic areas (75%) and an overall score of 80%.

The theory test must be passed before the practical part. Once you have completed both your licence acquisition and Driver CPC tests you will be sent a Driver Qualification Card (DQC). There will be no charge for the card at the point of issue. You must always carry your DQC whilst driving and there will be penalties if you are found to be driving professionally without one.

You will be offered plenty of various driving work with our associate company, an employment agency, Drivers on Demand. For temporary assignments call 020 8453 3444 and mention you are a Wallace customer for priority enrolment.

Yes, we are both involved in the day to day operation of the school. We are proud our name is on our vehicles. We look forward to meeting you at our Park Royal Office.
