Started a few weeks ago with my training. Really quick and efficient. Still waiting for my provisional licence to come back. However the online theory practice tests are really helpful. But the person I dealt with has been really helpful and kept me informed with everything. I have liked everything so far.

Polite and efficient booking. Not made obvious they were a broker. Slightly cheaper than the actual provider price. Online course over Zoom platform. Be sure to have a good connection and camera.

Covered most things I needed to know about HGV driving. Not sure the course should take 35 hours, as too much unnecessary discussion, but overall, an interesting course (less the bit about healthy living) and good to interact with other drivers. The industry seems lined with many rules and regulations, so it was a bit of an eye opener, and the use of tachographs seems a bit daunting, but this was all part of what I needed to know.

I found the revision exercises very useful to enable me to pass the theory and hazard perception tests The driving coarse I found very stressful as I had never driven a lorry before and it happened to be the hottest days of the year but after a couple of days my instructor helped me to relax and my driving improved I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered I had actually passed the test I would like to thank everyone involved in the process many thanks

Very thorough for module two theory. Module four was a bit rushed and didn't help that I got the examiner from hell ! However I got 98% on mod 2 and 100% on mod 4, so all good. The mod 4 test is very exam oriented ie there are 13 questions they could ask you, and you have to try and get the four bullet points for each question. Overall pass mark is 80%, so there is a bit of pressure. The training company give you the questions and answers, so you just have to try and learn them in a couple of hours.

The LGV company were fab when I first enquired about doing my Class 2 (HGV) so I could drive my horsebox. I chose LGV as the guy on the phone simply explained how the process worked and followed up with an email with all the details - even though I looked at a few different companies these guys were the only ones who didn't hound me with calls and emails to sign up. They always seem to bring up your details quickly when you call up and are happy to help with guidance and advice. I found the practical training good however I had some experience in a lorry already before I started...perhaps if you were new to driving a larger vehicle a few more hours behind the wheel would be useful. I was pleased to pass first time with only 1 minor and now I am enjoying driving about in my 7.5t lorry with my horse!! As a female I would recommend just going for it - I had a dream of passing this and I did it, so can you!

Having served in the army for ten years I already had my C & C+E licences and wanted to get my initial CPC so I could drive on the weekends for a bit of extra cash. I spoke to this company and a rival, Both offered the same service at the same cost, it was the friendly and professional manner of the guy at the end of the phone that was the deciding factor for me. Mod 2 test revision was easy to use and once I had passed that I was passed on to the person I dealt with (who was also very helpful) to get me booked in for my MOD 4 test. This is where things went slightly down hill, After 2 mix up's and 2 days lost holiday I found myself writing a formal complaint on a Friday evening, by Monday afternoon my complaint was sorted and by Tuesday morning I was taking my MOD 4 Test, (AND PASSED) Thank you to THE LGV Training company for taking my complaint seriously and acting on it surprisingly fast.

So happy I've taken this course. The call centre family are great they work around you and organise everything for you. They always sound polite and genuine once you achieved each stage. This licence has given me the freedom of choice and reassurance that I will always be able to maintain a certain income and always have work. Worth every pennie!

The team is very helpful and do pretty much everything for you, the instructor was spot on and very quickly thought everything required to pass both mod 4 and the driving test

The online theory package is very good, easy to use and navigate and to monitor your progress. More could be done on the practical part of the CPC training in my opinion, I had to go looking for training aids and online video guides for help off my own back. But saying that the instructors I had were very helpful and were great personally. Put the work in and you get the results.!

Once signed up everything else just seemed to fall into place. Very handy having my own account to log into to do theory tests, helped in a big way. Would definitely recommend lgv training to other people. Thank you once again.

Happy I used them as I passed 1st time, however I felt as though I was pressured into paying for the pass protection when I told them I couldn't afford it. They tried about 3 times but I said no and still passed first time. 5 stars if it wasn't for this.

Currently doing a combo course with LGV company. i had done all my theory and mod 2 before, got a call really quickly from LGV company with my dates for the first part my LGV class C,unfortunatley i failed first time round but got i rebooking very quick was surprised with in 2 weeks back on for the day and passed. i did a 4 day course, my instructor was fab , really nice guy and knowledgeable.within the first hour of jumping into the cab i was on the road! loved it. i trained with a buddy, at first thought this would hinder my abitlity to learn and the time i have behind the wheel. but you both get your full time and to be honest it helped having someone there as nervous and making those mistakes, infact in a way it made me better him picking on me and vice versa pick up each others weak points and helping. im currently waiting for my cpc mod 4 got dates just waiting now, then the big one the C+E cant wait!!!. but can i recommend this comapny as a bonerfied genuinely good company that will advise help and secure your profesional licence ...............YES!.

Yes they are a broker as described in another revue but you would have to be crazy not to realize and they don't exactly hide the fact, I did a long internet search before I decided who to go with and overall I have been very happy with the service I have been provided, they contact you regularly are easily contactable if you have an issue or question they are no more expensive or cheaper than anyone else as the prices are much the same where ever you go my only real gripe would be timescales can be longer than you want overall a good company very helpful and pleasant staff and I passed my test just have to find a job now which they are also going to help me with.
