Why Choose HGVTH East Sussex?
East Sussex driving work splits between the urban delivery and construction traffic around Brighton and Hove, and the port and freight movements through Newhaven. Coach and bus work is unusually strong here as well, with coastal tourism and school transport across the county, which makes PCV a serious option rather than an afterthought. Class 2 covers most of the local multi-drop and construction work, while Class 1 opens up the longer runs inland. East Sussex learners train with us in Kent, and we tell you that before you book rather than after.

Training, testing and paperwork for East Sussex drivers
Where you take the practical test
Hastings (Ore) LGV. East Sussex candidates generally use Hastings. It is worth knowing that Hastings is also the fallback centre the DVSA offers east Kent candidates since Hersden closed — which tells you how thinly lorry testing is spread along this coast.
Where you sit the theory test
Hastings. Hastings is the only theory test centre in East Sussex, and it doubles as the county lorry practical centre. For a large, largely rural county that is a single point of access for both stages.
