PCV Bus Training in Enfield - FAQs
Q: Where is the lorry test centre in Enfield?
Enfield (Brancroft Way) in Brimsdown tests lorries and buses and is about 3 miles by road from Enfield Town. DVSA's 2025/26 figures show 1,992 lorry tests there. Car tests are at a separate centre, Enfield (Innova Business Park). Your test centre is confirmed in writing at booking.
Q: What work is there for lorry and bus drivers in Enfield?
Enfield has the second-largest stock of industrial space in London, with Strategic Industrial Locations in the Lee Valley and at Southbury, and Edmonton has the Eley Industrial Estate and the EcoPark waste site. Arriva London runs bus garages at Enfield and Edmonton. We offer introductions to our employer network once you pass.
Q: Can I get funded HGV training as an Enfield resident?
As a Londoner aged 19 or over, you can check Skills Bootcamps for Londoners, funded through the Greater London Authority. Its finder lists HGV courses under Logistics (Including HGV), though places can be fully booked and some courses are co-funded. Our funding page explains the other options.
Q: What is the difference between a Category D and D1 licence?
Category D1 restricts you to driving minibuses (up to 16 passengers). A full Category D licence is completely unrestricted, allowing you to drive any size bus, coach, or bendy-bus.
Q: Do I need a special medical for a bus licence?
You need the exact same D4 medical as an HGV driver. We handle the booking for you with an approved local physician.
Q: Can I drive a manual bus if I pass in an automatic?
Yes, provided you already hold a manual car licence (Category B). If you pass your PCV test in an automatic bus, you are still legally allowed to drive manual buses.
Q: What kind of jobs can I get with a PCV licence?
You can work for local public transport networks (like Arriva or Stagecoach), private luxury coach hire companies, airport transfer services, or school transit providers.
Q: Is the Driver CPC required for driving a bus?
Yes, anyone driving a bus or coach professionally must hold a valid Driver CPC. We include full preparation for your Initial CPC in your training.
Q: How long is the training?
The timeline is similar to HGVs: typically 5 to 7 weeks from your initial medical to your final practical test, depending heavily on DVLA processing times.
