HGV & PCV Training in Milton Keynes
Lorry and bus training for Milton Keynes with an approved local partner school, and practical tests at Leighton Buzzard, about 15 miles by road.
Why Choose HGVTH Milton Keynes?
Milton Keynes has M1 junctions 13 and 14 on its eastern flank, the A5 dual carriageway to the west and the A421, A422 and A509 crossing the city. Being so close to the M1 has brought a run of distribution centres, including GLP Magna Park near junction 13, about 3.5m sq ft with occupiers such as Waitrose, John Lewis, River Island and AG Barr. There is no lorry or bus test centre in Milton Keynes: Bletchley's DVSA centre is for cars and motorcycles, so practicals are at Leighton Buzzard (Stanbridge Road), about 15 miles by road, or Northampton LGV, about 19. You train one-to-one in a full-size vehicle with an approved partner school local to the area, not at our Kent centre. The training centre, test centre, dates and full price are confirmed in writing before you pay.
