Class 2 Training in North London - FAQs
Q: What lorry and bus work is there in North London?
Enfield has the second-largest stock of industrial space in London, Edmonton EcoPark is sized for household waste from seven boroughs, and Park Royal near Wembley has more than 1,700 businesses. Arriva London, Metroline and London Sovereign all run bus garages across the area. When you pass, we offer introductions to our employer network.
Q: Can Londoners get funded HGV training?
Londoners aged 19 and over can look at Skills Bootcamps for Londoners, run by the Greater London Authority. Its course finder lists HGV courses under Logistics (Including HGV), some fully funded and some co-funded, and places can fill up. Our funding page explains this and other routes.
Q: What does HGV training cost in North London?
Every course price is on our pricing page, with DVSA test fees included. Wherever you live in North London, your full all-in price, training centre, test centre and dates are confirmed in writing before you pay anything.
Q: What exactly is a Class 2 (Category C) vehicle?
A Class 2 vehicle is a "rigid" truck where the cab and the trailer are permanently fixed together. This includes vehicles like fire engines, bin lorries, tipper trucks, and large box vans used for store deliveries.
Q: Can I drive an articulated lorry with this licence?
No. To drive an articulated lorry (where the trailer pivots behind the cab), you need a Class 1 (C+E) licence. However, getting your Class 2 is an excellent stepping stone, and you can easily upgrade to Class 1 later in your career.
Q: How much can I earn as a Class 2 driver?
Newly qualified Class 2 drivers typically start on £30,000 to £35,000 per year. Because these roles often involve local routes and multi-drop deliveries, the hours are usually very regular, allowing you to be home every evening.
Q: Do I need a Driver CPC for Class 2?
Yes. If you are driving an HGV for commercial purposes (to earn money), the Driver CPC is a legal requirement. Our training packages include full preparation for your Initial CPC modules.
Q: Will I learn in a manual or automatic truck?
You will train and test in a modern automatic rigid truck. Due to DVLA rule changes, passing in an automatic still gives you the legal entitlement to drive manual Class 2 vehicles.
Q: How long does the training take?
From your initial medical to passing your practical test, the process usually takes 5 to 7 weeks. The longest part of the process is simply waiting for the DVLA to return your provisional licence.
