Learn2Pass HGV & PCV Training in Kent

Learn2Pass provides full commercial driver training for every major HGV and PCV licence category. All training is delivered one-to-one by DVSA-approved instructors from our centre at Gillingham Business Park, ME8 0PU, using modern, well-maintained training vehicles.
‍
You can train for the following licences:
‍
Class 2 – Category C - This is the main entry point into the HGV industry. It qualifies you to drive rigid lorries over 7.5 tonnes and opens the door to work in logistics, delivery, construction, waste management and supermarket distribution across Kent and the South East.
‍
Class 1 – Category C+E - The highest HGV qualification. It allows you to drive articulated lorries and typically offers higher earning potential. Many learners complete Class 2 first and upgrade, but we also offer Direct Access routes for those who want to progress straight to C+E.
‍
C1 – 7.5 Tonne Licence - Ideal for ambulance service applicants, removals companies, delivery work and anyone needing to drive small to medium commercial vehicles. No previous HGV experience is required.
‍
PCV – D1 Minibus - Suitable for school transport, community transport and care-sector roles with minibuses up to 16 seats.
‍
PCV – D Bus and Coach - Full bus and coach licence training for public transport, private hire and tour operators.
‍
Driver CPC - We offer both Initial CPC for new drivers and Periodic CPC for existing drivers who need to maintain their professional qualification.
‍
If you are unsure which licence is best for your career goals, our training advisors can explain the differences, earning potential, job routes and the fastest way to get qualified in Kent.
