Why Train in Gillingham?
Gillingham is a smart choice for HGV learners across Medway and Kent. The local area gives you access to a range of training environments that closely match real driving conditions across the UK. You will practise on dual carriageways, industrial estates, busy roundabouts and narrow residential streets, giving you a complete experience that prepares you for the real world.
Even better, Gillingham is home to an official DVSA test centre. This means you will train in the exact same area where you will take your test. No surprises. No unfamiliar roads. Just expert coaching on routes you will know inside out.
What Routes Can You Expect?
While DVSA test routes are not officially published, our instructors have trained learners on these roads for over a decade. That means we know the exact areas the examiners use. Typical Gillingham routes include:
- A2 and A289 carriageway driving
- Tight turns through Gillingham Business Park
- Hill starts around Darland Avenue
- Controlled stops and junction management in Rainham
At Learn2Pass, you are not just memorising a route. You are mastering professional skills to pass confidently and drive safely anywhere in the UK.
