Most Ashford learners complete their practical HGV training in around 5–10 days, depending on the licence type, your driving background and how confident you are to start with. When you include the medical, provisional application, theory tests, CPC modules and practical exam, the full process usually takes around 6–8 weeks. At the start we’ll give you a clear step-by-step plan from Ashford to full licence so you know exactly what to expect and when.
The cost of HGV training for Ashford learners depends on several factors:
- Whether you choose Class 2, Class 1, C1 or PCV

- Whether you need CPC modules, extra lessons or additional theory support
We’ll give you a transparent, tailored quote with no hidden extras once we understand your circumstances and goals. If you’re deciding between going straight to Class 1 or starting with Class 2 and upgrading later, we can price each route so you can compare the total cost and make an informed choice.
