Canterbury FAQs

Your questions, answered.

Anything else, call 01795 667 008. Lines are open 8am to 10pm, seven days a week.

Where do Canterbury learners train with Learn2Pass?

At our training centre at Sittingbourne Logistics Park on Swale Way, reached from Canterbury on the A2 or the A299 Thanet Way. Your practical test is taken at the Gillingham DVSA test centre, the lorry and bus test centre serving Kent, and we train you on those routes beforehand.

What HGV and PCV licences can I train for?

Class 2 (Category C) rigid lorry, Class 1 (Category C+E) articulated, C1 7.5 tonne for ambulance, NHS and courier work, PCV bus and coach (D1 and D), and Driver CPC modules.

How long does HGV training take?

Practical training usually runs 5 to 10 days depending on the licence and your starting experience. Including the D4 medical, provisional entitlement, theory and hazard perception tests, CPC modules and the practical exam, most people take around 6 to 8 weeks from first enquiry to licence.

Can I train for a coach or minibus licence instead?

Yes. We train for PCV Category D bus and coach and D1 minibus on our own vehicles. Around Canterbury the tourist coach trade and school and community transport both create demand, and D1 in particular suits people who need to drive a minibus for work or a voluntary role.

What driving work is there around Canterbury?

Canterbury sits between the A2 Dover corridor and the Thanet coast, so drivers here find work in port and Channel freight, regional distribution, agricultural and produce haulage across east Kent, and passenger transport serving the city and the coast.
