HGV Training in Dover

Family-run since 2011. Kent's biggest HGV school.

One-to-one Class 1, Class 2, C1 and PCV training for Dover, Deal and Whitfield learners at our Sittingbourne centre, up the A2 and M2, with your test at Gillingham.

HGV training for Dover and Deal

Port town drivers start here.

Dover is one of the busiest freight towns in the country, and the Port of Dover keeps Class 1 drivers in constant demand. Learn2Pass trains learners from Dover, Whitfield, Deal and Walmer one-to-one at our centre at Sittingbourne Logistics Park, about 33 miles up the A2 and M2, usually around 50 minutes. You learn in our own full-size DAF and Scania trucks, coaches and minibuses with a DVSA-approved instructor, and your practical test is at the Gillingham DVSA test centre. We are family-run and have trained Kent drivers since 2011.

  • TestAt Gillingham DVSA
  • 1 to 1Start to finish
  • A2 and M2 all the way

    From Dover, take the A2 to the M2 at Brenley Corner, leave at junction 5 and follow the A249 north to Swale Way. It is around 50 minutes from Dover and a little longer from Deal. Parking is free on site.

  • Pick your start time

    Training days usually start at 6am or 10am, with around four hours of one-to-one driving. The 10am start lets you miss the early traffic.

  • One price, all in

    Licence course prices include VAT and both DVSA tests, with our Price Match Guarantee. You can spread the cost with Snap Finance, subject to status.

  • Port and Channel freight work

    The Port of Dover, the White Cliffs Business Park at Whitfield and the Channel freight routes along the A2 and M20 all need drivers, especially with Class 1. After you pass, we introduce you to employers across Kent.

  • Driver CPC, planned in

    To drive for a living you also need Driver CPC Modules 2 and 4. We explain where they fit, and Module 4 can be done with us in a single half-day visit, training and test together.

  • One-to-one in full-size trucks

    One learner, one instructor, one truck. You learn on the routes around the Gillingham test centre, so test day is familiar ground.

How our Dover HGV training works

We confirm the right licence for the work you want and your all-in price, then help you through the medical, provisional entitlement, theory tests and Driver CPC. Your one-to-one training runs over consecutive days at our Sittingbourne centre, with a 10am start if you would rather miss the traffic, finishing with your practical test at Gillingham.

Where do Dover and Deal learners train?

At our centre at Sittingbourne Logistics Park on Swale Way, ME10 2FF. Take the A2 to the M2, leave at junction 5 and follow the A249 north. It is about 33 miles from Dover and 35 from Deal, usually around 50 minutes. Parking is free.

Which licence do I need for port and Channel freight work?

Class 1 (Category C+E). Most port, trunking and container work uses articulated lorries, and it usually pays the best of the standard licences. You can go straight from a car licence to Class 1 in one eight-day course, or start with Class 2 and upgrade later.

Do I need Driver CPC as well as my licence?

Yes, if you are driving for a living. New drivers need Driver CPC Module 2 (the case studies theory test) and Module 4 (a practical demonstration). We do Module 4 in a single half-day visit, with the training and test together.

Where will I take my practical test?

At the Gillingham DVSA test centre, Kent's lorry and bus test centre. You take it in one of our vehicles, after training on the roads around the test centre.

What time do training days start?

Usually 6am or 10am, with around four hours of one-to-one driving each day. From Dover and Deal, the 10am start lets you miss the early traffic.

Can I spread the cost?

Yes. Spread the cost with Snap Finance, subject to status. Checking your eligibility does not commit you to booking.
