Folkestone HGV Training Made Simple

Yes. Although the DVSA test centre is in Gillingham, many of our learners come from Folkestone, Dover and along the M20 corridor, so our courses are set up to work well for drivers from East Kent. You deal directly with a Kent-based HGV school (not a national broker), and we plan your schedule to minimise wasted trips while still giving you plenty of time on real DVSA test routes.

From Folkestone you can train with Learn2Pass for a full range of commercial licences, including:

‍Class 2 (Category C) – rigid HGV licence

‍Class 1 (Category C+E) – articulated HGV licence for trunking and long-haul work

‍C1 (7.5 tonne) – ideal for parcel, ambulance and light haulage roles

‍PCV bus and coach licences (D1 and D)

‍Driver CPC – initial and periodic CPC modules
‍
We’ll help you decide whether Class 2, Class 1, C1 or PCV is the right path for the kind of work you want in Folkestone, Dover, Ashford and across Kent.

Most Folkestone learners complete their practical HGV training in around 5–10 days, depending on your licence type and previous experience. When you include your HGV medical, provisional application, theory and hazard perception tests, CPC modules and final driving test, the full process typically takes about 6–8 weeks. At the start we map out a clear timeline so you know when you need to travel from Folkestone and how the stages fit together.

The cost of HGV training for Folkestone learners depends on:

Which licence you choose – Class 2, Class 1, C1 or PCV

‍How many days of practical training you need

Whether you require CPC modules, extra lessons or additional theory support

Once we understand your situation and goals, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. If you’re unsure whether to go straight to Class 1 (C+E) or start with Class 2 (C) and upgrade later, we can talk you through the costs, timings and job options for each route.
