HGV Training in Rochester

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

One-to-one Class 1, Class 2, C1 and PCV training for Rochester, Strood and Frindsbury learners at our Sittingbourne centre, a straight run down the M2.

HGV training for Rochester and Strood

Rochester and Strood, straight down the M2.

Learn2Pass trains learners from Rochester, Strood, Frindsbury and the Hoo Peninsula at our centre at Sittingbourne Logistics Park. Join the M2 at junction 1 or 2, leave at junction 5 and head up the A249: about 18 miles from Rochester and 20 from Strood, usually around 25 minutes. Every lesson is one-to-one in our own full-size trucks, coaches and minibuses with a DVSA-approved instructor, and your practical test is at the Gillingham DVSA test centre, a short drive from Rochester. We are family-run and have trained Kent drivers since 2011.

  • Straight down the M2

    From Rochester or Strood, join the M2, come off at junction 5 and follow the A249 north to Swale Way. It is around 25 minutes outside rush hour, and parking is free on site.

  • Training days that suit you

    Training days usually start at 6am or 10am, with around four hours of one-to-one driving. We plan the days around your work and family where we can.

  • One price, all in

    Licence course prices include VAT and both DVSA tests, with a Price Match Guarantee. Spread the cost with Snap Finance if you prefer, subject to status.

  • Work from Medway to London

    Medway City Estate, Thamesport on the Isle of Grain and the A2 and M2 corridor towards London all keep drivers busy. Once you pass, we introduce you to employers across Kent.

  • The paperwork, sorted

    We explain the D4 medical, the D2 provisional form and the theory and hazard perception tests, and help you book them in the right order.

  • One-to-one, on the test routes

    One learner, one instructor, one truck. You practise on the roads around the Gillingham test centre, so test day holds no surprises.

How our Rochester 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 and theory tests. Your one-to-one training runs over consecutive days at our Sittingbourne centre, around 25 minutes down the M2, finishing with your practical test at Gillingham.

Where do Rochester and Strood learners train?

At our centre at Sittingbourne Logistics Park on Swale Way, ME10 2FF. Join the M2 at junction 1 or 2, leave at junction 5 and follow the A249 north. It is about 18 miles from Rochester and 20 from Strood, usually around 25 minutes. Parking is free.

Do you train learners from the Hoo Peninsula?

Yes. We welcome learners from Hoo, High Halstow, Cliffe and the Isle of Grain as well as Rochester and Strood. From the peninsula, come down the A228 to the M2 and allow a little extra time.

Class 1 or Class 2 for work towards London?

Class 2 (Category C) covers rigid lorries and suits multi-drop, building supplies and local distribution. Class 1 (Category C+E) adds articulated lorries for trunking, container and port work, which usually pays more. You can go straight from a car licence to Class 1 in one eight-day course.

Where will I take my practical test?

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

What time do training days start?

Usually 6am or 10am, with around four hours of one-to-one driving each day. Your exact time comes with your booking confirmation.

Can I spread the cost?

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