HGV Class 2 Training (Category C)

Start your professional driving career with our Rigid Truck Category C training. This course qualifies you to drive vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and up to 32 tonnes, opening doors to jobs in logistics, construction, waste management and local delivery work. Learn2Pass provides expert one-to-one tuition, complete learner support and direct access to employment opportunities across Kent and the South East.

Training takes place at our Sittingbourne centre with DVSA-approved instructors using modern, full-sized vehicles, and you test at the Gillingham DVSA test centre. We guide you through every stage, including your medical, provisional application, theory preparation, practical lessons and CPC Module 4. It is a full, proper course: one-to-one from start to finish, with no shared lessons and no shortcuts.

What does Class 2 HGV training cost?

Training price: £1,295 + VAT. Including the DVSA tests, the full cost is £1,764 all in. That covers five full days and 18 hours of one-to-one driving, the Off-Road Exercises Test (£40), the On-Road Driving Test (£115) and Driver CPC Part 4. DVSA fees are not VAT-rated, so they are added after VAT rather than before it.

Finance is available through Snap Finance, and we will tell you the full cost before you commit. There are no hidden extras added later.

What is a Class 2 licence?

A Class 2 licence is the common name for Category C. It lets you drive a rigid lorry over 3.5 tonnes with a trailer up to 750kg. It is the usual first step into professional lorry driving, and it is the licence most Kent employers ask for when recruiting new drivers. If you later want to drive an articulated lorry, Class 2 is the route to Class 1 (Category C+E).

How long does it take?

Five days of training at our Kent centre, once your medical, provisional entitlement and theory test are complete. Most learners go from first enquiry to licence in six to ten weeks, depending on DVSA test availability.
