Steps To Getting You A LGV Licence

Step 1
Download or request for your LGV provisional licence application form called a D2 and a medical form called a D4 from  http://www.direct.gov.uk/  You can provide us with your name and address, including your postal code and we will send a pack to you.

Step 2

Step 3
Send your completed form and medical form off; along with your current licence to, DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BR

Step 4
While you’re waiting for your licence (DVLA aims to deliver within three weeks), study up on the LGV theory test.  Books can be purchased from a shop or borrowed from your local library.  We also hold a few copies of these books (but limited numbers).

Step 5
When your licence arrives back from the DVLA you can book your theory test – Cost £35 for the theory and £15 Hazard perception total £50.  We are happy to do this on your behalf if you wish.  

Step 6
Once you have passed your theory test contact us and we will arrange your LGV training and test. Currently the DVLA test fee is £115.00. Current costs for your course is £935.00 + test fee £115.00 total £1050.00 in our training vehicle.   Please contact us as prices will vary if we are training in your own vehicle (subject to meeting the DSA requirements for test standards).
