Established in 2021 in Southampton, HDT offer training services for LGVs. We can help you and your staff through the process of getting your LGV license with both in cab training and classroom learning. Our team of fully qualified driver trainers can train you in everything you need to know so that you can be ready for your HGV test. If you are already a qualified driver, we can help you stay safe on the road by offering our CPC classroom services. For those looking to be able to run their own trucks, we can provide the transport managers courses to get you operating your own fleet.

Our office and training centre is based in the DHL Tradeteam Offices on Nutsey Lane, Calmore Industrial Estate, Totton. Our trainers also travel all over the UK to various locations to provide driver training on site.

While most of training sessions take place in the classroom, we are also able to provide some courses via Microsoft Teams.

Before you can obtain a Cat C or C+E licence, a medical exam will be needed. You will need to arrange this with your local GP or private firm that specialises in drivers medical exams. Once this is completed, you will need to send off your medical form to the DVLA with a completed D2 form. Once this has been approved you will be issued a provisional licence which is needed before you can move on towards the practical stage. Please visit GOV.UK for more information.

It is also advisable to read up on the Highway Code as this is frequently updated with new rules to ensure road safety for all users.

If you already have a valid licence, but perhaps feel like you need more practice, we offer in cab training with a qualified instructor. Whether you need some tips on reversing, or just getting your skills honed if you’ve been off the road for a while, we can tailor our sessions to suit your needs.

We also offer refresher courses for transport managers. Keep up to date with the latest changes that all O-Licence holders need to be aware of.

A transport manager refresher is a two-day course that focuses on the activities required to manage compliance. OLAT is a one-day course that gives an overview of the legal obligations of a vehicle operator.
