Getting Started

Please contact A.J.M Transport Training for the DVLA application forms that you require. The average price for the L.G.V medical is about £90.00 but A.J.M Transport Training have arranged with a local medical centre for a discount price. When all the forms are completed the pupil applies to the D.V.L.A. in Swansea for Category C Provisional Entitlement which will enable them to start training. The Category C Driving Test must be passed before the pupil can go on to the C&E (Artic) Training. There is also an L.G.V. theory test which must be passed before the practical test can be taken. We recommend "home study" by purchasing a copy of "The Official Theory Test for Drivers of Large Vehicles" from any good bookshop or Click Here to order the book from Amazon

The L.G.V/H.G.V Test

The driving or practical test as it is known is conducted at a Driving Standards Agency Test Centre similar to a car test centre but on a larger premises. The test is conducted by a D.S.A. Examiner. The test itself consists of two phases on site and on road. The reversing exercise and the braking exercise are conducted on site at the test centre itself. The second phase or on road lasts about one hour, and the examiner will ask the pupil to conduct certain set exercises. The test route will take in all types of road, including town and country roads, dual carriageway and motorway. The examiner will check the pupil's use of road procedure with regard to the use of mirrors and signals, use of speed, positioning, awareness, dealing with junctions, pedestrian crossings etc. as the test is conducted.
