Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Camden a good place to start my HGV training journey?

Camden's excellent transport links, including major A-roads and connections to London Waterloo, make it straightforward to travel to our Surrey training centre. Starting your journey from a well-connected hub like Camden saves you time and hassle.

Do I need to travel to Dunsfold every day for my training?

Not necessarily. We offer flexible and intensive training schedules. Many of our North London students prefer to book block sessions to minimise travel days and accelerate their learning programme.

Is there a difference between an HGV and an LGV licence?

No, they are the same. The term Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) is the official EU term, while Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) is more commonly used in the UK. Both refer to the same professional driving licences.

Can I get help with the theory test?

Absolutely. We provide all the necessary study materials and online resources to help you pass your theory test with confidence before you begin your practical training.

What is Camden known for?

Camden is famous for its vibrant markets, live music scene, and alternative culture. It's a bustling part of North London with a rich history, from its past as a gin distillery hub to its current status as a global cultural icon.
