Professional HGV & LGV Training for Hampshire Drivers
GS Driver Training is the South of England's most decorated HGV training school, having won Best HGV Training Company seven consecutive times. Our training centre is based at Dunsfold Airport in Surrey — a private airfield with a purpose-built reversing yard, manoeuvres area, and DVSA Module 3a test facilities entirely on site. Hampshire drivers typically reach us in 35–50 minutes via the M3 or A31.
Hampshire is one of the UK's most important logistics counties. The Port of Southampton — one of the UK's busiest container ports — generates substantial demand for qualified HGV drivers, as do the major distribution centres along the M27 corridor at Fareham, Eastleigh, and Chandler's Ford. Andover and Basingstoke sit on the M3 freight corridor, connecting Hampshire to London and the Midlands. Wherever you are in the county, a Class 1 or Class 2 licence opens doors to well-paid, permanent employment.
We offer the complete range of commercial driver licences: Cat C+E (Class 1 articulated), Cat C (Class 2 rigid), Cat C1 (medium goods up to 7.5 tonnes), Category D (bus and coach), D1 (minibus), Driver CPC Initial and Periodic, and ADR (hazardous goods). Both male and female DVSA-approved instructors are available, and all courses include the DVSA driving test fee.
Our 5-star Trustpilot rating from over 376 verified reviews reflects what Hampshire students say consistently: patient, professional instructors, well-maintained modern vehicles, and a first-time pass rate significantly above the national average. When you train with GS Driver Training, you are training with the best school in the South of England.
