Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to get to the training centre from Muswell Hill?

Not at all. Many of our trainees travel from North London. The journey by car is straightforward via the A3, and the train journey to Guildford is fast and frequent. Our intensive course structure means you won't need to travel every day.

I don't have a car. Is the public transport option viable?

Yes, the train to Guildford and a short taxi ride is a popular option. Some candidates choose to book accommodation closer to the centre for the duration of their intensive course to minimise travel.

What makes Muswell Hill a good place to start my HGV career from?

While you train in Surrey, living in Muswell Hill provides a great base with excellent transport links across London and the rest of the country via the A406 and M1, which is crucial for a career in logistics.

Do I need to do my theory test before booking a course?

Yes, you must have passed your HGV medical and theory tests (Multiple Choice, Hazard Perception, and CPC Case Studies) before you can start your practical driver training. We can provide all the resources you need for this.

Which licence is best for starting a career?

The Category C (Class 2) licence is the most common starting point. However, our Fast Track programme, which takes you directly to a Category C+E (Class 1) licence, is the most time and cost-efficient route to becoming a fully qualified HGV driver.

Are there many logistics and driving jobs in North London?

Absolutely. North London is a major hub for logistics, with numerous distribution centres, retail parks, and industrial estates providing plenty of job opportunities for qualified HGV drivers.
