What can you expect from a HGV/LGV training course?
Don't worry if you find yourself a little bit confused when pondering the differences between HGV and LGV - they essentially amount to the same thing. HGV is the most common British term used, while LGV tends to be used by the EU.
If you decide to undertake HGV training then you can expect to learn everything you need to know about being an HGV driver. Probably one of the most important things you will learn is, obviously, how to drive an HGV vehicle. There are two main types of HGV vehicle - known as HGV 1 and HGV 2. HGV 1 lorries are articulated, while HGV 2 vehicles are rigid. You'll be able to find out about the differences between them and the different ways in which you will need to handle them.
You can expect to receive intensive tuition to make sure you know how to hand the vehicles properly, which will certainly stand you in good stead when it comes to finding HGV jobs later on. You can also expect to learn something of the theory behind HGV driving, such as how to make sure your vehicle stays in good condition (this is important when you consider that you'll be spending a lot of time in it if you are successful when applying for HGV jobs). You'll also be expected to know about road safety and issues such as HGV speed limits; these are things that you can generally expect to be covered on your HGV driving course.
Why should you consider HGV/LGV training?
There are many reasons you should consider undertaking HGV training. One of the main reasons is that if you want to make a career out of driving HGV vehicles, you will definitely need a license to do so. Completing the training will prove that you have the skills necessary to do the job to a high standard.
It can also help to improve your career prospects, especially as driving an HGV vehicle is considered to be a skilled profession. Many people are happy with being drivers their whole careers as they really enjoy the chance to get out and about, meeting a range of people over the course of their HGV jobs. Other people start off as drivers and then work their way up through the company they work for; many managers of haulage and other transportation firms originally started as drivers.
There are also good prospects for variety in the work of an HGV driver; the license you obtain from your HGV training will be valid in the vast majority of countries, meaning that if you have ever dreamed of working abroad this could be your ticket to doing so. Many HGV jobs also offer opportunities to deliver to a wide range of locations, so as long as you are someone who is happy in your own company you could experience lots of different people, situations and even different cultures in the course of your work - and that's not something you can say about every job!
