RM HGV Training GroupWe help people start their driving career.
Four days on a lorry is the gap between the job you have now and a trade with a basic of £28,000 to £50,000, before a single hour of overtime. The Road Haulage Association wants 60,000 new drivers trained every year. We train them, and we start arranging interviews the week you pass.
The standard way into professional driving.
£1,750 including VAT · 4 days training plus test day
Driver shortage and workforce figures: Road Haulage Association and Department for Transport. Pay ranges: industry salary guides, 2026.
Four days of training. Then a trade for life.
Category C is £1,750 including VAT. A Class 2 driver's basic is £28,000 to £36,000 before overtime, so the course costs roughly a month of the wage it unlocks, and you keep the licence for the rest of your working life. That is the whole argument. Here is what everything costs.
The licence gets you hired. The tickets get you picked.
Two drivers apply for the same job with the same Class 1 licence. One of them also holds ADR and a forklift ticket. That is not a close call for the transport manager doing the hiring. ADR, forklift, first aid, Transport Manager CPC, train the trainer, shunter courses, driving assessments and 4x4. Tell us what the job needs and you will have a price the same working day.
ADR, dangerous goods
Tankers, packages, chemicals and fuel. It pays well precisely because not everybody holds it.
Transport Manager CPC
The qualification an operator licence legally requires somebody in the business to hold.
Forklift training
Counterbalance and reach. What warehouses, builders merchants and distribution centres ask for.
First aid
Workplace first aid for drivers, yard staff and office teams. Usually the cheapest line on a compliance audit.
Driver CPC
Initial Modules 2 and 4, and the 35 periodic hours. Uploaded to DVSA within 48 hours.
D4 driver medical
Done here rather than farmed out to a clinic you have to chase. Usually inside the week.
Train the trainer
Instructor training across every category we teach, for operators bringing driver training in house.
Shunter courses
Moving trailers and units around a yard safely. What distribution centres need their yard staff signed off on.
Driving assessments
An independent assessment on your vehicle type, with a written report. What agencies and insurers ask for.
4x4 professional training
Off road driving for utilities, forestry, estates, construction and emergency response teams.
You do not go home and start applying. We start arranging interviews.
Passing is the halfway point. Our trainers still drive commercially, which keeps them talking to the people who do the hiring, and that is worth more to you than any certificate on our wall.
Your pass is confirmed
The same afternoon, not once the paperwork has worked its way through a system.
We make the calls
Straight to the operators we work with and know are taking people on right now.
You are in front of them
Interviews within days rather than months. Winning it is on you, getting the seat is on us.
You start earning
Class 2 basic is £28,000 to £36,000. Class 1 runs to £50,000. Overtime, weekend rates, night out money and bonuses all sit on top of that.
To be clear about what this is. We arrange the interview. We do not guarantee the job, because no honest training centre can, and anybody telling you otherwise is selling you something. What we will not do is hand you a list of job boards and wish you luck.
Your trainer was in a working cab this week.
Most training centres are staffed by people who stopped driving years ago. Ours have not stopped, and it matters more than it sounds.
- Reversing taught for real yards, not one test bay
- Current tachograph rules and roadside checks as enforced now
- A phone full of operators who take their call
- An honest read on what the job does to your week
- Two learners per vehicle, so you actually drive
- Set prices on the licence courses, with nothing added afterwards
What people ask first
Do I need any experience to start?
None. Most of our learners have only ever driven a car. If you hold a full UK car licence and you are 18 or over, you can begin.
What is actually included in the price?
Your training days, your DVSA test day, and two learners per vehicle rather than three or four, which is the single biggest factor in whether you pass first time. Your D4 medical and the DVLA paperwork are handled here rather than left to you. All prices are including VAT, and the quote you get is the number you pay.
How long does the whole thing take?
The order matters more than the total. Your D4 medical comes first. That goes to DVLA and your provisional entitlement usually comes back around two weeks later. Once it lands you can book your theory tests, and once those are passed you are ready for the practical block and your test. Around six weeks for Category C and around four for C1 or D1 is typical.
I have not driven a lorry in years. Do I need to start again?
Almost certainly not. If the entitlement is still on your licence you need practice, not a new licence. Our refresher training covers exactly that, from half a day upward.
Will I get a job at the end of it?
We arrange interviews as soon as you pass, with operators we already work with. What we will not do is promise you the job itself, because the interview is yours to win and anybody guaranteeing an outcome is selling you something.
Can you train my whole team?
Yes. Licences, Driver CPC, first aid and medicals on one account and one invoice, at our centre or at your depot from six delegates. Send us your renewal dates and we will come back with a calendar.
