UK Category C & C+E HGV Driver Training Courses With DVSA Test Prep Announced

TRS Training Ltd announces its HGV driver training programmes, available for drivers across the UK looking to enter or progress within the road transport industry.

St Helens, United Kingdom, November 12, 2026 /PressCable/ -- TRS Training’s latest announcement covers nationwide training pathways for both new and existing commercial drivers, including progression from Category C to Category C+E and a nine-day route from a full UK car licence to Category C+E. The programmes combine one-to-one practical instruction with preparation for the required DVSA driving assessments.

The announcement reflects continued demand for qualified drivers across the UK road transport sector, with TRS expanding access to practical training for people entering the industry and those progressing to higher licence categories. The Road Haulage Association said in November 2026 that around 200,000 new HGV drivers are expected to be needed over the next five years as recruitment and retention remain important across the sector.

Drivers who already hold a Category C licence can progress through TRS’s five-day Category C to C+E course, which prepares them to operate articulated vehicles weighing up to 44 tonnes. The training focuses on the practical differences involved in moving into Class 1 driving, from trailer handling and vehicle articulation to the judgement required when manoeuvring a longer combination on different types of road.

The programme is delivered one-to-one, giving learners sustained time behind the wheel with an HGV instructor. Four mornings are devoted to practical training, with the fifth day reserved for the assessment, including the reversing exercise and on-road DVSA driving test. “One-to-one training gives instructors the opportunity to focus closely on the areas each learner needs to develop,” a TRS representative said.

A separate nine-day pathway is available for people entering the sector from a car licence. It develops the same core competencies over a longer period, taking learners from vehicle familiarisation through to handling an articulated HGV in urban, rural and motorway conditions. This gives prospective drivers a direct route towards roles such as trunking, retail distribution, container transport and refrigerated haulage.

Employers can use the courses to develop existing staff as well, particularly where a driver already holds Category C but needs C+E entitlement for a new role or wider operating responsibilities. TRS also works with employers seeking qualified drivers, creating a connection between training and employment opportunities within transport and logistics.

Courses are available through TRS training locations across England and are delivered by experienced HGV instructors. The company also offers apprenticeship routes and other funded training options where eligibility requirements apply.
