What is an LGV Instructor?
An LGV Instructor is a qualified professional who delivers training to people who want to be Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) drivers. An LGV Instructor may also be referred to as an HGV Instructor (Heavy Goods Vehicle), as the terms LGV and HGV are commonly used interchangeably within the UK transport industry. Regardless of job title, their role is to help drivers develop safe, compliant, and efficient driving skills.
This may include:
-Initial driver training
-Cat C or Cat C+E licence acquisition
-LGV driver assessments
-Fuel-efficient driving techniques
-Driver induction programmes
-Driver CPC Periodic Training Remedial training
-Ongoing LGV/HGV driver development
So the quick answer is that an LGV Instructor is trained to teach and assess lorry drivers, helping improve safety, compliance, operational efficiency, and driver competence.
However, LGV Instructors are so much more. They are coaches and mentors to drivers, an approachable person to turn to when needed. They are champions of safety culture, masters of consistency, compliance gatekeepers, and incredible role models.
