WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Individuals who are interested in enrolling in an LGV Skills Bootcamp should meet certain criteria. Firstly, participants usually need to be at least 19 years old to undertake training for LGV driving due to legal restrictions on operating commercial vehicles. Moreover, applicants must possess a valid driving license, usually for cars (Category B) in the UK with no major traffic violations or disqualifications. Additionally, as driving LGVs can be physically demanding, candidates are often required to meet specific health and fitness standards, which involves passing a medical examination to ensure they are fit to drive commercial vehicles.
It’s important to note that eligibility criteria can vary, so individuals interested in joining an LGV Skills Bootcamp should carefully review the requirements specified by us and ensure they meet all necessary criteria before applying.
Participants may need to demonstrate their right to work in the country where the training is taking place, ensuring compliance with employment regulations.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Candidates should be willing to commit to the intensive nature of the bootcamp, which will involve practical training and online study, as well as a dedication to mastering the skills necessary for a career in LGV driving.
