Frequently asked questions.

Common question we are asked.

Am I eligible for free HGV training?

To determine if you’re eligible for free HGV training through programs like the ones offered at Wetherby Training, you need to meet the following criteria:

  1. Age: You must be 19 years or older.
  2. Work Eligibility: You need to be eligible to work in the UK.
  3. UK Residency: You should have lived in the UK for at least 3 years.
  4. Driving Licence: You must hold a valid car (Category B) driving licence for at least 12 months.

If you meet these criteria, you may qualify for fully funded or subsidised HGV training through government initiatives. Job seekers and self-employed individuals are often eligible for fully funded places, while employer-sponsored learners may access heavily subsidised options. Spaces are limited, so it’s advisable to apply early.
