ABOUT THE COURSE
The Class 1 vehicle is the biggest vehicle you can drive in the area of HGV. These are most widely referred to as an Artic or Class 1. These vehicles are over 3.5T and have a trailer with a weight over 750 Kg.
When you are on the roads, it’s hard to miss the big Articulated (Artic) lorries. There has been a lot in the news and press about the driver shortage of people that are able to drive these large vehicles. As a result, it is now even easier and more cost effective to be able to train to drive these vehicles and feel like you are a king on the road.
Wages for newly qualified Class 1 drivers is at a high level, where drivers can expect to earn in the region of £34k and upwards.
