PCV Training In East London

Our PCV Training / PSV training is based in East London. PCV (Public Carriage Vehicle) was formerly known as PSV (Public Service Vehicle), and anyone who passes a PCV Driving test, will be allowed to drive a PCV vehicle of that particular category for hire and reward. Our PSV / PCV trainining courses in East London are taught by qualified instructors, who have an enviable success record for people passing their PCV Bus, PCV Coach test & PCV minibus test first time.

In order to get an PCV Category D or Category D1 licence, you need to be at least 17 years of age and have a full driving licence with Category B.

Once you have obtained your Category B licence, you must then complete a PCV medical examination (unless you have already completed a medical for an LGV licence), and then apply to the DVSA to add provisional entitlements to your licence for you to learn to drive PCV's (Public Carriage Vehicle's). We suggest that when applying to the to add your PCV provisional entitlements (Category D & Category D1), that you also apply for provisional entitlement for LGV (Category C (Lorry) & Category C1), as it is simply a case of ticking the box on the application form, and like the PCV provisional entitlement, is completely free of charge to apply for, and once added as a provisional entitlement to your licence, will remain there should you require it in the future with no need to re-apply.

Once you have passed your PCV medical exam, and obtained your provisional licence, you will then need to sit and pass your PCV theory test. Once you have passed your PCV theory test, you can then book onto one of our PCV training courses, and look forward to receiving the best possible PCV training to help ensure you pass your PCV practical test first time.

Please follow our flowchart which explains exactly how you get your PCV lorry licence.

PCV Courses

We have outlined our PCV training courses below, and you can view more details about your chosen PCV training course by clicking on the "info button".

Please remeber when deciding which PSV course would suit you best, that if you try to select a shorter PCV cousre to try to save yourself money, you may not pass your PCV test first time, and may end up spending more money on re-tests than if you selected the most appropriate course in the first place.

How do I book my PCV Training Course?

Since all of our PCV courses are bespoke to each individual, the only way you can book a session is to call our offices on 020 8597 7333 or 0800 848 8418 where our office staff will discuss your personal requirements and discuss availability to help you find a suitable time and date to suit you.

Please note, to book your PCV training course you will first need to satisfy some basic requirements:

  • Have passed your LVG/PCV medical examination, which must be current and valid.
  • Have a full car driving licence which is valid with the correct provisional entitlements for your selected course category, and no bans, restrictions or disqualifications which will legally prevent you from attending your course.
  • Have passed your PCV theory test (unless attending an assessment/refresher lesson or you were not required by the DVSA to take a theory test).
  • You must bring your original full UK/EU photocard driving licence. If your photocard licence has expired, then please bring an original, current and valid UK passport as well as your original expired photocard driving licence. If you have the old style paper driving licence, an original, current and valid UK passport is also required. If you have an EU licence, then you will need to bring your original EU photocard driving licence with supporting D91 Form.
  • You must have read the Highway Code, and demonstrate a good knowledge of this and all other UK road traffic procedures at all times.
  • Be able to competently drive a manual car (unless you have booked an automatic course). Our course's are not aimed at teaching you simple basics of how to drive a manual vehicle (such as clutch control), and if you are unable to competently drive a manual car, you will not be allowed to participate in the course, and any fees paid will be forfeited.


Booking a Course if you have an EU Licence

If you have an EU licence, you must obtain a D91 Form from the DVLA.

To get the D91 Form, you will need to complete a D9 Application Form. Once you complete the D9 Application, the DVLA will then send you a D91 Form in the post, and allocate you UK driving licence number.

Once you have the D91 Form and a UK driving licence number, you can then book onto a course with us as well as being able to book any other driving courses/tests/assessments in the UK.

Please note, you will need to bring the D91 Form form with you to your course, so please make sure you do pyhsically have this in your possession before making your booking.
