The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect LGV driver training and testing throughout the UK, with national and local measures that may impact on practical and theory driving tests. Visit our News page for the very latest information and guidance.
The National Register of LGV Instructors is led by the road transport industry and is the only Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) endorsed instructor and assessor register developed by the industry for the industry.
The not-for-profit register is operated by RTITB and supported by Logistics UK and Road Haulage Association (RHA), all of whom oversee the standards and future development of the register.
As the only register supported by the industry’s leading trade bodies and validated by the DVSA, the National Register exists simply to improve and monitor LGV (often called HGV) instructor and assessor standards, ensuring professionalism and a high standard of training in our industry. The Register has the following objectives:
- To agree and maintain a set of standards for the skills and underpinning knowledge required to be an effective LGV instructor
- To improve the standard of LGV instruction available
- To increase the number of registered LGV instructors
- To contribute to an improvement in the national pass rate of LGV vocational tests
- To publish test pass rates for candidates trained by instructors on the National Register
