Driving Ambition

Whether you are looking for an LGV or minibus licence, GTG Training has the course for you.  Offering an extensive list of driving related qualifications, from safe and fuel efficient driving to car and trailer training, GTG is one of Scotland’s leading training providers.

With an ever increasing shortage of qualified LGV drivers, GTG provides an ideal solution to this persistent problem.  Catering for the needs of individuals, through to established haulage and distribution companies, GTG has a long history of delivering specialist driver training across a number of industries. Similarly, those seeking a career change or career progression will also find GTG the perfect environment for developing the necessary skills.  The LGV Class C qualification has been designed to give learners the chance to upgrade their car licence, and train for the Class C (rigid) vehicle test.  The LGV Class C + E allows drivers to take the Class C certification a step further and gain the qualification which permits them to drive articulated vehicles.

GTG’s reputation as a leading supplier of transport training has helped establish strong working links with the Scottish business community, giving those who qualify greater access to potential employers. An attractive salary, travel and a flexible working pattern all await anyone wishing to pursue a career as an LGV driver and GTG is on hand to offer help and advice on how to secure the necessary funding for training. GTG has specific finance packages designed to help people secure the funding they need to start their qualification and can also help arrange funding through ILA Scotland. 

In addition, the Passenger Carrying Vehicle Class D and Minibus Training Category D1 qualifications are both available at GTG and would be ideal for anyone who is interested in passenger transport, either in a professional or private capacity. An exceptionally useful qualification, the Minibus and Passenger Carrying Vehicle courses offer drivers huge opportunities.  Whether you are in a voluntary role with a community group or looking to build up a small travel business, these two qualifications can open the door to endless possibilities.

For those who already hold the minibus or LGV licence, GTG has a list of additional logistics based courses to complement your existing qualifications skills base.  Courses include ADR, CPC, forklift and various plant courses,
all of which can enhance your chosen career path. All GTG training courses are delivered in a friendly and efficient environment and with operations in both Glasgow and Edinburgh , GTG is hugely accessible to west, central and the east coast of Scotland.

September 2007 saw GTG Glasgow launch its brand new £10million training and conference facility on the banks of the River Clyde.  This state of the art 61,000 sq ft centre has its own driver training and manoeuvring area, a forklift training centre, 14 craft and technical classrooms with adjoining workshops, 10 IT and soft skills training suites and a 200 seat theatre style auditorium. Aside from the extensive list of automotive and logistic based training delivered at GTG, an inclusive list of IT and business skills courses are also on offer.  From Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint to PRINCE2™ and suspicious packages, GTG is a comprehensive training provider, satisfying the needs of many industries.

The fully operational workshops allow trainees to put theory in to practice in a professional environment and the purpose built manoeuvring area is the perfect practise area for budding LGV learner drivers.
