Start your career in HGV driving with expert CE driver training in Manchester

If you’re ready to take the next step in your professional driving career, MT Training Services offers HGV CE training in Manchester to help you qualify to drive articulated lorries (Class 1). A huge well done to Swamy, who recently passed his CE 3a reversing test—a key step toward becoming a fully qualified Class 1 HGV driver.

Swamy’s success is a great example of how commitment, expert instruction, and the right training environment can help you achieve your driving goals.

What is a CE Licence?

A CE licence (formerly Class 1) allows you to drive an articulated HGV with a trailer weighing over 750kg. It’s the highest level of LGV licence and opens the door to top-tier driving roles in haulage, logistics, and distribution across the UK and beyond.

Whether you’re upgrading from a Category C licence or starting your career in transport, CE training gives you the confidence and skills to handle the UK’s largest vehicles safely and professionally.
