At MT Training, we’re proud to celebrate the success of our learners across the South West. This week, congratulations go to Paul, who achieved a fantastic result by passing his CE 3b test in Plymouth. His determination and skill highlight exactly what can be achieved with the right training and support.

Why Choose HGV Driver Training in Devon and Cornwall?

The South West offers a unique landscape for professional drivers. From busy city centres such as Plymouth and Exeter to the winding roads of Cornwall and the A30 trunk route, HGV drivers need to be confident, adaptable, and highly skilled.

By training with MT Training in Devon and Cornwall, learners benefit from:

  • Local training centres in Plymouth and surrounding areas

  • Experienced instructors who know the region’s roads inside and out

  • Flexible training schedules to suit work and personal commitments

  • Support through every stage of the licence process, from medical to final test

What Is the CE 3b Test?

Paul’s achievement came in the CE 3b test, the practical element that qualifies drivers to handle articulated lorries. This is a key step for anyone aiming to progress from a Category C licence (rigid trucks) to a full Category CE licence, opening doors to higher-paying jobs and long-distance driving opportunities.

Passing the CE 3b test proves that a driver has the confidence, awareness, and technical ability to manage large vehicles safely — whether on rural roads in Cornwall, busy ports in Plymouth, or motorways linking Devon to the rest of the UK.

Demand for professional drivers remains strong across Devon and Cornwall. With key logistics hubs such as Plymouth port, Exeter’s transport links, and distribution centres throughout the region, qualified HGV drivers like Paul have excellent opportunities ahead of them.
