A big congratulations to Jason, who has just passed his HGV CE 3b test first time at our Newbury Training Centre!

Jason’s success is a great example of what can be achieved with the right attitude and expert training. He came to MT Training ready to take the next step in his professional driving journey—and left with a full Category CE licence, ready to drive articulated lorries across the UK and beyond.

What Is the CE 3b Test?

The Category CE 3b test is the practical assessment required to gain your articulated HGV licence. It’s one of the most advanced licences available to commercial drivers, qualifying you to operate large articulated lorries and take on long-haul and high-capacity driving roles.

The CE 3b test includes:

  • Vehicle safety checks

  • Coupling and uncoupling

  • Controlled reversing

  • On-road driving assessment with a DVSA examiner

Jason passed this test on his first attempt—a brilliant result and a credit to both his hard work and the expert guidance of our Newbury-based instructor team.
