About us

Built by drivers, for drivers

HGV Academy exists to make getting your Class 1 or Class 2 licence simple, affordable and quick - with real support from people who've done the job.

Our mission

Our mission is simple: get more good drivers on the road. We package everything into one clear quote, offer 0% in-house finance so cost isn't a barrier, and stay with our students well after their pass certificate.

Our story

HGV Academy was started by HGVMETA, who began his own driving career back in 2023 and passed his HGV test in February 2024. He came into the industry with no previous insight into the HGV world and had to figure everything out from scratch.

Along the way he noticed there was a real lack of help for new drivers, and that a lot of people were quitting early on after getting their licence because they had nowhere to turn for honest advice. So he created a Discord community anyone could join, where drivers could help each other get their licence and navigate their day-to-day job - a server with over 1,000 drivers offering real-time help, without any drama or judgement.

HGVMETA has also built HGVJobAlerts to help new drivers find work, and has a large social media following where he continues to put out content and give an honest, healthy insight into the industry.

Clear pricing

One quote covering everything - medical, theory kit, training, tests and CPC. No hidden extras on the day.

Pass protection

Optional cover for retest fees and extra training, so a bad test day doesn't cost you hundreds.

Real support

A dedicated advisor from enquiry to first driving job. WhatsApp, phone or email - whatever suits you.
