Weston College to Deliver FREE HGV Skills Bootcamps for West of England Residents

Weston College will be delivering free HGV training in partnership with West of England Combined Authority, to residents of Bristol, BANES and South Gloucestershire, starting this November.

With a limited number of spaces, participants will be given the opportunity to gain a Category C Licence, which will allow them to drive vehicles between 3.5 tonnes and 32 tonnes.

The HGV Skills Bootcamps offer participants free, flexible courses that last up to 16 weeks, with those that successfully complete the course being guaranteed a job interview.

Principal and Chief Executive of the Weston College Group, Sir Paul Phillips, said: “Following a big demand for driver training, we’re delighted to offer this exciting opportunity to people living in the West of England.

“We will be running three different cohorts over the next couple of months, starting in November, with two other cohorts in early 2023 taking place in January and March.

“We know that many local organisations are facing a skills shortage, and this training will offer vital support for employers looking to recruit drivers.”
