Kent and Medway LGV Training
Welcome to Kent and Medway LGV Training, the premier training center in the region dedicated exclusively to Category C1 driver education. We specialize in training for emergency services personnel, particularly trainee paramedics, providing tailored courses that meet industry standards and regulations.
With over three decades of experience in driver training, we offer a unique combination of expertise and friendly, professional instruction. Our courses focus on vehicles under 7.5 tonnes, making them significantly easier and more cost-effective compared to full LGV training. This specialization makes us a popular choice among our clients, especially those interested in ambulance services, horse boxes, and other similar vehicles.
Our training encompasses two full days of intensive, one-on-one instruction, finishing with a practical test on the third day. This approach not only prepares you thoroughly but also fits seamlessly into your busy schedule. Our pricing is competitive, ensuring no hidden costs—just £845 covers the whole package, including your DVSA test fee.
At Kent and Medway LGV Training, we are committed to providing all our students with the best chance of success. If you're considering a career that involves driving for emergency services or any other category C1 vehicle, don’t hesitate to contact us. We are here to help you every step of the way!

Negative experience: I wouldn’t normally leave a review on behalf of someone else, but after seeing my partner come home in tears, dreading the thought of returning for her next lesson, I feel it’s important to share this for future learners. On her first day, she felt welcomed and at ease, which gave her confidence going forward. However, the next day was a completely different experience. Chris, the instructor, made comments that were not only unprofessional but outright unacceptable. He told her she needed to "get her head checked," called her "absolutely ridiculous," and even said she was "so stupid." This was in response to minor errors—mistakes that any learner could make. No one should be spoken to like this, especially in a learning environment where patience and encouragement should be the priority. In my opinion, this is no way to treat a student, and I would strongly advise others to consider this before booking.
Fantastic experience: Chris creates a really comfortable and effective learning environment, Personally im nervous when being examined but Chris was aware of this and helped me gain confidence in my driving. Really amazing teaching techniques, Instructors are experienced and willing to help a lot. Definitely recommend.
Thanks for the kind words, you are definitely one that I'll remember for long time!
Now you've got this out of the way you can concentrate on the important stuff like saving lives. All the best for the future.
Fantastic experience: Passed first time! Thanks Chris - great stuff
Well done, I didn't need to do a lot to be fair but thanks for the review
Positive experience: Chris is a very experienced driving instructor. He is calm, collected and very sensible. Chris is very good at explaining things and he is encouraging. I do however think he can be very critical. If you are a nervous/anxious person, I would suggest telling him but he will work around that and aid you in the best way. Although he is critical, he is extremely experienced and good at his job. It is also such a cheap instructor. £845 for 2 days training and the 3rd day having a test is perfect especially for anyone in a rush to get the C1 license. He is good. Overall 4 stars, only one knocked off for his mannerisms. Thank you again.
Thank you for your review, I guess 4/5 could be worse. We all have mannerisms and I will remind you of your apparent confidence in your opening email:-
Hi there, I'm Adam,
I am a 3rd-year student paramedic student looking to obtain a c1 test and driving lessons for this classification of vehicle. I have been driving for a long time now and believe only a few lessons will aid me in my test.
Kind regards,
Adam
Obviously this came across as being very confident in your own ability although as it turned out, there were a few problems. Correcting driving faults is the exact nature of the job I do. Many find this to be helpful, some believe it's being critical, it's really down to opinion. Without this help, it's unlikely that anyone would gain the C1 entitlement.
I hope you are progressing well with your career.
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing few days training with Chris at Kent and Medway LGV Training. He booked me in with just one weeks notice, was patient and knew exactly how to support me, we even had a few laughs along the way! I passed both practical tests first time and owe it all to him. Can't recommend him enough! Chris only deals with C1 training meaning he is ideal for ambulance crew with looming deadlines as he has greater availability and understands the time commitments. The majority of his customers are student paramedics or ambulance crew. I'm so grateful, thanks again Chris!
Thank you for your lovely review and it was a pleasure to help you get the results you needed. It was certainly an interesting couple of days for me, never knowing for sure where we would end up going at the next roundabout!
All the best in your future career.
