In this programme we take Class 2 licence drivers and upskill them to the Class 4 (heavy rigid vehicle) licence. You get paid throughout the training process, with pay increases each time you qualify for a new licence Class.
In two weeks, we take you from a Class 2 licence to a Class 4, and then over a six-month period we give you the opportunity to build your experience until you can operate independently.
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in all areas of the trade, while getting paid at the same time! Our supportive team culture helps you build your skills set and prepare you for your next steps at Firth.
