HGV Training
Not according to that site and the law on LGV ages from 10/09/2009 so credit to them - they got that correct
Q): How old do I need to be before I can apply to be an HGV Driver?
A): Until recently, the minimum age was 21, but since the 10th Sept 09, the age has now been lowered to 18 years old.
That is a BROKER (middleman) site which means the client pays them for the training but they do not do it - they pay another training school that has their own instructors and trucks to do it which usually means the client pays more than they need to.
CAVEAT: - some brokers do have a few of their own trucks but only train in a small area of the UK - the rest of the clients (the majority) are farmed out
