HGV and PCV Training and Employment Academy

The Mid Ulster LMP through consultation with local industry stakeholders identified the need for a HGV and Coach driver Academy to support industry supply chains by addressing HGV and coach/bus driver shortages, specifically targeting participants who are:

  • Mid Ulster District Council residents

  • Over the age of 21

  • Holders of a full valid driving licence for a minimum of five years with no more than 3 penalty points.

  • Unemployed or underemployed (working less than 16 hours per week) or at risk of redundancy.

The Academy is fully funded and participants have the opportunity to gain a HGV licence (Class 1 or Class 2) and a guaranteed job interview with a local company with HGV vacancies.
