A1 Training Group

A1 Training Group delivers specialised HGV and horsebox driver training tailored for the equestrian community. We recognise that transporting horses brings its own set of responsibilities, from managing rural roadways to safeguarding the wellbeing of valuable animals. Our training reflects these real-life challenges, giving riders, grooms, and equestrian professionals the confidence and capability to handle larger vehicles with care and precision.

Our qualified instructors provide complete training across all major licence categories, including HGV Class 1 (C+E), Class 2 (Category C), 7.5-tonne (C1), and B+E trailer licences. In addition, we offer CPC qualifications, refresher lessons, pre-assessment sessions, and tailored training solutions for studs, riding schools, competition venues, and horse transport businesses. All courses are delivered using modern, user-friendly vehicles that make learning both comfortable and accessible.

Understanding that equestrian work often involves long days, early mornings, and travel commitments, we offer flexible training schedules designed to fit around busy yard routines and competition seasons. Our instructors take a calm, encouraging approach, ensuring each learner progresses steadily while building strong, safe driving habits. Our priority is to help every client gain their licence with confidence and skill.

We partner closely with riders, yards, trainers, and transport teams to create training that aligns with the real demands of equine travel. Whether you’re moving up from a 3.5-tonne horsebox, transitioning to larger HGVs, or starting a professional horse transport career, we guide you through every requirement. From vehicle weight regulations to manoeuvring a horsebox in tight spaces, our training combines technical knowledge with practical, equestrian-specific skills.

Known for our reliability, professionalism, and consistently strong pass rates, A1 Training Group is a trusted choice within the equestrian world. Our mission is to ensure every driver leaves fully qualified, well-prepared, and confident in their ability to transport horses safely and responsibly.
