# Ian Markwick Driver Training Ltd
Ian Markwick Driver Training is a specialist LGV (HGV) driver training provider serving Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. The business delivers professional vocational driver training for both private individuals seeking their HGV licence and commercial fleet operators looking to upskill their workforce.
Ian Markwick himself is a qualified instructor registered on the National Register of LGV Trainers, bringing considerable expertise and enthusiasm to driver development. The company operates a modern fleet of full-size Scania vehicles that provide authentic, professional training environments for learners at all levels.
What distinctly sets this business apart is their ownership of a DVSA-approved off-road testing facility. Following 2021 DVSA reforms that split the practical test into Module 3a (off-road manoeuvres) and Module 3b (on-road driving), Ian Markwick can now conduct Module 3a assessments on-site. This eliminates the need for candidates to attend external test stations for off-road elements, creating a less stressful testing experience on familiar training grounds. They maintain fairness by employing an independent qualified assessor to examine their own trainees.
The business emphasises thorough driver assessments, offering 1-2 hour no-obligation evaluation sessions to identify training needs and establish baselines. This personalised approach ensures training programmes address specific skill gaps, whether for new drivers or experienced professionals requiring professional development or licence category upgrades.
