# Alex McAra HGV Training
Alex McAra HGV Training was a specialist HGV and PSV driver training provider based in Perth, Scotland, with over three decades of operational history. Established in 1994, the company positioned itself as the longest-established transport training provider in the Tayside and Fife region.
The business served individuals seeking professional Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) and Passenger Service Vehicle (PSV) licences, catering to career changers, newly qualified drivers, and those requiring licence category upgrades. Their clientele included both private individuals and commercial transport companies across Scotland.
What distinguished Alex McAra HGV Training was the depth of industry expertise behind the operation. The founder, Alex, brought over 40 years of direct transport sector experience, enabling the company to deliver training grounded in practical, real-world knowledge rather than purely theoretical instruction. This extensive background fostered substantial industry connections, lending credibility and insight to their training delivery.
The company offered comprehensive driver training programmes covering all aspects of HGV and PSV licensing requirements, including practical driving tuition, theory and hazard perception test preparation, and guidance on legislation compliance. Their fleet of training vehicles supported hands-on instruction.
However, after nearly 32 years of operation, Alex McAra HGV Training announced closure effective March 2025. The business successfully transitioned its vehicles to LB Driver Training, ensuring continuity of HGV training provision in the region and maintaining access to professional instruction for prospective drivers.
