The two-year contract means Dulson Training will be offering free HGV and ADR training for individuals or 90 per cent subsidised training for SME employers looking to upskill their staff.

It’s part of the Government Skills Bootcamp initiative aimed at tackling the HGV driver shortage and offers an end-to-end programme lasting up to 16 weeks with minimal time away from other commitments – covering everything from enrolment to starting a professional driving career with all the skills and qualifications necessary to succeed in the logistics industry.

Since Skills Bootcamp for HGV Driving launched a few years ago, Dulson Training has been involved as a partner, sub-contractor and even held a small contract as part of a rescue effort when another provider collapsed leaving hundreds of learners who had enrolled with them no option to complete the programme until Dulson Training stepped in.

Dulson Training has now become a prime Skills Bootcamp provider for 2024 and 2025, one of only a handful nationwide.

The company delivers its training programmes across the West Midlands, North Wales, Shropshire, Cheshire and the North West of the country.
