During the programme the apprentices will undertake training and pass skills assessments in a variety of areas including Certificate in Driving Goods Vehicles; Functional Skills (English & Maths); Employee Rights & Responsibilities; How to Protect the Load and Safe & Efficient Driving.  Completion of the programme will lead to an LGV category C or C+E licence and the role of LGV Driver within CEMEX.

To qualify for an apprentice place candidates need to be between aged 18-23 and must hold a full UK car licence.
