Commercial Vehicle Training
Practical commercial vehicle training for technicians, inspectors, workshop supervisors and engineering managers working across HGV, PSV and trailer operations.
Specialist Training for the Commercial Vehicle Sector
Pro-Tech provides practical commercial vehicle training designed around the real-world requirements of workshops, fleet operators and engineering teams.
Our courses support technicians, vehicle inspectors, supervisors and managers with the knowledge and practical skills required to maintain high standards of vehicle roadworthiness, safety, inspection and compliance.
Training ranges from HGV, PSV and trailer inspection through to roadworthiness and defect categorisation, brake test report interpretation, wheel loss prevention and workshop management.
Many courses can be delivered onsite at your own premises, allowing training to be relevant to your vehicles, equipment and working environment. Selected courses can also be delivered online.
That reflects the breadth you’ve actually created — from workshop supervisors and engineering managers through to the practical three-day HGV/PSV/trailer inspection programmes.
Commercial Vehicle Management & Compliance Training

Engineering Managers – Roles & Responsibilities
Develop an understanding of the professional, legal and operational responsibilities of engineering management, including duty of care, vehicle safety, maintenance oversight and risk management.
Roadworthiness & Categorisation of Defects
Build confidence and consistency in assessing vehicle roadworthiness, identifying and categorising defects, reporting findings and making defensible maintenance decisions.
Wheel Loss Prevention
Understand the causes of commercial vehicle wheel-loss incidents and the practical workshop measures that can be used to help prevent them.
Interpretation of Brake Test Reports
IMI-accredited training covering brake efficiency, imbalance and the interpretation of brake test data to support effective roadworthiness and maintenance decisions.

Develop practical inspection skills and a consistent approach to identifying, assessing and recording commercial vehicle defects. Our inspection training combines technical knowledge with practical inspection activity to support safe, effective and compliant vehicle maintenance.
HGV Inspection – Principles & Methods
Practical three-day training covering systematic HGV inspection techniques, roadworthiness defect identification, inspection standards, reporting and documentation.
HGV & Trailer Inspection – Principles & Methods
Combined practical training for personnel responsible for inspecting both HGVs and trailers, covering inspection techniques, defect identification and consistent roadworthiness standards.
PSV Inspection – Principles & Methods
Three-day training covering PSV inspection requirements, safety-critical defect identification, inspection procedures, reporting and practical inspection activities.
Trailer Inspection – Principles & Methods
Focused practical training covering trailer inspection standards, common defect areas, reporting, documentation and structured inspection techniques.
Next section: Commercial Vehicle Training or IRTEC Accreditation?
Pro-Tech provides both practical commercial vehicle inspection training and recognised IRTEC Inspection Technician Accreditation.
Our Commercial Vehicle Inspection – Principles & Methods courses are designed to develop inspection knowledge, practical skills and a consistent approach to identifying and recording roadworthiness defects.
IRTEC Inspection Technician Accreditation provides experienced technicians with an independent assessment of their competence and is available across HGV, PSV, trailer and combined vehicle categories.
If you’re unsure which route is most appropriate for your technicians, our team can help you identify the right training or accreditation pathway.
