After two years of classroom study and practical testing, the first cohort of students has graduated as Ireland’s latest HGV drivers – the first to complete the nationally-recognised Commercial Driver Apprenticeship, which started in September 2022.
Only two per cent of HGV (C & CE) driving licences are issued to women in Ireland. However, this cohort is growing on the back of the continued success of the Transport Operations & Commercial Driving Apprenticeship.
Euan Nagle of Oxigen Environmental, based in the Tullamore Depot is the first male apprentice on the Transport Operations & Commercial Driving Apprenticeship to pass his C Licence test.
