GTG Training is proud to announce its new partnership with Renault Trucks, delivering HGV apprenticeship training to support the next generation of heavy vehicle technicians. This collaboration offers aspiring professionals a unique opportunity to train with one of the leading names in commercial vehicle manufacturing.

Cutting-Edge Training for a Future-Ready Workforce

The new HGV Technician Apprenticeship Programme blends expert-led, hands-on training at Renault Trucks’ newly opened, state-of-the-art training facility in Leicester with immersive, on-the-job learning at dealerships. Apprentices will gain practical experience using the latest diagnostic tools and vehicle technologies, equipping them with the essential skills to excel in the commercial vehicle sector.

“We’re excited to work alongside Renault Trucks to support the growth and development of future technicians,” said Rosie Hawkins, GTG Quality Systems Manager.

“This partnership strengthens our commitment to delivering high-quality training that meets the evolving demands of the automotive industry. By investing in apprenticeships, businesses can address current skills gaps while building a strong pipeline of talent for the future.”

The programme offers a well-rounded learning experience, combining classroom instruction, workshop-based training, and real-world dealership placements—designed to meet the high standards of both Renault Trucks and the broader commercial vehicle industry.

A Strategic Partnership with Proven Impact

Mandla Ndhlovu, Technical Academy Manager for Renault Trucks UK and Ireland, reflected on the success of the partnership so far:

“From the very start of our apprentice programme tender process, choosing GTG Training was a clear and easy decision.

Over the past eight months, the benefits to our apprentices—and to the Renault Trucks brand—have been outstanding. From recruitment and safeguarding to the quality of training and customer relationships, GTG has delivered on every front.”
