I am getting to the point of boredom with all the people asking about the cost of training such as :-
Is £1900 for three days training etc etc.
Surely if it were to cost £3000 it would be cost effective due to the money you get paid for driving. I paid £1200 for my class 2 years ago and I made that back with interest in the first year.
No other job has such sn amazing office window with such variety and sweet shop like choices.
If you worked for an agency when you first pass then your range of vehicles and types of work is limitless and only bordered by your own personal satisfaction.
Congratulations to all those who pass and stay safe on and off the roads.

The cost of training is excellent value for money considering what is included etc. I've just passed my class 2 and I've also paid for my class 1, but what people don't realize is, most training organizations will offer finance to get you through the training. I would recommend paying for both considering the benefits of the money that can be earned whilst driving.

You got to look at it from 2 sides. Yes, you’ll earn the money back but some people have probably saved for months trying to change their job to provide better for their family, so to them, maybe they want to get the cheapest option as the leftover money would be beneficial elsewhere

I bought book to prepare for theory test and started reading 3pm till 2pm. I read whole book. My test was booked at 10am so I got few hours sleep only. Got 89 marks. I'd suggest you to buy the book as well and I think it's easy to learn from book but it's up to you mate. Good luck

Part funded mine upto Theory/Hazard tests etc. then a company took me on as a trainee for HGV CE. have signed a 2 year training agreement for £2600 which decreases 1 24th per month. Over space of 2 weeks. 1st time test passes all in 4 1/2 days training . literally 2 hours in the Class C which was too similar to my 7.5t I had been driving for 15 years. Worthwhile Yes. Long hours 2 nights away resulted in Weekly take home pay of £713. 4 Nights out + bonus 1 making it 5 took home £770. a bit of a step up from taking home just over £2k a month previously unless did mega hours then may have took £2400 home.
