Think the government do a scheme, Skill wise or something but I think they’re hard to get. I paid for mine but I believe some places do pay monthly

Did mine with the government national skills fund, glad I didn’t pay for it as you can’t get work unless you want to earn less than a Tesco food delivery driver with a 3.5t!

I tried to get on the government scheme but there was no places on the class 1 anywhere. I ended up paying for it myself.

I gained mine through the skills boot camp last year, started in feb 22 and by 24th June 22 I passed. Think I was one of the lucky ones to get the funding for this as I think now they not funding a-lot as I have a friend who applied for it through the same training company as me and they told him no spaces left

When stuff is free it devalues the product. So expect low wages being offered. It also encourages people that would not normally do it to apply. Further flooding the market which results in still further lower wages.
