J Coates (HGV Services) Ltd can offer 0% finance, we train round Birmingham and test out of Garretts Green numerous times a week. Obviously it's not free but it doesn't tie you to an employer either.

I’ve finished my course through systems group too. Just waiting for my provisional to come so I can do my theory and hazard perception and get to doing the practical training. All funded by the government. It’s been a good course and training company

i already passed my class 2, was on this course to upgrade to
c & e, was making me go round in circles. All i needed was a training and practical date. Making me go through the course as i only had my class b licence. Even after telling them on many occasions.
Finally have passed my class c & e with 3 minors.
All the best to u

My friend was told end of April that he will be getting dates for his theory hazard perception test. 10 days later he fones them up to ask how come he hasn’t received any dates. Only to be told his test was 2 days ago. 🤦
Really bad communication. And now he cant get through to them
