I can personally recommend Hughes driver training near to you, I did 1&2 with them. Tbh, where you’re training, you’re kneecapping yourself. Brum is very hard, have you thought about Pete? Nice small countryside town?
Given I did my class 2 and 1 at Petes and work in Brum - both very much in the city centre and slightly further out I am a bit of an expert in this subject - and everyone giving this advice is spot on!
I’ve done central London - including a drop on Oxford street with no entrance at the back. I’ve done building sites in central Manchester. And I can assure everyone that Brum is one of the most horrible and difficult places to drive a truck. Even a rigid can be a nightmare.
Go to Pete’s school and get it done. You will find it easier. And by the sounds of it, you will have a much much nicer experience.
