Update: getting interest in the offer but still plenty of availability.

You may well regret it if you don't consider the offer!

How many days will i need to take off for Class 2 training and test. And will they be done together? If i got Class 2 and C+E package will i be able to do it back to back, and how many days would I need off for then. Any cheap B&B near you?

Usually 5 days but some can do it sat+sun with test on mon
As for back to back .....
Peter Smythe wrote:Under no circumstances is it physically possible to do the courses "back to back" as most brokers would have you believe. Reason is that your licence has to be updated by DVLA and this will include your CE provisional. It is prudent to allow 4 weeks though it sometimes happens in half that time.

ROG has answered already, but just to confirm, the Class 2 and test is 5 days and the test is always arranged to be at the end of the training.

Having passed C, the licence has to be upgraded so we err on the side of caution and allow 4 weeks.

We can put you in touch with B&B.

Hope this helps; fire away with any more queries.

So these prices above £1050 Class 2 or £2000 both include the CPC?
What about medical? should i sort that out myself with my GP?
I live up Lancashire, biggest vehicle I have driven is a Luton Van? I am a good learner....but don't know if 2 days will be enough, how many hours training do you offer?
The above prices are they if you pay all upfront or is there an installment facility?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Had some feedback from some folks not liking the prospect of 2:1 training. So we're happy to provide 1:1 training. 2 x 8 hour days with test on day 3. 2:1 still available for those who would prefer it.

The offer wont last for ever so fill ya boots!

Great offer Pete, I'm looking to get my C+E - can this be done over 2 days with test on day 3?

If so, do you have any April availability over a weekend with Mon test?

Cheers, Mark

Just to let you all know that the offer wont last forever. So don't miss out. Call 07759 239091 in office hours and secure your dates.

CAT C £1050. 1:1 training. Fully trained, qualified and NVDIR reg instructor. Use of DVSA approved reverse area. Weekends no extra cost. MOD 4 FREE OF CHARGE

CAT CE £1050. All as above.

Top spec DAF XF.

Book the two courses for £2,000.

All prices fully inclusive of training, test fee, use of vehicle for test and VAT.

Full support from the Peter Smythe Training customer care team.

Why is the price so low? Simple. We've purchased Darren Shaw Training with very little work. So we need to kick start the diary. So this is your opportunity to take advantage. Once it gets busy, the offer will end.

Call 07759 239091 office hours.

Good luck all, Pete :lol: :lol:

I know a fair percentage of trucks are now auto, but wouldn't learning in a 3 pedal with a stick be better.

WHY :?:

You can only learn in one type of manual or auto out of many different ones so whatever you train in makes no difference therefore you may as well train in the easiest possible

Postby Peter Smythe » Tue Feb 12, 2019 5:45 pm

As ROG said. It takes longer to learn in a manual - we've reduced our training courses by at least 4 hours as a result of not having manual boxes. It's our policy to make life as comfortable as possible for the candidate and this is just confirmation of that. Why make life hard and put extra obstacles in the way?

I learned on a 4 speed crash box. And no-one ever showed me how to use any of the wonderful gearboxes I encountered over the years! None of it is rocket science but a false move on a test could make the difference between pass and fail. So why risk it? I managed and I believe that, given a modicum of common sense, so can anyone else.

Just to add, there was no such thing as Google then either haha!

This offer will be withdrawn soon - - probably one day during the coming week.

It will be replaced with another, but it wont be as favourable as the current offer. So don't miss out!

Thanks to everyone who has supported us and taken advantage of this great deal.

Postby Peter Smythe » Mon Feb 18, 2019 8:58 am

To answer some enquiries, I can tell you that the offer WILL end at 4.30pm on Friday 1st March.

Minor change to the terms: we will accept £200 deposit on each course with the balance payable 2 weeks before start of training. So if you want just C or CE, £200 on booking and £850 2 weeks before start of training. If you want C AND CE then it's £400 on booking with £1600 due 2 weeks before the start of the C course.

Training on 1:1 over full days. eg All day Monday, Tuesday with test on Wednesday. OR All day Sat, Sun with test Monday or any other similar pattern.

Prices will definitely increase when this great offer ends. Dont miss out!

Happy to answer any questions by pm or on the thread. For availability and bookings, please call 07759 239091 during office hours.
