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 .....

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.

[Peter Smythe]

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!

Pete

[SUFCMark]

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

[Peter Smythe]

Absolutely possible. I've checked with the office and there is availability Sat/Sun 30th and 31st March with test April 1st at either 0840 or 1020. Your choice.

If you would like those dates, please call the office 07759 239091 before they disappear!

Hope this helps, Pete

[ROG]

with test April 1st at either 0840 or 1020.

HMMMM...... The morning of APRIL 1ST ..... HMMMM ........

[Peter Smythe]

I wondered how long it would take haha!

It's just another day in my book. Another day for folks to pass their tests YEAH.

Pete

[Peter Smythe]

Update: plenty of availability through March.

This silly offer wont last forever so don't miss out! Lowest prices I know of in the Sheffield area.

Pete

[Peter Smythe]

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.

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

The boring bits:
Training vehicle is 64 plate high spec DAF XF auto

How comes no, manual option .
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

[Peter Smythe]

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!

Pete

[Peter Smythe]

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.

Pete

[Peter Smythe]

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.

Pete

[adammur]

So should i book with your company or this one?

Was looking at booking C and E with your company Peter but this other company is £400 cheaper

[Peter Smythe]

These are the main differences:

DST
Drawbar only
No beautiful operating centre
Training all day
Test at Watnall, Nottingham
Accommodation not provided (but is available locally at reasonable cost)
Mod 4 FOC
CAT C £1050, CE £1050 or £2000 for the two.

PST
Choice of full size artic or drawbar
Purpose built training centre
Training in sessions of 3.5hrs as standard. Longer can be arranged
Test on site at training centre
Accommodation provided FOC if you live more than 70 miles from NG17 3FW
Pass Protection if required
Mod 4 £300
CAT C £1260, CE £1395

IN COMMON
Same instructors
Same reversing area
Same level of admin support

MY ADVICE
If you can live with drawbar, then DST is a clear winner. But even then you can use the DST service and then book an artic conversion course (£300) with PST to follow.
Next advice is to get it sorted before March 1st. The price increase will be significant. The only reason it is so low at the moment is that we purchased the school with zero work and, as we have overheads to sustain, it's best to work for pennies than not work at all! But the situation is changing now so the silliness will end.

Hope this helps but please come back to me with any queries you may have.

Asking for a friend who only needs a C without any CPC modules (private horsebox only) what kind of cost is she looking at, how long a course and where would the training be? She is in Rugby.
Thanks

Thanks

Forum provider at either of their places
DATA academy leicester - near to M1/M69 junction
There are also many recommended places around northants in the members list - see link in my signature below

For the C training is it likely to be over 5 consecutive days with a cost about £1000 to £1200

Will she be driving A C1 or C horsebox

Cheers, probably only 7.5T (passed car test a year after cut off) but thinking for the cost difference she may as well do class 2 and be able to drive both.

[Peter Smythe]

C @ DST Dronfield £1050 (incl Mod 4 though it's not needed)
C @ PST Sutton £1260 (incl free accommodation)
C1 @ PST Sutton £810 (incl free accomodation)


Hope this helps, Pete

[Peter Smythe]

UPDATE

Just come out of the meeting and can give the heads up for the change in offer.

As predicted, the prices are increasing but there's extra stuff being included.

So this is how it looks from Monday:

CAT C £1260
CAT CE £1395

1 FREE RETEST ON EACH COURSE
FREE ACCOMMODATION FOR THE DURATION OF THE COURSE

You still have until close of play this Friday to book at the daft rate of £1050 for C or CE. OR pay for the 2 courses together for just £2000. (And get MOD 4 free of charge)

Hope this helps. You can use the main number - 01623 555661 but please quote Trucknet Dronfield Offer.

Any questions, Pete

[enzo]

With PST purchasing DST does the association with Sports Direct continue?

DST website mentions an offer of work after passing which will help get out of the no experience trap ??

Cheers

[Peter Smythe]

Sports Direct are excellent for giving new drivers a start. Hours are often too long for some but others stay for years so cant be all bad! It's impossible to guarantee a job but shall we say that passing with us wont do you any harm!
