As I understand Eddie only do training at certain places not all of them so you would have to travel & stay over
Thats right. They have training schools at Crick and Warrington. Although I live in Northumberland I did mine at Crick because my wife was able to visit her elderly parents, who live relatively close to there, while I was driving.
I understand that Fowler Welch in Washington do an apprentice driver scheme. They may be worth a call.
