Hello mate.
I’m taking my exams tomorrow and bought the whole Shibang from eos a couple of months back. I also managed to get on a 2 and a half week long classroom course running up to today.
I spent a good couple of months with my head in the home study book. And it did really help, but getting on a course in a classroom does wonders. Because you can talk through certain things and get stuff cleared up much easier, it’s not all about trucks and drivers hours, its financial conduct, business tax, vehicle costings, driver scheduling. All of this can be learnt but it’s much easier when you can talk it through, I’m feeling confident for my tests.
If you do buy the home study it won’t be a waste of money, although I now have two because I got another folder on day one of the course lol. Just make sure that you buy the notes once they have been updated, as eos waits for the exam to pass then updates the folder with any changes in exchange rates or legislation in preparation for the next exams
Good luck
