Many folks still don’t realise that the only qualification legally required to call themselves an instructor is to hold the licence for 3 years. Don’t even need to use it.
This means we have disillusioned lorry drivers, with varying experience, seeking an easier life calling themselves instructors.
So it behoves the candidate to be thorough with the homework. The offerings range from the hypothetical guy above, compete with rusty old lorry that’s been to the moon and back, parked in the corner of someone else’s yard and travelling to goodness knows where to practice reversing. On the other hand, folks like us are fully trained, registered and qualified. We run trucks bought new with training in mind. We have our own reversing area on site which is also part of our own test centre.
O yes, we might be a bit dearer (but not always) but you get what you pay for in this particular case.
Folks should book only on the strongest recommendation. Any queries about us, ask for comments from older forum users.
All the best, Pete
