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:
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.
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?

Many folks have not even driven a Luton. So don’t worry. 16 hours minimum behind the wheel
Upfront payment to get this deal. Can use a credit card.
Hope this helps; let me know if any further queries.
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.
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.

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.
Peter Smythe:
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
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!
