Hi Steve, noticed you said you’re in Glasgow. Have you applied for SDS ITA? Gives you £200 grant towards a training course which doesn’t have to be paid back. Training has to be through an approved training centre though. I’m booking my training through GTG Training in Edinburgh but they have a training centre in Glasgow too.
I’ve already got my provisional and theory tests done. The cost of the 5 days training which includes practical test fees and DCPC module and test is £1427 so with the training funding that brings it down to £1227.
