Retraining advice

Truckertony:
Hello all. I am a 55yr old who is looking to retrain as a HGV driver.
I am based in the Wigan/Manchester area and have been looking at Red Rose, Ben Hughes as potential options. I just wondered if anyone has any experience of these or other training schools in this area.
I am looking at around £1800 for a package to get my Cat C along with driver CPC etc. I would appreciate any advice/thoughts on the subject.
Thanks a lot. Tony.

XPO have an apprentice scheme .Check their website .They are looking for Leigh trainees.Give it a go wont cost you a penny
