Advice on Govt funding for HGV license

bobafatt:
Hello,

I have recently passed my theory, Hazard and CPC tests and am now looking to start the practical side ASAP.

I am currently in full time employment and have been in contact with a local company in South Wales where they are offering the full practical package for around £2400.

Before i go ahead and use my own finances, is there any advice on here anyone can give on how i can apply for a government grant or whether there is such a thing?

I have been on the government website and found a few companies which offer various boot camps but I’m not sure if this will apply to me as I’m already in employment.

Thanks for reading.

Hello and welcome to the forum. I don’t know if you will qualify, but I know that Bridgend college are currently offering free training at www1.bridgend.ac.uk/course/lgv-training/

I signed up just before Christmas and they offered me a slot, but I was already booked in with PSTT, so I stuck with them as the offered dates were unsuitable for me anyway.

Hope it helps!
