Hi all…I have decided that i would like to try for my C1 class license but as i am completely new to this type of work i was wondering if anybody can recomend any training companies in and around the Barnsley/Doncaster area that can help me complete the full works (written tests, medical, practical tests etc…). I have read many posts and understand that it will probably cost around 1 thousand give or take a little but as i am not mechanically minded and never done this before, will i be wasteing my dollars?
What are you doing now and what do you know about the job
When did you pass your car test? Going by “Dave1973” if you passed before 1997 you’ll have C1 anyway…

I’m currently working in a dead end warehouse job…as i said i will be going into this training/work as a complete novice. I have a little experience driving a 7.5 ton wagon but that was a few years ago.

It was in 1997…looking on my license theres a line through the “C1” option, i’m guessing this means i’m not able to drive this size vehicle without further training (not that i would be comfortable just jumping in a cab and driving off without proper training).
So you don’t have your class C if not your costs will be nearer £3000 but others will tell you better about that.

Yikes MAC!!!
why go for LGV C1 when LGV C is an option because you can skip C1 and go for C with a current B licence
Got manual B licence then go for C auto then C+E auto and they come back from DVLA as manuals
Recommend to have £3k handy if going from B through to C+E

I Think C+E is something for the future ROG, but this going for LGV C is definately an option i’m willing to go down. I’ve never joined a forum before so these “stickies” and other words are a bit new to me…but i’m getting there, thanks for your help pal.
Are you saying apply for a LGV C AUTO with the DVLA and they come back as you can drive manuals?

Providing you passed your Car (B) in a manual then yes

Good price
I always recommend having enough for a couple of retests just in case which is why I said £3k handy to go from B to C+E
the extra cost of the mod 4 can bump up the cost by 2 or 3 hundred quid unless you can get that done during the practical on-road training
