Well, it looks like i’ll have to fork out for my cpc.
Anyone got knowledge of prices etc. Much appreciated.
I use a training firm in Scarborough and its £56+vat per 7 hour session. I suspect the price will vary significantly from region to region. There are 2 firms in Beverley (E.Yorks) and one is charging £86 per 7 hours and the other is £102 per 7 hours.

I’ve been quoted £880 for 35 hours credit including a full hazchem (ADR with tankers) package.
Bearing in mind that this is from a firm independent of agency interests (where a firm might happily take your money with false promises) I reckon this isn’t too unreasonable.
It’s the same firm where I did my own C+E back in 1991 btw, so they’ve been around for a while too. 
I’m assuming of course that one is actually wanting to learn some new skills here, rather than just pay some money to get some hours credit which you then get by turning up, and going to sleep in the front row in the classroom… 
Depends what you want
If you just want 35 hours under your belt then find the cheapest 7 hour course in your area and do it 5 times
I’ll be completing mine this weekend, my fifth 7hr day with EAUKDS Ltd of Trowbridge. £54 per 7hr session inclusive of VAT and Upload Fee. Lunch thrown in, tea ans coffee and a good atmosphere and training centre.

Do you mind me asking who you did your cpc with as I’ve got the full 35 hours to do before next September. Cheers
If you live in the London/Home Counties area, TFL are doing a cycle awareness course, totally boring and a Boris media hype, but it’s
FREE 
Do it 5 times and the CPC is YOURS
Boss is paying mine but I have to do it on my Saturday off(unpaid) not unreasonable I think and he’s paying £85 all in this is in Hampshire

Sleep! Now I know the rules for doing these course, as in you have to attend, and since its a non written course, is there anything in law to say you can’t fall asleep whilst you are attending these DCPC courses? Obviously you may want waking up for a coffee, light lunch!

(from the ad)
“You must also live not in Cornwall, Devon or Somerset and be at least 60 miles from Taunton. The grant is £100.00 from the full normal price.”
Is it me, or does this sound like a spiv for whom English is not their first language?
Four shalt thou not count, neither countest thou two. Five is right out.
Imagin doing 35 hours in the one week, I’d being ready for topping myself at the end of it.

According to the latest output from the DfT it is not working time unless the driver gets paid the time for doing it
Where the company pays for the course but not the time, the authorities have not addressed that issue as far as I know
We must be lucky in the North East (if you can call it lucky doing DCPC 
)
There are 2-3 companies that only charge £225 - £250 all in. The most expensive I have seen is £146 for one module, but that was down south

Thanks for that I’d be a bit annoyed loosing a sat pay the following week because I needed that off as well for me fortnightly rest.
