Dean's C+E Diary - Peter Smythe Training

Good to hear you passed Dean. Congratulations and well done. All the best in nailing a CE job. :slight_smile:

Well done Dean, it really is worth all the effort. If it’s any encouragement for the future it looks like I’ve got my first shot at some weekend work just a week after passing! It can be done so keep positive!

Was thinking about you & test today & was hoping pleased you passed well done :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Seriously considering knocking it on the head as I am out of money and don’t know if I will ever get it right.

Bet you are glad you gave it another go aren’t you, congratulations on a well deserved pass :slight_smile:

Fair point.

It was certainly a roller coaster ride of emotions but glad I am out the other side with a pass :slight_smile:

I’ll put my own up then lol.

Still smiling :slight_smile:

Hi dar1976,

I’ll be happy to help. :smiley:

bloody nice one

Well done Dean! You stuck at it after a couple of setbacks which might have put others off. Perseverance was the key!

Thanks. It certainly was worth it. The smile has not vacated my face :wink:

Got license back today a day short of 2 weeks from examiner sending it off.

Shame it still has the points on (they are due to be removed 2nd week January).

Guess I will have to send it back again in January. Oh well.

It’s real. I really have a CE license. Still can’t quite believe it.

Good luck to all trainees this week

Well I have taken the plunge and booked my Class 1 training. Spoke to Peter today and am booked onto the Guaranteed Pass Scheme.

As many of you know Peter is recovering from his operation and will be back to work in October so I will be taking the first course on offer after he returns - October 2nd with 1st and hopefully only test on 6th.

I had my reservations for training with Wag and Drag but believe that Peter will give me the best broad training to cope with driving articulated vehicles no matter where the articulation point is.

I will take up a half day of local training to convert my knowledge to Artic reversing and coupling.

I hope that this will be a success for Peter and his School.

So 6 weeks and counting.

Dean

Good luck mate hope it all goes well. I also have my trailer test on the same week, fingers crossed it will be smiles around at the end :smiley:

Good Luck to us both then.

Hoping for good results all round
