Not really looked at the ins and outs of what has been offered recently, but just read this advert which makes it sound like you donate 16 weeks of your time to get trained then get paid.
I hope its just been badly worded or whoever wrote the advert didn’t understand the deal??
I guess you can only access it if you’re on universal credit or other benefits & you continue receiving these whilst training. Seems a bit ott to be honest what are they gonna yeah you for 16 weeks? 1 week training before test (straight to class 1) a couple more weeks after passing test with another driver to learn the ropes, then they get a free driver for the remaining 12 weeks or so! 
It all makes perfect sense when you see the words GXO Logistics at the top of the page. It’s just XPO’s attempt at polishing a turd.
I’m trying to think of someone I know that I like the least so I can send them the link.
‘‘you will not be paid during the training period’’ They might be on dodgy ground trying to get their money back if you decided to leave them after you qualified 
" you will not be paid for 16 weeks"
“No more than 6 points”
I don’t know who is the more desperate party in this alliance…
its the gov boot camp i have seen adverts for other xpo branches. You have to do so many hours of guided learning before you can take your lessons. I think if you go on this thing via a company they company have to pay a percentage.
Come on lads. They do offer a cycle to work scheme.

And at our depot they’ve just installed free to use EV chargers.
The only problem is, they park trailers in front of them… lol

Possibly needing a little trailer to tow behind loaded with their cab contents and supplies for the week

Not quite, I understand you have to do a “Level 2 Certificate in Driving Goods Vehicles”, whatever that might be So you’ll be in some kind of classroom situation for some of the time
And I wouldn’t automatically assume car-to-artic will be a one week (five day) course, the Bootcamp Providers won’t be the ones doing the truck training, that part will be outsourced to a regular truck training provider. I know of at least one who makes candidates go through a training simulator before they get anywhere near a real vehicle, and I can see good reasons why they would do that with some people.
Here’s some blurb from one of these bootcamp providers, starts to look a lot less appealing when you stop to think about it.
The AEB qualifications in HGV driving are made up of 150 learning hours. The length of time it will take to deliver this training will depend on your local provider and your own personal circumstances.
The five Level 2 certificates currently available in driving goods vehicles schools are:
Highfield Level 2 Certificate in Driving Goods Vehicles
ProQual Level 2 Certificate in Driving Goods Vehicles
Pearson Edexcel Level Certificate in Driving Goods Vehicles
ICQ Level 2 Certificate in Driving Goods Vehicles
SQA Level 2 Certificate in Driving Goods Vehicles
If I were a young man without much in the way of academic qualifications I would be all over this. I assume that you would still get what ever benefits you were on whilst trying to make yourself employable.
