Hello everyone, I’m new to this forums, lucky found it and seem very useful
Note: I’m Profoundly Deaf, so don’t take too serious with my English or grammar, Im trying my best
As I’ve contact most of company who do HGV training and found one who have taught Deaf person before and provide me 1 on 1 on course, (Training and CPC training etc)
£2,395 for this course, Doesn’t seem right to me but is it normal?
What package are included for £2,395?
-The Medical Forms
-The Provisional Forms
-The online training facility for the theory test
-The theory test itself
-The practical training course
-The practical test
-The CPC online Mod 2 training
-The CPC Mod 2 test
-The CPC Mod 4 Training (one on one)
-The CPC Mod 4 Test
-The Pass Protection (2 Extra attempts)
Rip off, or just little over-priced? I do know this company is big so i know price will be a little higher but £2,400?

I emailed them to ask Will i be doing my practical training courses in Liverpool and “The Medical Forms” Is that including medical fee?
Replied with
"You go to your local GP for the medical. He/she may charge you.
Yes we have a school in Liverpool.
Kind Regards,"
Of course they do - that is their game
If you went directly to the same school you will probably find that for exactly the same money you get one training day more by going direct because that is a common broker trick …
Broker - we can get you a LGV course for £1000
School - we can get you a LGV course for £1000
Ask how many days and then you find out its 4 days with the broker but 5 days with the school
Never pay any money to anybody until you actually go and visit the school and have a face to face discussion
The other thing is how many training days do you actually need? - only taking an assessment will determine that and no broker will ever do that because that would mean revealing who they deal with and they know you will call them to get the direct price etc
Examiners have a simple code of instructions and we use identical ones during training for obvious reasons.
If the OP would like to contact me he will get rather more than a medical form!!
Out of interest, I also trained some blokes from the Mansfield Deaf Club to ride big motorbikes. All first time pass again.
If the OP wants to stay near Liverpool, he should try John, Chevron Training, Flint. He is very good but I have no idea if he has experience in training the deaf.
As stated Chevron is your best option if being local is important.
Regarding the price we can provide everything you said was included plus B&B accommodation in Essex for £1549. For the price you mentioned we can include C+E training and test as well. Both courses would include unlimited retest training excl test fees.
Like others on here I have experience training deaf candidates. There is no problems with examiners and deaf candidates either.
If i could i would just go head with them but i don’t have the moeny to pay full price but i’ve been approved to train now and pay later, I plan to pay it off once i got my job as driver.
I’d say save then pay, stay clear of brokers and don’t get into debt to pay for your training. I bet there will be stupid APR. Sometimes you have to travel a bit to get the training you require at a reasonable price. Their is a good one in Stockport(manchester) which I used and found very good. Family run business of 35 years and Manchester isn’t that far from Liverpool

If you already have a guaranteed permanent job after passing then fine for doing it on credit but I would explore all other types of credit options before accepting theirs
Please please please take note of all of these posts they all say stay away from the brokers , we are not saying this to be awkward or anything like that , a lot of people on here have experience of brokers , myself included , believe me if I had found this forum before booking my training I would have saved myself a lot of heartache , these brokers are scum and will rip you off , you are going to spend a lot of money getting your licences and need to know you will get what you pay for , when they next call you just tell them not to call anymore you have decided not to go ahead with them then just do a little leg work and visit the training companies themselves , meet the trainers see the lorries they use , would you buy a car without seeing it or test driving it first , you came on here for advice and we are giving it please dont use the brokers
