How long from start to finish to obtain class 3?

hi rob how many attempts did u have before u passed ?,did u do the mod 2 and 4 with them ?,did u find work easier enough afterwords ?

It took me four attempts. I wouldn’t let this put you off, as I saw loads of people walk in and out with first time passes whilst I was there. There are always some people that struggle, sadly I was one of them and I was very much of a minority… I struggled with my concentration under the pressure of the test and just made daft errors, it wasn’t that the insructor didn’t teach me to a high enough standard. I also quite liked how they use ‘proper size’ Cat C vehicles, as a lot of the vehicles being used by some other traning companies at the test centre just looked really small.

As far as Mods 2 and 4 go… Mod 2 is basically just a study and revise excercise, they will either provide you with a book or will set you up on a website full of practice questions (I recommend this). As for Mod 4, one of the owners has written their own course for it that was really interesting as it was so in depth… made the test pretty straight forward.

Not got work yet but I only passed recently… work in progress!

One bit of advice… before you go for lessons take a look in the highway code, and brush up on your knowledge of how to negotiate roundabouts etc. You don’t want to be wasting time on your lessons trying to re-master basics.
