Hi all, first just wanted to say that I have been looking through your forum and think that it is excellent. You have so much information on here for people starting their driving careers and have answered so many questions already just reading the posts. Keep up the brilliant work!!
Ok, down to business. I am going to be going for my Class 2 license soon. I intend to do it in a block course (5 days). My question is which training provider to go with. I live near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. Was initially going to go with L&T as I saw a bit of what they do on that HGV series on TV a while ago and their prices seem reasonable, but going to Pontefract every day seems a bit daft when there are a few schools round my end. I called a firm called Emms - they are a hauliage firm as well as a driving firm, near Doncaster. They dont charge a set cost but rather by the hour (£70 for a 2 hour lesson), would be doing about 4 hours a day etc. I have now found a guy called Barry Radley. He’s pretty close to me and the cheapest at around £670 for a five day course.
Has anyone trained with him or know of anyone who has. It’s important for me to find the best available because it has taken me ages to save this much money and would really like to pass first time
. Any info anyone could give me would really help.
Also can anyone tell me what STS are like - have seen them mentioned on here, what do they charge■■? They certainly seem to put you through alot of driving time, which can only be good!!
Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you all.
