Im part way through doing my theory tests and starting to look around at getting my C training booked, just wondering if there are any companies to avoid and who the better ones are and people recommend?
I am in Kings Lynn, so would condiser any in Norfolk, Cambs or Lincs.
so far got Boston LGV, East coast driver training (seem very cheap), NTS and thetford transport training on my list.
Any recomendations of who people have passed with? 
Have a look at the link then if you can go & visit the provider you are interested in to have a talk & look round but dont always go for the cheapest go for who you think is going to be best for you ( who will get you through the test )
Ask them to print a break down of the price they have quote you
Priestley LGV ( not far from Long Sutton) comes highly recommended by the PDA.

East cost are cheap because they donāt charge vat. And you only get 2 days plus test. They donāt adjust it for you. And the rigid vehicle is tiny and over powered. Julia was very kind in giving me info but I went with peeks in the end, spent more money but got a course tailored to my needs.
See If you can get an assessment lesson so you can see if you get on with the instructor, and they can see how many days you need.
Good luck. I remember my training being great fun being in control of a behemoth.
thanks for replys, keep them coming!
Priestly look a good option as there close to me and test in peterborough, anybody been with them??
thanks saxmachine for advice on east coast, rather have a course that suits me than one that suits the training company
I did my C through East Coast and they couldnāt have been more helpful. I had 2 full days and a couple of hours before the test too. Ā£815 I think including the test fee. They fitted the days around me at the last minute. Also given the option of doing it over 4 days and sharing the time with another learner.

My other half did his training with Priestleys after failing three times before with other schools,
Theyāre extremely good for pre test nerves

Have also heard good reports about Priestley LGV - who ever you use check how much driving you actually do - I would recommmend one to one tuition - could never see the point in watching another learners mistakes - good luck whoever you choose

Hi ruffgti, 
Priestley LGV are on the TN list of recommended LGV training providers, so at least one TN member has trained with them in the past and then left a recommendation.
You can check them out by clicking this link:

If you decide to train with them, please pass my regards to the office lady and the instructor.
I hope this helps.
Hi ya, I Passed my C+E first time with East coast driver training and they are A+ and the best in the area, You get a first class service an I highly recommend them to everyone that asks.
Pop in and see a fewā¦a visit will give you a chance to see the company and perhaps the vehicles. Some good companies have been mentioned in this post. You should be fine. Enjoy aand let us know how you get on?

I went with East Coast driver after being recommened by a mate and its the best thing I did, not only did I get a cheap deal with no VAT, They tailered the days to help me with work and got a a+ service with 2 full days driving and a few hours befor my test,witch was more than enough with one to one driving time.

Hi Bigdave,
Iāve just added http://www.eastcoastdrivertraining.co.uk/ to the TN list of recommended LGV training providers, so Iād like to say āthanksā to you and PilotWolf for the tip.
thanks for all the replys lots of good advice,
Got a few companies to look into and iāl definately be giving Priestly a call as they seem the closest to Lynn
Has anyone used Thetford transport training or Boston training? any good or bad reportsā ā ?
Iām another satisfied customer of East Coast Driver Training too, as I passed my cat C yesterday with them.
I had an assessment drive with them before I booked my course and after an hours drive, I was happy to book with them. When it came to the first day of my course, I was suprised to find a different instructor waiting for me. Maybe I should have asked if I would have the same instructor for my course? I wasnāt dissapointed, just suprised.
Anyway, they come highly recommended by me and I will be going back for C+E as soon as I have the money.

I have given up driver training now after 7 years (for a quieter life), but even though Iām no longer at Boston LGV, I would say that they have the best success rate of all trainers in Peterborough, and are well worth checking out.
It is always worth visiting several companies, checking out their vehicles and staff and making your own mind up. Also bear in mind that a lot of companies are ācreativeā with their pass rates as there is no way of actually checking them. If you are not sure, hang around the tea bar in Peterborough opposite the test centre that Instructors use and ask questions.
