I’m looking to get my lgv cat c and c/e, I live in Manchester. I’ve seen Enterprise Lgv about a bit and also noticed it’s listed on this forum as a decen training provider. I wanted to know if anyone on here has ever used them and if they’re any good. I’d also like to know when I get my cat c c/e will it entitle me to drive c1 c1/e?
Absolutely. Our normal course is 14 hours 1:1. As Rog quite rightly says, it depends on the ability of both trainee and trainer. We have problems extremely rarely where a candidate just isn’t ready for test - - around every 2 years this happens. Other factors that can drastically cut training time include the trainer having their own reversing area and test centre (no travelling backwards and forwards to a DSA centre) and, very importantly, the standard of vehicle. We have an alarming number of folk come to us to have trained elsewhere and wrestled with knackered gearboxes and generally poorly maintained trucks. Clearly, running a fleet of new vehicles eliminates these issues.
I would strongly suggest you book assessment drives before you book anywhere. If you struggle with the vehicle, try another one. Don’t be fooled into believing that all trucks are the same - - they are not.
