Well done on passing your C + E Ruddio. I passed my CLASS 2 in December 2008, so I need to get my finger out and go attempt my C + E training and test too.

I passed my C with 3 minors on a “four over four” gear stick. Found it fairly good. I am not sure what I will be facing when I do decide to take my C + E.

Can I ask what company you used to take your test and an approximate figure you paid, if you don’t mind. I will understand if you don’t want to say.

I am in Glasgow, and I am toying with a few companies at the moment. I have recently been priced at around £700 for 5 day training with test on the 5th day. I thought that to be pretty reasonable. That was quoted through GTG training.

I suppose I now to decide what to do next. I guess the hardest part (apart from the passing), is finding a job and a company who will take someone on with little or no experience. That is my biggest concern.

Anyways, congrats again, and hopefully I will follow suit in due course.

Neil.

It does seem a good price :smiley:
ARTIC or W&D ■■? - both act differently and most CEs on UK roads are ARTIC

I guess the hardest part (apart from the passing), is finding a job and a company who will take someone on with little or no experience. That is my biggest concern.

Many thanks ROG. Useful advice. I am sure I will try to move ahead in the next month or so, and look to achieve my C + E licence.

Thanks again.
