Wannabe driver in need of clear answer

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)

Hi everyone, Right, i’ve looked around the forum, I’ve had a read of the sticky’s but i’m still not 100% sure

I’m after getting C+E on my driving licence, I’ve phoned 3 different “driving schools” / “Driver training places” I’ve been told 3 different things and been told it will cost 3 different prices, with all most £2300 difference from highest to lowest.

I passed my driving test in 1993, I have C1+E on licence and would really like to know what the steps from here to C+E are and what i should expect to pay.

I presume the first thing i need is a medical and provisional entitlement, then where?

also are there any handy tips to keeping the costs down.

I realise this question will of been answered a million times before, but i am still confused.

Many thanks
Dan

hi i have just passed my cat c first time today cost me £715 for 20hrs and test was included. my instructor said it would cost £815 for C+E for 20hrs but could be less as he does an initial drive to acess how many hours you need. he is based in hindley green and i would recomend him highly as he is a top instructor. need any info pm me.

You are allowed to name the company on here - that’s how I got all those in the recommended by members list :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Advertising by those that work for training companies is not allowed without permission (site rules)

Did you do the initial driver cpc or were you exempt perhaps by having a C1 on your licence already :question:

THE DRIVER SHORTAGE IS AN ADVERTISING MYTH - Generally more drivers than jobs in the UK
However, many newbies on this site have recently secured permanent full time employment :smiley:
