GENERAL DRIVING TIPS BEFORE STARTING LGV C TRAINING (Link)
If you click the link in my signature or these truck pics
it will lead you to an index where you can access a lot more info which may be of use to you
BEFORE you book your training, READ THIS… - I suggest the trainee-to-be visits the training school, meets the head person(s) and has a quick look at the truck BEFORE parting with any money.
Recommended LGV training schools
THE DRIVER SHORTAGE IS AN ADVERTISING MYTH - Generally more drivers than jobs in the UK
Newbies - Jobs, Agencies & EXPERIENCE & Is this country short of drivers ?

WELL DONE ON PASSING YOUR THEORY
Thanks ROG
I have found THREE pages of LGV training schools listed in YELL.COM SEARCH all are within 25 miles of your location.
If I had the choice of where to test then my personal choice would be the WEEDON Northants LGV test station.

Hi drake22, 
And…
CONGRATULATIONS on passing your LGV theory test
ROG is the man to answer your question though…
Good luck with your LGV driver training.
I would try J Coates in Coventry I passed with them a few years back.
Good instructors and good trucks
Hello and welcome to the forums. 
Congrats on your theory pass, that’s one step closer to getting that licence.
ROG, would I be correct in saying that Weedon has a lower pass rate than Leicester?

Overall LGV pass rates: -
Leicester 44.3%
Weedon 45.0%
Ta for that, my mistake, a marginally better chance in Weedon then.
Thanks for the welcome guys.
Ive been speaking to a few companies this week, im going to try and get an assessment sorted for next week. Im quite looking forward to driving a truck, but i bet i wont be as confident when im actually sitting in one.

Good move - talk to lots

Yet another good move - if any offer free asessments - take them

Just remember that they are a little bigger than a car…
