Hi all.
Im currently working full time, and looking to get my Class C level 2 license, its around £1300 for the training and unfortunately I dont have the funds.
Is there a grant or some financial support I could get to cover the cost, as its work related?
Thanks

Ive never heard of one, unless you could ask the company you work for to fund it.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
Unfortunately that wouldnt be possible, its a small to medium company I work for, employ 44 staff I beleive, I am one of their supervisors and would know that it means I am looking t leave.0

Thanks. Im looking into the career development loan.
Also is anyone experienced with this training? Thebfirst part of training which is £200, aeems as though it could be completed urself with a company?0 -
It might be an idea to get yourself over to Trucknet forum. They have a newbies board where you'll find some very helpful info from a couple of trainers and people that are doing or recently done their training.
The main board will probably be interesting reading as well.
Good Luck, after 30+ years in the industry, I still enjoy it mostly.0
