Be aware of HGV / LGV Training Site SCAMS you can read this article http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/fast-track-hgv-conman-hardeep-2941266 and watch this Youtube video from this poor chap who got ripped off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GktiJAuhPwg
Make sure you do your homework, a visit in person to an LGV trainer should not present any problems to a legitimate company, and there should be no reason to part with any significant amounts of your money until the day of training.

Driver CPC Training
DRIVING STANDARDS AGENCY
|
||
|

You have just 7 Months left to complete the 35 hours of periodic
training to keep your Driver CPC if you're a bus or coach driver and got your
vocational licence before
10 September 2008. |
||
Since
Driver CPC was introduced, over half a million professional drivers across
the goods and passenger sectors have taken accredited periodic training. This
is to further develop their knowledge and skills and help make sure they
remain safe and responsible drivers throughout their career. Periodic training courses There are now over 3,000 approved training courses available to drivers. They cover a range of topics from fuel efficiency to tachograph and drivers' hours regulations or defensive driving. All courses and providers have to meet strict criteria. They are both quality-checked on an ongoing basis, to make sure they meet the required standard. Don't leave it until the last minute Sep 12: From The DSA chief executive, Rosemary Thew,
"I would urge all drivers who haven't yet started
periodic training not to leave it until the last minute. If the deadline
arrives and you drive professionally without a Driver CPC, you'll be
committing an offence.
"If you're an operator and you cause or allow your
drivers to drive without Driver CPC - you'll also be committing an offence.
"The idea of drivers completing regular training
throughout their working life is not new - many have been doing it for years
through operators who recognise the benefits of
drivers developing their skills; helping to boost productivity as well as
improve road safety."
