Today saw the end of the 5 day training for Mark Jackson in the rigid 18 tonne lorry. Mark did a funded route in order to get his HGV licence. This meant that he completed a customer service level 3 diploma under the advanced learner loans. He passed his theory and hazard perception tests first time, we had arranged for the 5 day training course. Mark came out fairly confident as he already has his CPC and so has been driving 7.5 tonne vehicles on agency work but the large ve

Mark Porter met the lorry in the test centre today to take his Mod 4 driver CPC test. He came out to our training site at the Mendip Training Centre, Gurney Slade, Radstock on Thursday for his CPC training. Then with instructions on getting to the test centre, we met up early as the examiners were running early. Maintaining our 100% pass rate, Mark completed the test by scoring 95% overall. His FIRST TIME attempt too. Well done to Mark and Well done to Mike for training. #Ini

Michal took and passed his class 2 test today. After a few months off after his driver training, he turned up yesterday for some last minute reversing practice. Today, the lorry was already in the test centre and so we drove in to the test centre in the car ready to swap out from Tom who had just passed his class 2 test. After some roundabout practice and a little stint on the M32, Michal said he was ready to go to the test centre. We were early but this didn't matter as the

Maintaining our 100% mod 4 pass rate, Liam took his test today and passed with 100%. Liam is the son of our instructor, Daren. He completed his class 2 test just a couple of weeks ago and he passed that with no faults at all. Today, Liam passed his mod 4 CPC test with 100% score, so both tests FIRST TIME with a clear round. Congrats to Liam and well done to Daren too. #InitialCPC

Paul Chamberlain took and passed his Mod 4 driver CPC today. He passed his class 2 (Cat C) test with Truck School a few weeks back and now he returned to get his Mod 4 under his belt. Paul could not do his CPC straight away as he needed to first pass the Mod 2 case studies. However, as soon as that was done, Paul came over for some training around the lorry. After learning the ropes (quite literally), he drove himself into the test centre today to complete his test. Well, aft

John works and drives for FIRST BUS. He decided that alongside his bus licence, he would like to have his HGV (Class 2) Licence too. John came to see us at Truck School and we went out on an assessment drive. There are a few differences between driving a bus and driving our 18 tonne rigid lorry so we decided that although a full weeks driver training was not required, we would still complete 2 days of training before going for test. John had already passed his Mod 2 case stud
