HGV and CPC

goldenwonder

I was recommended by a friend to go to a specific school for a C license but they charge more than everyone else but in the end figured it could be quality otherwise theyd reduce prices for competition.
i did 2 hours for 158
and then got a discount for 4 for the price of 3 to include CPC training.
after 2 hours driving he brought me up to the office and sat me in front of a computer where i spent 2 hours answering mock questions while he did some other work with another person.

im booked for a mock test next week but he said i have to pay for 3 hours worth for 2 to have a mock tester there for an hour of it.
is this a scam?
does every school do this?
the thread also said that they failed and were told they need 8 hours more to take the test.
i figured 800 will do it and saved up over the year but ive spent 500 already
should i find someone else at this stage?

also
i checked my email there and he sent me a link to all the CPC part 1 and 2 questions
so i seemingly paid 78 euro for him to sit back and send me a link
wtf

I know a school were the majority of tanker drivers and others working for large logistic companies did there lessons, And they charge about €100 for a two hour lesson in a ridgid truck plus they do a deal for a block of ten.
And their only a few mins down the road from you the reason why I would recommend them is that I went from no licence to artic within a year and half and that was having a few months off in between the different category.
I know that we cannot mention company names here but if you want to I could pm you,Actually my sister is going ahead with her lessons with this company.

Thanks yeah a pm would be great
I heard they're a bit of a scam
After hearing they won't let you rent the truck for the test before 8 more lessons and charging your credit card
Supposedly it's rare to pay cash with them
I did notice they were very pushy about that
To fi USB off, they're kinda rude... No pleasantries

is their reduced rate of training for the jobs they have posted cheaper than just regularly getting trained?
even if theyre not going to give you a job
it says no experience required
