Will the job centre not fund something like this if you're unemployed?

Been looking for a while now, Only way i'm doing it is to do it in stages. Just sent my licence off to et the entitlement aded, then in a month I'll do my theory test then leave it a few months to get some money sorted out and then go do a week crash course and actually get a licence.

Just had a look through a job site, most of the haulage company's and agency's require at least 180 days driving experience in that class (Eg class 1 or class 2)

I did a bit of work with taking money off Job Centres for training and it's a bit of a lottery, some are throwing money at people and others straight away say no chance.

Never seen enough money to do that though. Although they may contribute.

Might be worth contacting a few schools see if they have any experience of that or any contacts in the right places.

Ive got an interview with them tomorrow, I went in to ask for an interview to try and get help actually finding a job, improving my CV etc, all I got was " o well you can sign up for JSA" I think everyone at our local job centre just assumes you are going to just to get the dole

I want my C+E so I can fill a transporter with track cars when we do a day. Then I'll tour Europe picking up rare old Opels the rest of the time.

I need to do my trailer test soon, and for something big (7.5T +), will always be handy.

I've spent 3 grand in the last 2 years putting myself through my class 2, driver cpc and 2 months ago did my class 1.

Couldn't get a job driving a class 1 anywhere apart from agency work so I'm back doing recovery work driving a class 2 and will do agency class 1 work to get experience ove rthe next few years.

Not an easy career to walk into good jobs. I'm lucky my recovery job is something I really enjoy and is 4 days on, 4 days off and well paid. Class 1 work will just give me extra pennies and hopefully lead on to better things in future.
