Its a few years since Driver CPC training courses became compulsory for all professional drivers. Most of the drivers have talked about the benefits they have reaped from this course. Finding the right training school can be a bit hard plus it’s expensive, and we all don’t want to waste our hard earned money. Here are tips to guide you through the selection process as well as advice to help you save some cash.

Training Hours

It is crucial that all trainees be fully receptive, alert and focused throughout the training sessions. Failure to this might result in a waste of time, errors and increased danger in roads. Optimum attention and a high level of concentration are vital when one is attending training.

The best training school should have the CPC training courses being arranged at your convenience, not their convenience. This ensuresthat you are at your level best during the training sessions.

Flexibility

The school should have a flexible training program. It should offer you a chance to sample the school’s training program and tuition before you fully commit. This can be in the form of allowing you to pay for a few lessons first before paying fees for the full course. This gives you the chance to sample different CPC training courses providers and choose the one you feel most comfortable with. It should also offer flexibility regarding completion time. If you want to finish the course in a shorter duration, the school’s program should be flexible enough to allow for that.

Ask for a Discount

With the increase in fuel prices and cost of wages, discounts may be rare. But this doesn’t mean that they are impossible to find. Some schools will not offer a discount, but they will offer you further training free of charge.

Discounts are good, but if you do not get one, it’s not enough reason to leave a trainer you have settled for.

Assessment

Undergoing an assessment is a crucial part of selecting a CPC training school. If time allows, visit around three schools for an assessment before you make a decision. An understatement in the number of hours you need for sufficient training increases the chances of you failing the final test. This is even worse putting into consideration the amount of money you will have spent in the training.

An assessment also gives you a chance to meet the instructors as well as a chance to have a proper look at the training school’s organization. You do not need to book training in an uncomfortable environment with instructors whose service you do not like. Besides, you get to sample the vehicles used in the school. The vehicles should have; a well adjustable driving seat, smooth braking, an easy to use gearbox, comfortable steering, and excellent visibility.

Cost

We all want to save some cash. But cost should not be the first factor to consider when choosing a CCP training school. In a case where all other factors are constant, select the school with the fairest prices. Remember to ask whether the fees are inclusive of VAT, and Test fees.
