ANDY1961:
I’ve been following this thread with real interest and the question above is something I’d like to hear the answer to.After being made redundant three times in the last 18 months as a driver, I’ve looked into LGV and PCV instructing as a serious career move. I’ve got the best part of 20 years experience as a driver.
LGV/PCV instructor jobs are far and few between - certainly up here in Scotland - so is spending the £2000+ to sit and hopefully pass the course (putting you on the DSA voluntary register), an essential requirement to get you an instructors job in a reputable company?
Most get an instructor job in a training company and then go for the register if they wish to - I don’t know of anyone who did it the other way around

EDIT & ADD - sorry about going off topic 
I should have taken this issue to the above link.
