Smart Mart, I noticed this in your signature…
LGV Instructor (DSA Registered - only 6 months to decide about re-registering)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - being on the DSA voluntary register does not mean that the instructor is either good or bad.
Using that as the criteria for vetting the training expertise of companies is not the way IMO.
Are you having second thoughts on the register 
Smart Mart:
Indeed I am Rog - well hardly second thoughts, I have decided not to redo my register tests - unless someone else pays! I will not be spending nearly £400 for a qualification that the DSA have no intention of making compulsory (despite having the legislation in place to do).I wrote to the DSA in April with several questions relating to the Register and Instructors. The answers to my 10 questions were not encouraging to say the least. They were unable to confirm the number of instructors who have no re-registered (presumably basic math is beyond them!). There was supposed to be a list of Registered Instructors being published - that hasn’t appeared anywhere useful The DSA say that ‘A public list of LGV instructors is currently maintained and sent to members of the public requesting information about large goods vehicle training providers’, apparently! I also asked if they recorded registered instructors pass rates - they don’t!
All in all - I now think that the DSA register is useless and am looking at RTITB as a possible better alternative! Or just carry on without any current qualification, which as my pass rates have consistently improved year on year, I think is the best option!
I should point out that the company I currently train for will continue to have at least one DSA registered instructor.
The RTITB INSTRUCTOR COURSE does seem to be properly formatted
