I think it depends how much experience you have.
I done the exams in March and passed first time.
I done a two week course with the FTA.
The multiple choice exam is fairly easy all you do is go over the multi questions revision papers Till there in your head parrot fashion and you will pass easy.
The written exam depends on how much experience you have got in business and transport.
You need to know business accounts, driver hours and WTD, licensing, calculating costs and loads general ■■■■■ inside out.
I knew the drivers hours and WTD and licensing inside out as that is my job.
I had to learn costing and accounts.
If you go on one of those courses blind with no experience it would be very intense to go on a course two weeks before the exams and pass.
A two week course is a two week course.
You can’t learn anymore than what you do on any other two week course.
I was studying myself for about 2 hours a night for 6 weeks before the exams and done the 80 hours learning with an instructor.
