Dodgy cpc courses

[nick2008]

BUNK HOUSE accommodation soap on a rope time and I love the picture of the Scania truck off the road with. DONT LET THIS BE YOU slogan
oh and a 4 day special is only £196.00

Only the 5 days is at a special lower price, all the other options are charged at the normal expensive rate ,
Now if i had a sprinter or other such van, i could live/sleep in that instead of some hostel . i wonder if it could be got cheaper if you opted to sort your own accommodation out ? better still just send the wonga and get the dcpc card in return , better than having to endure the mind numbing bs in some classroom

I may give them a call (though only need four days worth) my Mum lives just up the road in Abergele, I get the course my daughter sees her Nan

Did you end up going there Drift (or anybody else)? The recoverytech cpc place I mean in Old Colwyn.

If so, was it all ok?

Hi Billy, no my works came good in the end, well last one in a couple of weeks time.
Though I am sure I have read somewhere that this company did what they said.
Sorry I couldn’t help more Billy.

Thanks Drift. I am going to give them a go. I’m the same as you, with family in the area. So everyone gets a weeks holiday while I go to a classroom!

Thats so hypothetical it aint going to happen. The card itself is proof you attended. They can check all they like but its not info you have to furnish at the roadside. Also unless the laws have changed then you’re innocent until proven guilty and that info is not very likley to be carried around by a driver, nor are his records for such dates as “two years ago”.

If you say “no” , then nothing is going to happen is it… No one is going to have any tacho records from more than 28 working days back anyways.
During the course itself, you won’t be doing any driving either.

The only way anyone is going to prove “you went on a mickey mouse course” is if the “instructor” is later busted, and he/she foolishly kept records as to all those backhanded £50 bribes… Not going to happen is it! Once that money got handed over, there will be no record anywhere, except the upload IF that was done as part of the short-cut deal…
