Career Startr Ltd seems to be a cross between a money lender and training broker, they appear to be partnered with 3 employment agencies so if they’ve told you they can find you a job it’s probably agency work and won’t be guaranteed work.

Personally I’d stay well clear of them mate.

@ dieseldave

Just like you I at first assumed it was a spelling mistake in the OPs post and searched for Career Starter Ltd and got to the same page as you did :smiley:

The company is actually called Career Startr Ltd

Don’t think that’s the correct site… careerstartr.com

Driver Hire agency good luck with that one lol I didn’t have a good experience with them

That’s a fair point tachograph. :blush: :blush:

Hands up… I honestly thought it was a typo. :frowning:

Agreed mate, you’re quite right.

I couldn’t comment on their ability to find you a job, but their finance could seem a little expensive to some people.

It doesn’t look like a scam but it doesn’t look like a HGV training company either, they will almost certainly act as brokers and fix you up with a training company of their choice.

If you can get your deposit back or cancel it you’d do better to go direct to a HGV training company, just about everyone here would advise you to go to one or two HGV training companies for a driving assessment, a lot of training companies will give you a free assessment and you get to meet the people you’re dealing with.

100% agree I ve gone with a broker and I m seriously wondering what half of my price actually is I reckon if I d done it myself booking theory’s and the such I could be in for around £1200ish

Cheers all for you thoughts…

The website reads like a broker. If I were you, I’d cancel and start again.
