Unless you are already working for a LGV company in another capacity and they offer to train you up then getting one to do so is as likely as seeing a blue moon

Or you could do what most of us have had to do save up & pay for self to go through it

Your too young for most companies to take you on in the first place, let along someone paying for your test and then giving you a job. Those days are well and truly over.

Hi
there is a thread on here some where called stobbart apprenticeships a couple of lads on here are on it at the moment i think … if you are out of work ask job centre about LVP funding ( low value precurment ) .but that takes ages and you will get the trainer they choose and may travel miles to train …best of luck … :slight_smile:
