I did my class 2 and then 1 in April/may this year with A-Class in Gillingham, very good instructors, would defiantly recommend them. Not sure if they can do it thru finance thou. There are also a couple of independants around Canterbury, I believe they Canterbury test centre is only part time thou.
We have a finance facility via a third party finance company. Going through a broker will cost you around double the normal cost. They will take your money/sign you up for finance and then send you to a trainer who would have done the job for a fraction of the cost.

hi, I was in a similar situation Credit cards etc weren’t an option for various reasons and the bank wouldn’t lend me the money as I was/am an agency worker. I found various we lend to anyone company’s on the internet and they were a lot cheaper than the brokers plus with the loan I got I can pay it back quicker with no extra charge and less interest.
Another point that was said to me is the brokers don’t want you sitting around for 3 months waiting for a slot to come available they want you paying back the money as soon as possible so they use companies that have lots of space on their books one has to wonder why.
Give Elias from Start 2 drive a call, he only goes up to class 2. He is based in Canterbury. He taught me class 2 last year. Brilliant instructor, very knowledgeable and easy going. Much better than the company from Hoo, Medway who I did my class 1 with recently.
That is a broker, which we all know should be avoided at all costs.
They defo aren’t a broker. I’ve been to their office and drove one of the trucks myself! They got about 8 trucks and I got Class 1 booked up with them again.
