I reckon you’ll be [ZB] lucky !!!
From what I’ve read on your other post, you still need to do the theory tests and then after that you’ll need to book a practical course where the testing date is available before Sept 10…
… that’s less than 5 weeks to do all that… I very much doubt if it can be done but you never know…

It could be possible if act now, you may find a school with a free week in say 3 weeks time. But say you fail on something silly, it would put you behind and i doubt you’d be able to make your set date. Good luck with it, and i hope you do make it, but i’m kinda with Rog, you may have left it a bit late to do everything by your chosen date.
Brian -Good job mate, nice to see you getting some experience 
When you were reversing and looking out of the back window did you feel like you were the captain of a supertanker? It did when I drove one of those for the first time!

tell you the truth mate i didnt look out the back window i used the mirrors but yes i did crap myself first time cos i had trusses on that where 5 mtrs high. they had to be put on upside down with the apex at the bottom between the gap. and yes the lengh was huge it was like a supertanker but you do it dont you. i spent 95% of the time panicking bout low bridges as the overall height was 16ft. 
want some class 1 work now. i have told the agencies i got c+e so hopefully will get some. I feel my experience is expanding and i am very confident in my driving. I like the agencies cos you get to drive different trucks new and old.

Hi Brian,
You wanna bet??
I ran a 3.5-day ADR course split over the last two weekends, today was the exam day.
When I got the exam matrix, there were two extra guys to run re-sit exams for.
One of these guys had failed 4 out of the 5 exams he took last time, but his mate did a bit better and only failed 3 out of 5.
Normal service is resumed in Ellesmere Port tomorrow though. (The above was elsewhere and for a different provider. 
)
