Yeah I've found a few doing that but wondering mainly about if there good so hoping someone on here has been to them as I'm pretty short on money so want to get the lessons and tests done quickly

Your first part of learning will be the CBT, usually around about £100-£130 for the day. If you like the company your doing that with then enquire about courses they do and how much they charge.
If you dont get on with them too well then shop around and see what else there is. Most places vary slightly in price so it could be worth just phoning round and having a chat with the schools.

The place I've looked at I emailed them and they said cbt is 90 quid which seems fair and 60 quid for a 2 hour lesson? Does the lessons price seem fair?

£90 is good, I paid £100 for mine. Do they do a "follow up" day if you dont pass the first time?

I couldn't comment on the price per hour, most schools do it by the day/course.

Ah didn't think about if I failed the cbt first day :/ I'll ask but I'm sure I'll pass the cbt first go

hey guys the training school nearest to me says that it would cost another 60 quid for an extra 2 hours to finish cbt if i dont get it done first day, is that fair or should i find a different school?

yeah you know what i mean though, i want to meet the requirements on the first day because 60 quid for an extra 2 hours on the cbt is abit steep right?

cbt ;price is good Thumbs Up

.And if they meant £60 for a two hour lesson after you get your cbt.That's a pretty decent price. Very Happy

no they meant its 60 quid to come back and finish the cbt if i dont get the certificate on the first day, thats seems abit steep right?
