Hgv class 2 training , how many attempts do you get with most packages

[West1990]

I'm looking to do my hgv class 2 in the future , but a lot of the training packages I have seen appear to be for one attempt only

For a second or third attempt do you have to pay the full price again minus the theory and other tests and medical .

Could anyone advise me on the cheapest way about getting a second and hopefully not a third attempt

When I did my class 2 many years ago the company offered two packages, the more expensive one gave you another chance if you failed the first time. I think the company was called 'Sterling' or something like that, don't think they are still going though.
Of course, after paying the extra I passed first time anyway! Best advice I can give you is don't touch the kerb on the way out of the test centre

Sincere good luck and best wishes to all you guys looking to gain your HGV licences, it makes me feel positively prehistoric.
I was a van boy on a bakery firm when I was 17, and the firm encouraged us to drive on L plates, and take the test on their 3 ton vans.
I passed first time, and at 18 I was driving for them, at 20 I quit and got a job driving a 5 ton tipper, eventually graduating to a 10 ton flat bed Dodge.
At 21, the boss showed me how to reverse an artic, and I began to do a night trunk from London to Southampton with one.
When HGV licences came in by law, I got mine on granddad rights.
For the next 11 or 12 years I did Continental work, Germany, Poland, Yugoslavia before it broke up, Czechoslovakia the same, France, Spain, you name it.
At 34 I started the Knowledge, and 2 and a bit years after that I was driving a Black Cab in London.
I still have my Class 1 HGV, but I have to have an annual medical now, God knows why I keep it, if anyone asked me to pilot a 40 ton artic to Milan now, I’d tell them to take a hike, but I had some times back in the day.

I failed first time. Second test with a quick familiarisation on the morning was another £200ish from memory.

You should not need to pay for a full course again, unless your hopeless- in which case I’d give up! - in the event of a fail, book a lesson or two and concentrate on what you failed on and then rebook your test (paying the test fee again) afaik, in the event of a practical test fail you won’t need to sit the theory test again.
