[QUOTE="betweenthelines, post: 7761475, member: 45282"] Learning to pass a test is the quick bit though. First you have to get a Medical, apply for a provisional licence (huge backlog at DVLA) book and pass a theory test, book a test date (usually done by the training provider, but again big delays "due to covid") You won't be let out on the road as soon as you pass the test either. You need to do 35 hours Driver CPC training (again delays "due to covid") and get taught the tachograph/driver hours rules (which isn't part of the test!) And most reasonable employers are aware that passing a test is not the same as being able to drive, so may well want you to do a bit more training before you are let loose on your own. 5 years ago, three months from getting your Medical to driving on your own was considered good. That was with the employer offering loads of support such as mock theory testing, in house training etc. Now I suspect it's probably twice that. [/QUOTE]
