HGV Training scams

There are lots of companies – known as brokers – who offer to provide a complete HGV training service. They say they will organise a provisional licence, arrange a medical, book a theory test and provide the practical training. Courses are normally around the £3000 mark, but unfortunately it seems there are some rogue brokers who are set up purely to scam people. They appear to be bona fide firms and will probably have a glossy looking website. They won’t necessarily ask for the full fee upfront – instead they’re more likely to ask for a couple of smaller instalments. In return they will start organising the lower cost elements of the training like the medical and theory test. This builds up trust in the victim, who is then happy to pay the rest of the fee. The company will then stop answering calls, or may disappear completely, and the costly practical training is never provided.

It’s worth looking into local training centres you can visit yourself to see what sort of facilities they provide. If you decide to use a broker then do plenty of background research on them and look for positive testimonials online.
