A question. Is it possible to train as an HGV driver as part of resettlement?

I can't see why not. But after reading all these replies I not want to.

You can (with enough justification) spend your resettlement Grant and use your ELC's / SLC's on pretty much anything. I heard of one who used his time flying back and forth from Table Top Mountain for currency towards his PPL.

I'm not entirely sure but recently he's complained about the lack of prospects, lack of promotion opportunities considering the route to SAC tech compared to other trades, too much emphasis on PC, diversity, inclusion etc etc which has led to a muzzled, walking on egg shell approach across the entire working environment. Oh and crap management.

I'd agree with that. If you can get the C licence and ADR for free on resettlement (just a a backup if you not sure what you want to do)
Apols if I'm out of date here but the ADR was a week in the classroom "of which you can not fail" (lasts 5 years?)
And you have to have as said above to have scary stuff in the back....Which all the potential employer wants is that piece of paper
Has he been in long enough to qualify for resettlement?

I honestly don't know because I'm unsure of the current criteria.

I suppose it's up to him to find out because ultimately it's his decision. All I can do is to respect his choices and support where I can.
I'm saddened by it though.

Dissatisfaction is usually a personal thing, but I'm hearing the same themes of dissatisfaction across all ranks and from many of the few Stations we have left.

Lots of employers starting to offer free LGV training schemes, Moy Park in Lincs, get paid whilst training, complete any retention period then you’re sorted through to your 47th.

Bartrums in Suffolk are also running their own LGV training scheme....

I had C+E (HGV2) from the late 80’s and kept it up to date with medicals til I was 55 and I thought the need for a backstop was over…
