Employment-linked training

Train for £250* — Class 2.

Start your Class 2 training with a £250 contribution towards the vehicle fuel used during training. There is no training fee to pay upfront on an approved employment-linked pathway. The agreed training fee is paid after you start eligible employment—either by a participating employer or by you under separately approved written terms.

01

Employer-paid route

A participating employer agrees to pay the training fee after you start the eligible role.

02

Candidate route

You may register interest in paying after employment begins. This route is offered only when lawful written terms have been approved.

03

Start with eligibility

Licence position, employability, local vacancies, training availability and the proposed payment route are reviewed first.

*£250 is a contribution towards the vehicle fuel used during training and is separate from the training fee. Subject to eligibility, participating employers, available places and written terms. Registering interest is not a job offer, training booking, finance application or credit agreement. No payroll deduction or individual deferred-payment agreement will be made through this website.
