IN RESPONSE TO Brian Devis's letter regarding -An offer that is just too good to be true" (CM 9 July), he may well be correct.
The majority of firms advertising in the national newspapers are not LG V training centres, but agencies who do not own any training vehicles themselves. They contract out the work to established training centres and take a commission for this service.
When looking for an LGV training course, Mr Devis would be well advised to use a local training centre and avoid paying the commission charges.
The local training centres can't afford the national newspaper advertising costs, hut will still offer an excellent service. He should ask: 'Do they have their own training vehicles?', 'Are their instructors DSA approved?', Are they an agency?; and 'What's the name of the firm who'll be doing the training?' Remember, if ifs too good to be true, it normally is.
