I AM WRITING to you for help and any useful addresses you may have for me. I am currently in prison and I will be until 2015. I’m 43-years-old and will be 47 on my release.
I’ve asked the Probation Service and Prison Service for advice on what age I will require my HGV medical, plus for any home study courses for Driver CPC and ADR courses so I can use my time in prison to my beneit.
Well, I’ve been in prison for two-and-a-half years and I’ve still had no answer from either service. I get CM weekly and I value all of the information in your pages, so I’m hoping that you may help with addresses for Open University or home study so I can return to a career of driving upon release.
I will fund the courses myself, despite the government going on about retraining offenders so that they don’t commit crime and how they’re funding millions in training, yet in my two-and-a-half years of asking various oficial bodies, I’ve had no reply. I would therefore like to thank you if you can help me to obtain any courses or home study to help in my resettlement upon release. Keep up the good work!
