I don't think you get things for free (in this country, you do in plenty of other better ones of course) but if they want to solve a logistics problem that is of their own making that's the way to do it.

A course is circa £3k. They'd have that back in tax within a year.

Labour did it when the crunch happened and rather than skilled people dropping down taking unskilled people jobs they unskilled people via Skills Transfer Analysis and training grants. It worked too.

The Government could fix this quite easily by pulling money into training.

Class 1 HGV drivers are getting between £60k to £80k now, there would be no end of interest if the course was free.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t see why it should be free, how much does the training cost anyways.
You have earn qualifications and that means paying for the training too.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

It should be free because the super market shelves are increasingly empty and it would solve the problem that this quite frankly incompetent Government has created. If they can embezzle £100m into face masks that don't work they can subsidise skills shortages.

Education used to be free, it's a scandal that this country has duped people into thinking it shouldn't be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think an interest free ‘loan’ would be fairer, and pay it back once you start earning. I don’t see why you should get free courses if you’re going to be earning 40k+.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, but they're not doing that either are they.

I don't really understand what is so crazy about chucking £3k at people to benefit the country. It's kind of the Governments job to help us.

I didn’t say they were doing it, it was my suggestion that they should.

Not everything is a contradiction of your opinion….

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The cost of courses varies from about £1200 to £4350 depending on your capability and level of course you apply for.

The license lasts for 5 years before needing renewing.

Even for the most expensive example that's only £73 a month.

Most of these drivers will be earning in the region of £5000 a month so yeah paying it back once you start earning would be reasonable.

I was suggesting that my reply wasn't a contradiction to your opinion, much like you accused me of.

Agreed, besides being moral, upskilling is such an obvious investment in your people
