Hi, you don't say where you are in the country but there are lots of companies that will train you. Be carelful though, there are a lot of companies now who are "middle men" they take your money and set you up with someone you could have contacted yourself more cheaply.
1. Make SURE it is waht your boy wants to do. Its lonely and takes a few years experience before you will be hitting good money.
2. Get driving lincence sent off to get the L status on for LVG 2 (you have to do this first)
3. Find a reliable company to train you. I used to work for one in Coventry - they were fair
4. get a medical - a good training company may have a "tame" GP who will give you a sensible price for a medical otherwise it can be £100+
5. Talk to your training provider. They may book your computer test at the same time as your package (see what training packages they offer) - don't go for one less that 5 days, chances are the boy won't pass.
6. see what a package would cost to get LGV1 followed by Tanker (hazfreight) ADR and CPC Digital Tacho Training
7. See if your trainer has any "Tame" companies that can offer a job. Many top firms won't take a newly qualified, but ask for a minimum of 2 years exp.
