A Guide to LGV Driver Training

March 25th, 2010
Comments Off

The UK may be in recession with many of people losing their jobs every month, but there is a strong demand for Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) drivers. Therefore, there is an opportunity for anyone who undertakes the necessary LGV training to obtain a job with good levels of pay and job security.

In order to become a LGV driver, you need to be properly trained, qualified and licensed. You should start by finding a professional transport training company and enrolling on a LGV training course. You should look for a qualified training company who have instructors that are experienced at driving the type of vehicles you wish to drive. They should be knowledgeable, patient and good at building your confidence. They will be in a position to share with you a wealth of knowledge and skills that will prepare you for your driving test.

In order to drive a LGV vehicle, you will need to take a theory and a practical driving test, as follows:

The Theory Test

There are two parts to the theory test and they can be taken separately or on the same day. You can also choose which one to do first. You need to pass both parts to gain an overall pass. Once you have passed the theory test you can then apply to take your practical driving test.

The Practical Driving Test

This is designed to test the skills you will need to be a professional driver.

The practical test involves:

 

 

 

  • vehicle safety questions
  •  

     

  • a test of driving ability
  •  

     

  • a test of specific manoeuvres, including a braking exercise and reversing into a bay
  •  

     

     

    To become a LGV driver you will need a high degree of vehicle handling skill, which is why you need the right LGV driver training before you take your practical test. To become a professional lorry driver you will also need to know about the regulations that relate to your work and have a strong knowledge of the Highway Code, especially road markings and signs that relate to heavy goods vehicles.

    The Secret To The Master Cleanse

    February 12th, 2010
    Comments Off

    During my research into fasting, I came across the Master Cleanse diet, it appears to be a very popular one and is considered pretty solid. Some of you may remember it as the same ‘diet’ Beyonce used to lose a few pounds for Dreamgirls.

    Reports of other’s experiences were very encouraging to me and gave me an idea of what to expect. I contacted a few people about their experiences with the master cleanser and some did not get past day 2 or 3 which appears to be where most stumble. I’ve fasted in the past and never could last without eating at all as most fasts require. Technically, being a juice fast the lemon juice maple syrup diet does offer some sustenance (the lemonade drink used for the cleanse is also why it is called the lemonade diet by some.)

    The premise is simple, but simple does not equal easy.. Though the guidelines are few, the will power necessary to succeed is another thing altogether. Luckily I came across a book that gives you lots of tips and tricks to make the cayenne pepper diet a much smaller challenge.

    One thing touted is the weight loss from the diet but that was never my main concern. I did it for the toxin cleansing benefits. I felt really tired and sluggish lately and enough people have told me how much better they feel after a fast that I went for it once more.

    The original book states to spend 10 days on the cleansing program, though I’ve heard of people staying on it longer. Like 20+ days long.. I decided to commit to only 5 days to see how I reacted. Considering I never made it past 2 days before that was quite an accomplishment.

    With the secrets book as my guide I was able to look up issues and find answers to questions that enabled me to stick with it. Knowing it was there with answers gave me a lot more confidence going into the cleanse. That confidence translated into success.

    Another good thing was the timing was perfect as I had recently spoken with my doctor about fasting. I strongly urge anyone interested in trying any kind of fast to speak with their doctor first to make sure everything is OK before diving in.

    The final verdict: I feel much better after the 5 days and I am considering doing it again. Next time I will shoot for the full ten days. One suggestion I can offer is to take it easy when trasnitioning back into eating (the secrets book gives excellent guidance on this.)

    10 TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURIAL PITCH

    November 29th, 2009
    Comments Off

    One of the hardest presentations to make is the entrepreneurial pitch. You have a great idea for a business and you want someone to give you money to make it happen. The problem is that venture capitalists, angel investors, and even rich uncles are heavily predisposed against you. Why? Because 99% of the pitches they hear sound like sure-fire prescriptions to lose money!

    If you are pitching investors to give you money for a new venture, you should subscribe to the following rules:

    1. Explain exactly what your business is within the first thirty seconds. Many entrepreneurs waste valuable time giving loads of data, background and other info—all the while investors are left scratching their heads thinking “What does this business actually DO?”

    2. Tell your audience who your customers will be. Paint a vivid, specific picture of these people.

    3. Explain why your customers going to give you there hard-earned money.

    4. Explain who your competitors are. (And if you say you have no competitors, that is a certain sign you are unsophisticated and deserve no investment money!)

    5. Explain why you are the ONE to make this happen.

    6. Give your presentation with confidence and enthusiasm. Investors want a founder/CEO to be a chief salesperson; they want to see that you can convince the world of your dream—not just them.

    7. Explain what star you can hitch a ride to. Has Best Buy or Radio Shack agreed to distribute your new product? Investors feel much more comfortable knowing you have an established player willing to distribute your wares.

    8. Ask for a specific amount of money. If all you do is ask for money, then you can’t complain if an investor gives you $3.25 for a cup of Starbucks coffee.

    9. Tell prospects exactly what you are going to spend the money on (hint:a trip to Maui for you and your friends will not impress)

    10. Dress well, act confident, and put on the air that you don’t really need their money, but would be willing to accept it if they bring enough to the table to be a strategic partner for you. Sad but true regarding human nature, but people are much more likely to give you money if they feel you don’t really need it.

    Finally, make each pitch presentation serve as a focus group for your next presentation. When one group of investors asks you a series of questions after you pitch, write down all of those questions and make sure most of them are answered in your next pitch so that the next group doesn’t have to ask them. Keep pitching and keep improving your pitch and eventually you may get funded.
