I've just sat and worked out a figure:
Course = £2795
5 Additional Hours Tuition = £328
Visa = $100 (£53)
Flight = £333 (LGW to Orlando 1/11/05 - 28/11/05 ebookers.com)
Return Check Test in UK = £550
CAA Licence Fee = £146
CAA Class Two Medical = £20 (You need to know where to look!!)
Food & Drink = £600
Total = £4825
This figure dosn't include car hire
If you need a cheap medical contact a local LGV training school, they should have the list of doctors who do medicals for the DVLA. Its very similar to the CAA medical, I paid £20 last year at a doctors in Kent.
On paper is is starting to look cheaper BUT in reality it could be a whole different experience!!!
