Hello, I hope you are doing well. First of all, check out this article that we previously wrote Click Here
Another option is to apply for an apprenticeship. Here are a few links related to HGV apprenticeships in which you will be paid alongside getting free HGV qualifications.
I hope this has helped, let me know how you get on.

Hi I’m 46 years old and have driven a 7.5 tonne lorry basically since I was 18, I’m desperate to get my class 2 licence as I really want to work for myself as a grab driver but unfortunately I don’t earn great money and i can’t afford the cost of what it is to train, I so desperately want to improve mine and family’s way of living is there any kind of government aid I can get, Yours hopefully Mr David Drew

Hi there. Just a quick question. I failed my class 2. and planning on going to another school as I wasn’t impressed with the service I received. I need £960 for 2 days driving plus test and pass protection. Any way I can get help towards this. Really don’t mind at all paying it back!! After all I’m already 2k into it. Just this time of year financially is hard enough let alone finding another thousand pound.

The government offers Advanced Learner Loans (https://www.gov.uk/advanced-learner-loan/how-to-apply). You should check with local HGV training centres to see if their courses qualify for this funding. Here is a link to a HGV training company which offers HGV training through the Advanced Learn Loan service (https://www.truckschool.org.uk/government-funded-hgv-pcv-course).
