Just completed my last module. Thank God that's over with. Sooooo boring! Did one a month, more or less. Total wastw of time and money...
I agree, on the whole its a mind numbing task and just another money making scheme for the powers that be.i'm quite happy for a refresher course now and then so as to keep up with everything but paying for it out of my own pocket, and losing 5 days work in the process boils my piss slightly.

Despite having got a digital tachometer card a couple of years ago, I was unaware about this. I only drive 7.5tonners very occasionally, but my grandad rights are a useful "qualification" (I subcontract on exhibition work). Obviously I can't do 35hours now before 1st September, but can I do it before I next drive a truck? Or do I lose my grandad rights forever at the stroke of midnight on August 31st?
