I am a new postie (3 months) who has an LGV license and I have to achieve my driver cpc training before September do you think Royal Mail would let me attend their courses if I was to pay for it myself and who would I need to contact about this?

I am assuming that you are on a delivery walk and therefore there is no need for RM to put you through the CPC courses as this not a requirement on your present duty. However if there is within your office the likelihood of vacancies occurring in the collections and network units RM may consider your request to attend these courses. Speak to your present first line manager and he/she should be able to give his counterpart in the C&N unit.
