I’m a director of Imperial roofing merchants In SYSTON Leicester and we have recently used this company to train up one of employees for his large goods vehicle qualification . Right from the start I engaged with a lady called Rachel who helped us through the whole process from start to finish in a very professional manner , always keeping us informed of events coming up and progress of our employee . I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this company .

Passed my CAT C test this morning. All I can say is the guys at Data helped me beyond measure. Such a relaxed but informed learning environment. Made to feel super welcome both in the office and the truck.

My instructor Tony was always happy and well presented he helped point me in the right direction when needed and offered support to help me get ready for the test.

Can't thank them enough and would 100% them for anyone looking to get further driving qualifications.

I have just taken my B+E test with Data Academy and would highly recommend them to anyone. They were all so friendly and incredibly helpful.
Great teaching and after making a really silly mistake in my first test last week, they managed to get me in very quickly for a second test which I passed with no minors - definitely all down to the guys at Data!
Thank you for all of your help!!

C and B+E first time passes - Data Academy a fantastic company to train with!

Having taken both my C and B+E training and tests with Data Academy I can thoroughly recommend them. I was fortunate enough to receive first time passes with no prior experience or knowledge and with all teaching carried out by the team of Data Academy.

All staff have been very thorough / helpful with bookings, theory and practical training. Any questions (no matter how simple or complex) have always been answered to an excellent standard.

The Data Academy team are a warm friendly and helpful bunch. They make the early starts very easy to deal with. The bakery treats are the icing on the cake!

All theoretical and practical training are very well led. They were very happy to run through areas which I specifically asked to practice further on.

With no hesitation, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Data Academy team to train with. Look no further!

Dorian and the team were really helpful in planning the training courses. Everything was explained and planned in. I had two guys booked in for Class 2 training, the dates were flexible and suited the business needs. The communication from Data Academy was great and for that reason the process flow easily, I will certainly be using Data Academy again.
