I strongly recommend using these guys…
I strongly recommend using these guys if you’re thinking about taking your LGV/HGV test.
I had a week and a half with these guys and that’s all it took and now I’m one of the youngest class 1 drivers in the UK. The lessons are very relaxed and you don’t feel pressured.
I had Rob, and I can honestly say that he makes learning to drive a breeze. At no point did I feel overwhelmed.
So thank you Rob and the entire GS training group. Would very highly recommend to anyone.

Excellent training from GS
GS Driver Training were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. A proper training centre, not just a faceless broker (they seem to be everywhere.. ) From my initial enquiry, and multiple emails (..sorry Sharree) I finally took the plunge and went ahead in September 22. Passed my theory on the 6th, and managed to get in quickly for practical training on the 12th - in only 10 days I had my class 2 licence in my hand! My instructors were Gary and Helen and their friendly, relaxed style was great - I never felt pressured, and was completely at ease the whole time. No question is a stupid question. I learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommended.

Exceptional driving school….
Exceptional driving school….. had the very good fortune to work with instructor Darren ‘Daz’ for 3 days to undertake D1+E training. Incredibly professional, very experienced and doesn’t miss a thing; Daz’s ability to coach is second to none. Be prepared to be held to a high standard and expect Daz to be persistent, but it’s worth it as he’ll set you up for success. Particularly liked the way he broke the training into simple formulaic processes.
Thank you G.S driver training, thank you Darren

Are we able to to give more than 5* ? What a superb company and staff.
Darren was my instructor. Forthright. Straight to the point. Which is the best way. Darren was superb. Told it how it is his instructions are clear and concise. And dare I say repetitive. All in all he was superb and fills you with confidence prior to the test.
I passed my reverse test and practical driving tests and passed first time at the age of 60!
Also thanks to Sherree who’s patience I def tried. She is very efficient and knows exactly what she is doing. All in all the whole company is professionally run by professionals.
Thankyou very much to the whole team.
