Lorry experience for 60mins
I had a Lorry experience for 60mins with GS driver training and it was well worth it. I had a Brilliant instructor Sean. Very proffessional and honest. He made me feel very welcome.
I am going to start my HGV training with this company soon. Thank you very much.

Excellent Driver Training experience
I recently did my C1 practical test with GS Driver Training. Throughout the process the staff displayed exceptional professionalism and experience, and the van I was given to drive and do my test in was clearly well looked after. I was sucessful in passing my test first time. Shout out to Ben, you legend, I could not have done it without you! I highly recommend GS Driver Training to my peers, and I hope to be back in the near future for further qualifications

I came from a different company that was not very helpful, and unfortunately, I failed my driving test. However, after a two-month break, I got in touch with GS Driver Training and met Saun. After just one session with him, I passed the 3b test. Saun, I want to express my sincere gratitude for all the support you provided me.

Fun experience day
Went on an hour long lorry driving experience with Sean. Had a great time driving round Dunsfold aerodrome practicing driving, reversing and maneuvering. If you want a taste of driving an artic without actually taking the test then this was fun and well worth it.

Hi David, thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time driving with Sean at Dunsfold Aerodrome. It’s brilliant that you enjoyed practising key skills such as driving, reversing, and manoeuvring, and found the experience well worth it. We always aim to give people a real feel for what it’s like to drive an artic, without the pressure of taking a test. We hope to see you again if you decide to pursue your HGV licence, and thanks again for choosing GS Driver Training!
This company came in and saved the day
This company came in and saved the day! After being let down by a company based in Chobham, Hampshire. I was accepted by GS (even though many schools will not take you if you trained elsewhere) I went out with Dave who was a no-nonsense straight down the line kind of guy, he knew his stuff and was firm but not overbearing, his confidence in me made me feel calm and relaxed, after just two hours with Dave in the van I felt very confident to take the test... which I passed!!!!
This was a re-test, my second time around so could have gone either way; although I am convinced it is down to the instructors and the quality vehicles they operate.
Thank you GS; you saved the day!!!!

Had a fantastic time with GS Driver Training. Shaun & Dan were top-notch instructors, super knowledgeable about HGVs. They covered everything to ace the exam on the first try. I'll for sure be suggesting them to my friends & family. Don't forget, head straight to the training school to save money, avoid those pricey brokers!
