Renewed my ADR licence 10/10

Renewed my ADR licence and cannot fault them in any way. Course was delivered exceptionally well by Ker and he explained everything in such a way that out made everything so much easier when it came to the exams. The facilities were spot on clean tidy and couldn't fault them in any way. Would highly recommend these every day of the week, thank you

ADR Training

I completed a full ADR course today using Oakwood training in Wick- Bristol. Honestly, Ker was amazing facilitating the course with a lot professionalism. Everything was explained to me, the course materials, as well as the reference book covered everything we needed to know.. I can't rate Oakwood training high enough. Many thanks to you Ker and l will be back God willing. 5 star +

Fantastic DCPC training day

Fantastic DCPC training day, again, at Oakwood. As always Ker is and excellent trainer and host. The new venue at Wick is excellent, comfortable, warm and refreshments on tap. Plenty of parking too. Highly recommend.

Ker is the best.

Ker is the best.

His knowledge and own training is so complete and up-to-date.
Conducting training sessions with a fun sense of humour, he involves everyone to maximise their learning potential. He's a hell of a teacher.

His portfolio is growing rapidly nationwide, this is no surprise.

Avoid anyone else, they are inferior.
Book your training with Oakwood.

Most of us view the CPC training as an inconvenient pain and we leave it to the last minute to do, Ker takes all that on board and somehow you leave his courses with a view that you have actually learnt something you didn’t previously know.
Ker reminds you that a Driver is classed as a “professional occupation” and of the importance of refreshing your knowledge, along with a little added humour

Excellent tutor

Kerry is very knowledgeable, engaging and down to earth.
I especially liked that I could have my modules as a classrom based (as opposed to Zoom) experience.
The course was presented in a very professional way whilst managing to maintain the focus of the group - both those in the classroom and those remotely linked.
I will definitely take further modules with Kerry again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone else. 10/10 !

DCPC HEALTH AND SAFETY/ECO DRIVING

i have been using OAKWOOD TRAINING SOLUTIONS for a number of years now not only for myself but putting many of my drivers through as well.
i always get a good response from the staff who attend these courses.
i attended the health & safety / eco driving course via an online link.
The course itself was very informative and made some very good and interesting points.
Ker who is the instructor kept everyone involved be it in the classroom with him, or to the candidates online not an easy job but Ker seems to manage it very well.
overall an excellent professional experience with a very friendly helpful approach.
highly recommend.

CPC corse

I’ve attended many courses over the years, and this was the best.

The trainer was well versed in his subject, and made it informative and interesting.

Involvement of the group was encouraged, and many subjects were discussed, and I’m sure we all learn something new would not hesitate to use again.

Teaching and course structure mastered.

He kept everyone engaged in a relaxed atmosphere, without compromising professionalism. Structured to maximise learning, he started with an overview. This was followed with a constant combination of going deeper on a topic and going over what has already been taught. And it wasn’t mentally taxing all the time. Through experience, he knew how to mix sections in a way that gave our brains a break. This guy even seemed to know when someone needed a bit more help, just by observation. Everyone exceeded their expectations. Except for one who arrived full of confidence (there’s always one). Everyone enjoyed a good laugh throughout and everyone passed. Apparently the laughing and passing isn’t guaranteed.

Ker was good at teaching

Ker was good at teaching, using his knowledge of ADR and CPC and passing the knowledge onto his learners using PowerPoint and hand outs, and keeping up involved with questions at every possible times
