Sirens Driving Academy Ltd Reviews 17

Passed my hgv class 2
1st time the instructor Luke I had was brilliant
Was very calm went through all the procedures correctly all round great instructor.
No rushing around with the training
Taking you through step-by-step

My training and reverse test went well although the whole course was crammed in to 2 and a half days which apparently isnt long enough according to some of the guys considering ive never driven a lorry before, usually 4 days apparently is the average, Alby is a nice guy and a top trainer, so i completed my reverse test and was handed my certificate and was told to keep it in a "safe place" instead of "you must take this with you to the test", therefore I didnt bring my certificate with me and was not allowed to do the test, the boss Steven argued with me that it was my fault and insisted I had to pay for the re-test myself out of my own pocket and that it was my fault, so i decided to finish my course with another company although im now massively out if pocket.

I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how incredible my experience was with Sirens Academy.
Before I started, I had never even sat in an HGV lorry, let alone driven one. I was nervous, overwhelmed, and full of doubt. But from the moment I walked through the doors, the entire team made me feel completely at ease. They treated me with respect, patience, and a level of professionalism that instantly gave me confidence I didn’t know I had.
Every single instructor was not only highly experienced but also genuinely passionate about what they do. They took the time to understand how I learned best, explained everything clearly, and made me feel like I wasn’t just another student—I was someone they believed in. Their support was relentless.
And here’s the best part… I passed my HGV test FIRST TIME and in just 5 days. That’s how good they are.
A very special thank you to Lindsey, who was incredibly kind, endlessly patient, and without a doubt went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Her calm encouragement and unwavering support meant the world to me.
Also a huge shout-out to Stephen, who firmly put me in line (in the best possible way!) and completely shifted my mindset. He showed me a different way of thinking and approaching the road—and honestly, that change in perspective was a game-changer.
Choosing Sirens was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you’re thinking about getting your HGV license—whether you’re a complete beginner like I was or just need a professional team to get you over the line—don’t go anywhere else. These people change lives. They certainly changed mine

great experience from start to finish, fitted in with my tight timeline and around specific dates i could get off work, passed everything first time, very efficient thank you!

Sirens & Alby were fantastic. My C+E practical training was arranged through a broker so I did not know exactly what to expect however upon arrival my instructor Alby was very welcoming, explained what we would be doing each day & offered constant feedback throughout the week in a really constructive manner that did not overwhelm & in a manner that was easy to understand & put into practice.
Thank you

Excellent instructor Khaleed passed with flying colours first time.

Highly recommend

I am so grateful that I chose Sirens Driving Academy in Brill for my Class 1 C+E training. I could honestly not have asked for a better experience than I received from everybody from Sirens that I dealt with. Firstly from Alex, who helped with my initial enquiry and helped me to book my training. I was lucky to have Albie as my instructor and he was a top notch instructor and I could not have asked for better. He helps you in every aspect of the training and goes above and beyond, even giving advise/tips for once you get your licence. Also thanks to Steve for the advise he gave me during the week as well. I have previously done training courses with 3 other companies over different categories and Sirens has been the best by a country mile. I would recommend Sirens to all. You give yourselves the best chance of passing your test if you undergo your training with Sirens. Thanks Guys. Dan R.

I did my driver training with Sirens last year at their training center in Brill. My instructor was Steve and from the very first day he was brilliant. He is experienced and has a lot of patience which helps people who have no experience in driving heavy vehicles. I was a little worried after reading bad experiences from other learner drivers about some training school in my area and I think I got very lucky with Sirens and Steve. Now I'm a class 2 driver, driving around London and other parts of England and I love it. Thanks to Siren and Steve.

Recently passed my C+E driving at Rickmansworth through Sirens Driving Academy Ltd. My experience has been wonderful with them. The training i received from Wayne was very helpful for me to know my weaker areas. Wayne was very encouraging, professional and patient with me. He taught me everything i needed to know to drive safely on road, with the result i passed my test with no minors in the first attempt. I will definitely recommend Sirens Driving Academy and Wayne as an instructor.
Sincere thanks to Wayne, Steve and Julia!!
Thanks

The guys here where all great, specially Steffan & Alby, they dragged me through the test kicking & screaming, all easy to talk too & they’re great instructors, I definitely recommend them to anyone seriously thinking about doing Hgv training, cheers Rob

Friendly and helpful staff. My instructor,Steve made sure that I got to the test well prepared and confident.
Thank you very much,Steve! You are brilliant!

Excellent service, by Sirens Driving Academy.

Julia, was able to add me into a much sooner course, as well as driving Test (in matter of days). Fantastic communication by Julia with prompt responses.

Steven, was my instructor and he was able to identify areas of improvement immediately. He made me feel at ease throughout the course and he kept given me constant feedback, which were really helpful.

I would return to Sirens Driving Academy in a heartbeat and would highly recommend it to anyone!

SDA - Thank You!

Could not thank Sirens Driving Academy enough! Took my Category C1 license and Fitted me in on short notice with a couple of lessons and a test booked all done for me with no struggle. Trained with Paul who was excellent very thorough and gave me confidence throughout covering everything that would come up in the test. Passed first time and would recommend Sirens to anybody looking to do their test! Thanks again

I cannot fault the service & training I received from Julia and Stephen at Sirens. Regardless of whether it was just help with administration, tips on passing the theory test or gaining confidence in my driving ability, these guys approached everything in a friendly and personable manner which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend the service and professionalism from Sirens, it's going to be hard to beat elsewhere!

Really good service from Sirens. Julie was very quick to find me a test slot at short notice and very responsive over text/email.

Paul was a great instructor, very calm and made everything very simple.

Being in a larger car certainly made it easier too - I saw a few other companies using small Golfs or similar which would have been more difficult with the trailer.
