Driver training

I had a great experience throughout my driver training. My instructor, Anthony, was fantastic—I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He made the learning process both enjoyable and highly constructive, which really helped build my confidence behind the wheel.

Finished my car to class 1 training

Finished my car to class 1 training , and passed my test today with only 2 minors, if you get Ant as a instructor then you have nothing to afraid of, he’s willing to teach you and he will give you the time and training that you need to get you a pass , he’s a great guy and knows how to train properly , I would deffo recommend ultima for your lessons and Ant being the instructor. Top stuff !

Just pass my Class 1…

I had a great experience with Class 1 training. Huge thanks to Ant, who was an excellent trainer. He is very professional, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Ant explained everything clearly, and helped me build confidence behind the wheel.
Thanks to his guidance and support, I was able to pass my exam.
I would highly recommend this training company and especially Ant to anyone preparing for their Class 1 practical test.

Avoid this driving school at all costs!

I would not recommend this driving school. My experience was very frustrating.

• Administrative issues: Appointments were repeatedly booked incorrectly, and responses to emails and calls were very slow. After I failed my driving test, I was told to wait for a callback that never happened.

• Inconsistent instructors: Some were temporary staff, leading to a lack of continuity. Classes sometimes ended early, and teaching quality varied significantly.

• Student care: It felt like the school prioritizes revenue and packed schedules over students’ learning and support.

Overall, the service was disorganized, and I had to switch to another driving school to continue my lessons and retest.

I just passed my Class 1 C+E first time

I just passed my Class 1 C+E first time thanks to Ultima on one of their 8 day courses.
Fantastic friendly staff from the guys n girls in the office to the training staff. My main instructor, Paul made learning very easy with his calm and thorough training style which prepares you easily for your test.
Ultima organised everything from my medical to theory tests, reversing & driving tests and CPC.
If you're looking for a training school, look no further.
These guys were training everyone from ambulance staff to Class 1 artics.
10/10 highly recommend, super friendly driver training school.

Passed My Car to Class 1 with Ultima…

Passed My Car to Class 1 with Ultima Outstanding Support from Nick and Team

I trained with Ultima for my Car to Class 1 licence and had a really positive experience. I want to give a special mention to Nick, who was absolutely outstanding throughout the whole process. He explained every little detail with patience and made sure I fully understood everything. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared he messaged me outside of work hours to check if I needed help and even rang me before my test day to make sure I was confident and clear on everything. That kind of dedication means a

A big thank you to Jess in the office and the rest of the office staff who was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. She dealt with everything efficiently and went out of her way to change my dates and times to suit my schedule, which made things so much easier for me. Her communication was clear and friendly, and she really made the process smooth from start to finish.

I also worked with Ross on my test day his way of explaining with pen and paper was really effective and helped things click. Ant and John (who covered for three days) also gave me useful tips and guidance. At first, I wasn’t too keen on swapping instructors, but in the end, it worked out well I got different experiences and picked up something useful from each of them.

That said, Nick definitely stood out the most. His professionalism, experience, and the support he gave me throughout the course made a huge difference. He really should be appreciated and given credit by the company trainers like him are hard to find and make a big impact on students.

Thanks to the whole team at Ultima I passed my test and feel fully prepared. I’d definitely recommend them especially Nick!
