National Driving Centre Reviews 

Great team of professionals. They want to teach you to drive the right way, not just enough to pass your test. Thanks to everyone and more particularly my instructors Paul and Keith

All the staff are very helpful and clearly love what they do which makes it a calming experience

I had a great experience at NDC. Thank you for your efforts Ray and Kiev. I appreciate it.

Friendly staff who put you at ease and were helpful in explaining anything you do not understand.

When i arrived on the first day i was very nervous but when they introduced me to mark and said he’s gonna be my Insturctor for the week I instantly felt more relaxed and calm. Mark was a very nice and honest bloke who made the experience so much more enjoyable and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this company to any one who’s looking at wanting to do it. It’s worth the money 100%. Thank you once again mark for helping me get through the tests and course.

End to end excellence, a highly rewarding experience to pass HGV theory and practical training examination for both Class 1 and 2 heavy goods vehicle qualifications. Excellent instructors complemented by great communication - a well run business built around the learner and designed to deliver test success.
Worth every penny and definitely value for money.

Highly recommend NDC to anyone looking for a professional driving career.

I confess I wasn't expecting to succeed, I feel nervous when I on test.but the instructor gave confidence and knowledge to pass....I'm grateful for the team but especially to Mr Mark who's is amazing mentor....

Attained my reversing, module 4 and practical within 10 days on the course. Very helpful and insightful and some great instructors. Only thing I would say is that teaching styles could be more similar across the board

Passed my Cat D PCV Bus license with NDC. Can’t recommend them more than enough, all are extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Chris was my trainer and it’s very safe to say the guy and teach. I have 1yr of driving experience and he was aware of that, so he gave me tips to understand certain road rulings, he’s strict with your driving but you need it otherwise come exam day it will be a mess. Great bunch of people they are, very welcoming to everyone and I can testify that they can teach everyone to drive whatever you want to. I was able to pass my Cat D test due to Chris’s and the other instructors teaching methods. I was on the 10 day intensive course, safe to say it’s very intense but if you come in with a mindset to learn and adapt you have no issues then. They coached and help me pass my Module 3 and 4(CPC), reversing and driving test. Highly recommend them for everyone wanting to get a Cat D license or any other entitlement.

Started there with a week course to gain my bus license (CAT D). Had a great experience with all the team and my instructor Paul who was brilliant and showing us the ropes. Very in depth and informative lessons that helped us along the way. They made me feel calm and supported even when the nerves were high, we was taught everything in a brilliant manner to put to the test. Would most definitely recommend for any heavy good vehicle/ bus lessons. I will definitely use them again when it’s time to get the next license. Great company and very professional.

I recently completed my HGV training with National Driving Centre, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and incredibly well-organised. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly and supportive, creating a welcoming environment that made learning enjoyable and stress-free.

A special mention has to go to my instructor, Andy, who was nothing short of amazing. He’s an absolute fountain of knowledge when it comes to HGV driving. His calm approach, clear instruction, and wealth of experience made a huge difference to my confidence and ability on the road. Andy was always patient, encouraging, and knew exactly how to tailor the training to get the best out of me.

If you’re considering getting your HGV licence, look no further than National Driving Centre. They are the gold standard in training and will give you everything you need to succeed. Huge thanks again to Andy and the entire team – you’ve helped change my life!

I had an incredible experience! Andy and Keith were my instructors—they were not only funny but also extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Thanks to their excellent guidance, I passed my Class 1 test on the first try with no minors! While I was thrilled to pass, I was also a bit sad because it meant my time with NDC had come to an end. I genuinely wish I could have spent more time there!

Can't say how really great these guys are at getting you prepared to pass your test..
they got all the time for you. And even make the extra time for you.. by all means it's not easy but you couldn't have better instructors . . if you get Paul Dunne . Your Inn 🤘🏾🤘🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

Secure site with great parking. Every instructor and staff member on site is friendly and happy to help without question.
My instructor Mark was incredibly friendly and accommodating from the first second. He exudes a great level of driving confidence and a possible secret love for the industry, which transferred to us as learners.
Professional and thorough, with a good sprinkle of light hearted chat to ease the nerves throughout.
Driving the same vehicle from the start, all the way through to test day really helps the familiarity.

Enrolled for my Cat C licence and without a second thought will use NDC if/when I want to step 'up' to C+E

The experience from start to finish has been amazing. The instructors Paul, Chris and Mark made me feel so comfortable enabling me to enhance my learning through driving. A great team throughout the company, I was made to feel very welcomed and was instantly put at ease with their approach.

Having never driven in or around Croydon they got me through my class 2 driving test and cpc mod 4, I had Paul as my instructor, very good instructor who has loads of local knowledge. Would recommend to anyone looking at getting a professional license

From start to finish with this company I must say was quite a pleasant experience despite (not passing first time). All the staff were incredibly nice, forthcoming and just made me feel very relaxed. To think I came to them with a couple hours of experience but nothing to crazy or even any driving experience in general my instructor, Paul made me feel at ease and his calm yet assertiveness was perfect. Would like to say a huge thank you to Paul and despite actually failing my test twice, I chose not to give up because I came so far with everything that I couldn’t even pull myself to do such a thing. Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Nick I think his name is for taking a picture of me passing when asking him to do, appreciate that mate. I wish NDC the very best for the future and would highly recommend this pace for anyone looking to get your PCV, HGV class 1,2 licences as these guys make it too easy.🫡 Also Sue was a very nice and kind women who was very helpful when looking at option to re-sit my test.

From day one the instructor put me at ease, very professional and no question felt irrelevant and was always answered with great explanation. Everyone at NDC was welcoming and friendly too and the training aids were good too

If you want to be a real professional driver and learn from the best instructors, you should choose NDC. Amazing, friendly, helpful team of experts escorts you during the training.
They are always doing their best. If you do the same, you could proudly ring the bell after the final exam just like me.
Special thanks to Paul - not Gandalf

The entire team were proffessional, friendly and put me at ease. Mark my instructor was personable, knowledgeable and concise with his driving instructions in a manner that helped me relax and elay the anxiety. He helped me to further my driving skills and eliminate my bad habits. A five star rating isn't enough to cover the excellent experience I had and the skills he provided enabling me to pass first time.
