My instructor was Garth. He was absolutely amazing. The support for doing my bus training a test was fantastic. Highly recommend him a the academy. Thank you
I trained with Anna at the academy and honestly I couldn't recommend it enough! The level of training that Anna supplied was 5 star from beginning to the end the way things were instructed made the whole process very relaxed at at ease. How the programme was laid out was outstanding all of the staff made you feel at home. Anna as a trainer I wouldnt recommend anyone else she made me feel relaxed at ease even if I made a mistake the time was taken to explain and help with the problem on hand and with ths great training i got a pass first timeis
I had a great learning experience at The Academy. My instructor Michael was excellent – very patient, professional and supportive. He made sure I understood everything properly and felt confident before moving on. He was like an older brother who really wants you to succeed. I highly recommend The Academy.
I really enjoyed learning to drive a C Class LGV, both Michael and Garth were excellent instructors, providing extremely helpful and professional guidance, in a friendly manner. A very good experience.
Big thank you to Michael for his time and patience throughout my driving course. He takes the time to explain things clearly and makes everything as easy to understand as possible. Michael talks you through different manoeuvres and turns step by step, which really helps build confidence behind the wheel. He’s easy to get along with, very patient, and a genuinely nice guy all around. Highly recommended! 👌
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! Professional but also made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. Garth and anna where Absolutely brilliant at what they do and explain everything in an easy way to take on board and remember with no stress. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting driver training 110% I've used other companies in the past but no comparison! Thanks guys!!
