Great HGV course!

Roger was a great tutor who’s really informative at all times. Had a test route change last minute and passed first time. Shows that they don’t just teach you for the routes and that they help you become a better all round driver.

Will truly change your life

What can I say: I have passed my C+E test on the first go. It was extremely pleasant to be instructed by Roger. I’ve never felt to be pushed outside my comfort zone, truck was always ready on time and it was generally very educational experienced. They will truly change your life. Tomasz

Best Training School for HGV😁

Highly Highly Recommend Data Academy, I went straight to Cat C+E from cat B, I have absolutely no regret! the team is absolutely amazing and processed everything for me all i had to do was learn to drive the lorry!

Need an HGV/LGV licence?

I found this company after being given a personal recommendation and despite them being over an hour drive away from me I went to visit them. So glad I did, from my very first assessment drive through to passing my C+E I found them all to be professional, knowledgeable and above all great fun. As a motorcycle instructor for the past 26 years I thought I knew a bit about training (nothing about driving trucks); however, I am pleased to say I also learnt a lot about teaching styles and methods. Whatever instructor I had, who all had their different styles, they pretty quickly cottoned on to my learning style and made sure that they were getting the best out of me. It was a bit strange being the student after all these years, but my experiences go to show that every day is a school day. I will certainly take away not just my new licence but also some useful training tips and techniques that I can utilise. Oh and I should also mention the office staff who excellently catered to my every need, whether that be rearranging dates, assisting with my paperwork, sorting my theory test or even just a friendly chat.

Thanks to all at Data Academy Ltd!

Dorian and the team are absolutely brilliant. Professional training at its best! Trainer Eddie is a great tutor and got me through my Cat C licence and passed with zero faults. Can’t thank them enough and looking forward to my next training with them for Class 1. Cheers Paul Wakelin.

First class instuctors

For anyone looking at getting there HGV licence then these guys and girls should be your first port of call. From the first day to my last the guys were there encouraging me all the way, even when I made mistakes my instructor was reassuring and knowledgeable about what I had done and how best to correct it (special shout out to Rog 👍) Thanks to these guys I now have my C+E and can't wait to get on the road.

I have to tell you my story

I have to tell you my story, I thought one day that maybe it would be nice to become a truck driver!🚚 I knew a company that my friends used. I wrote to them to give me a quote? I was surprised how quickly Dorian spoke to me, it was Sunday 😁, in less than a few weeks I already have my driving license. Thank you very much to each of you 🙏 amazing atmosphere in the office (Dorian story) 😂 thank you very much to my coach Phil for patience, understanding, the guy who prepared me for cpc4 which I passed 😁 although I was a bundle of nerves these people know their stuff, lots of laughter, best regards I will never forget you guys 🤛 I recommend you with all my heart I will miss you and remember you, I also greet the examiner the older guy from DVLA who didn't let me pass the first time, it gave me a kick more stress but he knows what he's doing, he gave me lessons that a professional driver must think without supervisor. Thank you very much again, I would like to meet such people on my way🤝

Data Academy is the best.

Got my HGV class 1 (Artic) license through DATA ACADEMY. They gave me detailed explanations on which license to go for. An option of payment by installment was offered which was very good for most of us that doesn't have a deep pocket. During my practical training, I was engulfed with personal issues which affected my performance. Data Academy and my instructor Roger discovered and kept encouraging me not to give up, He didn't tell me what I would like to hear, he was firm and direct to me which helped me to rediscover my objective. I regained my determination and never gave up. All their instructors are super and very friendly. They will give you the best training, and help you build your confidence. I will recommend Data Academy and give them 5 stars.

If you want to pass your HGV License go no further than Data Academy. They're an absolutely lovely bunch of people. They will sort you out and make you feel like not a single penny of your money is wasted. They make you feel like you're part of the family and it is evident they really care about your journey to being a professional driver.

Great company

Very pleased with my experience at Data Academy. Good people, always there is information and someone available to speak to. My whole course was handled in a professional manner and friendly approach. You always pay for the stage of the course that is coming next, its an honest way to do things. The instructors are good people and experienced, every day driving was a pleasure and stress free. The examiner from DVLA was really nice, i didn't feel any pressure during my test and had a great chat.
I dont regret placing my trust in this company and would recommend to anyone seeking training in the relevant areas
