Passed my FLT CB refresher today with Glen. He is a fantastic instructor and his teaching style has a calming effect so I could relax and enjoy the course. Thank you Glen for all your support.
Look no further!
Fantastic experience doing my class 2 training with data academy. Any issues or questions, Dorian delt with promptly and professionally. Big thank you to Phil for guiding me through my first week of driving. Very knowledgeable driver that gave clear and precise instructions when on the road and made me feel at ease when approaching obstacles. Legend! A special thank you to the angelic, young Rachael who provided me with a 5 star ride back to the office. The team wouldn’t be the same without her!

True Customer Care and Service.
Sometimes you come across a company that is just happy to help and advise even though there may not be anything in it for them. Dorian at Data Academy did just that for me by explaining I didn't really need their services at this time but he then went out of his way to point me in the right direction. When my company has other driver training needs Data Academy is my first and only call.

Great Team, very helpful
I have just passed my Cat C and found the team to be really helpful. The instruction was great and gave me the needed help to get me through. Eddie was great in his instruction and really explained things in a very logical method which really helped me. He was always ready to point out areas where I had not quite done things right and this was great because it helped to build up your experience and confidence at the same time. I also found the rest of the team helpful. Always ready to go the extra mile to help. Phil eased me through the CPC mod 4 and Rachel was a real encouragement at the beginning when I was going though my theory exams. I would recommend Data Academy to anyone wanting to take their HGV.
Brilliant
A superb service from start to finish. The guys worked with me to find a solution due to my working pattern and days off, which resulted in them going the extra mile and working a saturday. This was really appreciated.
I made to feel welcome and put at ease, so I wasn't nervous in the areas I was worried about. They broke the processes down step by step so I could successfully pass my B+E first time.
Highly recommended.

They have been excellent right from start. Make u feel comfortable and excellent service. Instructors are quite experienced. I had Eddie and Phil for my driving lessons. Eddie was bit strict with me but it help me get rid of my bad habits of driving. Phil made me more comfortable and ease me in to my driving, just ticking all when I went wrong and reminding my mistakes and make sure I learn from my mistakes and don't repeat them. They will always there if you any questions regarding test or other general questions regarding the vehicles.

Can’t thank Data Academy enough! Communication throughout the whole process was very professional and the instructors were very helpful, would definitely recommend! Needed my C1 for my ambulance technician course and thanks to their help I’m able to start!

Data Academy have been fantastic
B+E 3 day course.
Data Academy have been fantastic.
From picking up the phone knowing nothing about the course and getting friendly helpful people guide to what I need and what they offer. To arriving very nervous on my first day of training to a very friendly instructor (Roger), also in-between lessons and waiting around all the other instructors where helpful and friendly.
The whole team made the experience very easy from start to finish. Would definitely recommend for any course.

Paramedic C1 Training
Really great experience with data academy! - Very professional and they make you feel very relaxed and confident. Quick to sort out tests and keeping me in the loop. Unfortunately I didn't pass first time but data were quick to support me and keeping me in the loop about a second test date. Passed second time with just one minor - brilliant result!

I couldn't recommend enough!
I really couldn’t recommend Data Academy enough. I booked with them to gain my C1 licence in order to start my Ambulance Tech course. Data Academy were very helpful and friendly right from my initial enquiry all the way through to my test. You really are made to feel welcome and at ease. In addition to this, with a few test cancellations along the way due to covid19.. I would also like to highlight how much this company go above and beyond.. after managing to secure an Emergency test due to the nature of my job, Dorian went out of his way to ensure I was ready and felt confident again for my test, we sat in PPE and went through everything again. I’m extremely appreciative of this because he didn’t have to do it at all! I passed first time and I couldn’t thank them enough!

Great team to work with.
They managed to arrange my C1 practical lessons and test within a tight schedule. Learned everything over 2 days of driving and passed first time on day 3, which says it all!

After passing my class C here roughly 5 yrs ago it was finally time to have a pop at C+E and after talking it thru with Dorian, I was armed with the facts and made to feel at ease with my questions answered,.
My weeks training with Phil was well paced and measured, the vehicle excellent.
A well timed peptalk the evening before saw me prepared & practiced for the test.
Can't recommend these people highly enough, and have to say thanks to you all again.
