Having recently taken both my Class 1 & 2 driving qualifications with Data Academy Ltd, I cannot thank them enough for the excellent delivery and presentation of the courses that they provided! An extremely friendly environment at there offices on Scudamore Road and the use of up to date modern vehicles.
I will certainly be recommending them to friends and colleagues who may be considering following in my footsteps or for those that have children who are looking for tuition in future.

Cannot recommend enough

Absolutely brilliant staff, so friendly and helpful! Got me in literally the week after I rang up, training was spot on. Made me feel really comfortable and at ease, didn’t make me feel patronised or stupid at all. Vehicles are all beautifully maintained and clean and shiny (someone definitely takes pride and joy in them and it shows!) I passed first time, I won’t lie and say they’re the cheapest around (but not by much!) but 100% you DEFINITELY get what you pay for with these guys! Spend the extra money, you won’t regret it! Cannot recommend these guys enough✨
