I can’t thank Andy my trainer enough for teaching me and being so patient with me, he taught me more than enough for me to pass. I also can’t thank John and Jaki enough also. They helped me so much through this whole process. If anyone is looking at doing their HGV, I would highly recommend going with Flair LGV training school
Don’t even think about it just do it
I thought it was too good to be true, so I called them up and they invited me down. From that very day they started to process my application for my medical, exams. And it here was no turning back the support that’s needed is second to none. From the staff in the office Jacki and John to the trainers Andy and Andrew. Couldn’t recommend a more affordable and friendly service.
Couldn’t recommend Flair enough
Couldn’t recommend Flair enough. I got messed about by another company after completing my theory and they wanted me to wait 7 weeks to do my practical. I managed to find flair online and spoke to John on the Tuesday. Had my license by next Thursday. Blinding stuff. Had the pleasure of being taught by both instructors Andy and Preme. Both great blokes and gave me the knowledge and confidence to pass with only one minor. If you want your HGV I wouldn’t look elsewhere then flair.

Excellent service very flexible and accommodating . Choose how I wanted to do this over a number of months and there was no problem. Would recommend flair to anyone and I already have. Instructor's are good and the staff in the office are helpful
Fantastic service with a great result
Thank you everyone at Flair for providing everything needed to pass my car to artic course last week, from John and Jaki organising everything to the first class tuition from Prem and Andy.
Effortless (Car to Cat C+E)
That's what it felt like when I went with Flair, from the websites they provide you for your Theory/CPC tests, and to the driving practical where they tell you everything you need to know to pass your test in such short time and to a professional standard.
Thank you to all the staff at Flair for the very positive experience.
Good lorry training place
Good lorry training place, Andy gives me the best tips and skills. I jump from car to class 1. Nice experience. Thanks guys!
Knowledgeable with a wealth of experience
The staff at Flair are very knowledgeable and, when speaking to them, it's clear they have significant experience both in the practical world, driving HGVs for a living, and also in the instructional world. I didn't ask a question that went unanswered and all I needed to pass my test was provided. I would definitely recommend the guys at Flair to anyone looking to do a driving course
Highly recommended
I would highly recommend Flair training. I had Preme for both reversing and driving instruction. He has years and years of experience in the HGV industry and his knowledge is invaluable. I passed first time with 2 minors. Highly recommended and good value.

The training was very good the management will be there to provide very good advice basing on their experience.Staff is well trained however ,shouting at learners when they make mistake must be corrected.,because that will take away all the confidence.
HGV at Flair
From the start of booking the course for HGV class 1 and CPC I knew I got the right team. Andy for the reversing day with Preme for the driving who didn’t go about mistakes made, just you won’t do that again in his calm way. Highly recommend Flair training.
Great training school
Great training school. Made to feel welcome and relaxed very quickly. Both my instructors were ex fire service men.
Great chats to pass the days training.
Coaching skills were on point and direct.
Just what I needed to correct habits. Thanks to John and Andy for your time in cabs.
Also thanks to John and Jackie for keeping me up to date and sending information across.
Found all the study sites a great help and portal easy to navigate. Thanks
HGV C+E
Flair training help me pass my C+E driving test and I’m very glad I choose them. 100% satisfied. Go with them you got nothing to loose. Top instructors 👍👌
Fantastic LGV Training Company
I recently passed my Class 1 licence straight from my car licence on my first attempt, with just 3 minors, thanks to the exceptional training I received from Flair LGV Training! A huge shoutout to my instructor, Preme, who was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. His guidance and expertise made all the difference, especially on test day. I highly recommend the Flair Training LGV Class1 package. They sent you all the info you needed to get through all the tests you needed to do —it was instrumental in helping me pass my theory, CPC, and Hazard Perception. If you want to get your Class 1 licence, Flair LGV Training is the way to go!
A fantastic friendly and experienced service
From the very start I was made to feel at ease with Flair. They're very accommodating and will go at a pace that suits you. If you're ready to go instantly or want to take your time. Even when I failed the hazard and perception test, Jaki phoned me to not only book the test again but give me some advice and encouragement to pass next time. They provide all the materials you need to get you through the theory tests.
I was recommended Flair through a friend, so didn't read any reviews prior. I can see why they have so many 5* reviews.
I did mine over three days and was given great advice and prepared fully by the instructors to make sure I was ready for my test.
I went from car to Cat C+E and would recommend anyone looking to do the same to give Flair a call.
Thank you all again.
Look no further if your after HGV training
Did my class 2 with Flair in 2018 and returned to do my class 1 7 years later
Both time exceptional training giving me everything needed to achieve a first time pass on both occasions.
