AAAAA++++++ Service

Like to take this opportunity to congratulate and share my gratitude to all the team @ FLAIR Training.
Namely, Preme, and both John, Jackie from the office for their professionalism in handling my booking.
Such pleasant organisational skills and knowledge with managing my training.
Credit to Preme the trainer who calmly and professionally guided me throughout my journey, so a massive THANK YOU to you pal 💯👌.
In addition, I can’t believe the wealth of knowledge they share with you on achieving your end goal, therefore it is a testament to John and his team for the success they endeavour on achieving.
Well done Team FLAIR, keep up the great work 👌 Julesg R

Passed first time due to this company - 100% Recommended

A fantastic company to learn and pass with.

This company was recommended to me by 2 friends which had passed in August 23.

The trainer Prem, is very knowledgeable, calm and friendly, he guided me through my manoeuvres, reverse training and any question I had.

The CPC side of things you have to teach and learn your self via the portal and online learning (use YouTube and books if needed)

The company was very encouraging and helpful, they was able to book me in within 24hrs of calling and my driving started the next day ( I had already passed my, theory, hazard perception and CPC case studies on my own back )

But all of the training from start to finish can be completed with Flair.

I would definitely recommend this company to anyone wanting there HGV training.

My best advice to anyone would be, always listen and go into this with a blank canvas, listen and follow the instructions and you’ll pass first time.

After roughly 14/16hrs of driving I passed first time today.

Many thanks to Prem and Flair for all their help and support.

I wish them all the best for the future.

Sonny.

Amazing from start to finish!

I can't speak highly enough of Flair Training. From the very start of the process I was given perfect helpful information from both Jaki and John, who made the whole process not only flow flawlessly throughout but also with such ease from my side, leaving no stone unturned.

My Class 2 training was with Prem who I also can't speak highly enough. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful whilst also being an absolute gentleman. It was a pleasure to learn from someone so experienced.

Thanks to the whole team at Flair Training! I really do mean it when I say that you made the process a joy to train with you.

I look forward seeing you in the future when I decide to go for my Class 1 Licence...
