AMAZING instructors got me through my truck license first try. Friendly, down to earth people. Special thank you to Andy and Helen who were fab and a good laugh. Highly recommend GS to get you through your licenses. Questions always answered, great communication between all staff and overall a great experience! Thank you!

Fantastic HGV driving experience today with Sean, the instructor. Sean was great with the instructions, and I had the complete 60 minutes in the driver's seat if not more, no verbal lecturing straight to the action!

Had a one hour experience voucher
Had a one hour experience voucher. Large complex to drive the truck around, clean and new ish vehicle. Sean the instructor was very informative and laid back, but could be assertive if he felt you were about to wipe out a lane of cones. He had a lot of patience with my useless attempts at reversing. You get a full hour driving unlike many other companies

Thanks for the brilliant review, David! 🙌
We’re really pleased you enjoyed your one-hour HGV experience — and yes, Sean has the perfect mix of calm guidance and firm steering when needed (especially when cones are at risk! 😄).
Great to hear you appreciated the full hour of driving and our modern vehicles. Reversing’s tough for everyone at first — you did better than you think!
Thanks again for coming down, and we’d love to see you back behind the wheel soon! 🚛

Relaxed. Professional.
Good relaxed staff. Excellent tuition. Lorries are clean and in good condition. Very friendly calm environment to do your training. I had both Sean and Dan as instructors, predominantly Sean. Passed reverse and road tests 1st time. A testament to Sean’s instruction!

Great HGV experience
Had an HGV driving experience today with Sean as the instructor. It was absolutely superb and a wonderful experience driving a 44 ton truck. Sean was a good teacher and very friendly. I recommend this as an experience and also think anyone looking to gain HGV qualifications would do well to talk to GS. Even though the airfield was busier than usual he found interesting routes and places to try manoeuvres and having to navigate the traffic just added to the experience.

Thanks so much, Mark! 🙌
We're really glad you had a superb experience — driving a 44-tonner is no small feat, and it’s great to hear Sean made it both enjoyable and educational. He always goes the extra mile, even when the airfield’s busy, to make sure every minute behind the wheel counts.
Thanks for the recommendation — and if you ever decide to go for your HGV licence, we’d be proud to support you! 🚛👏

If you want to pass your HGV licence on the first attempt with minimal experience or no experience at all. Sean from GS driver training is your guy. The company is full of good, calm, and patient instructors who knows what they are on about. Have had nothing but great experience with them.
