Specialised HGV Training, one of the Government's BEST Training Initiative.
Specialised HGV Training with the support of Nazmul Hussain who adhered to my every needs put me with a lorry training company Big On Training and it was a great experience. I really enjoyed driving properly and this was down to my driving instructor, Mr Lee Morris, the guy is a very knowledgeable and proficient instructor. I cannot remember the last time when I was so please with my driving as when I was doing my lorry driving test and that is the honest truth.

Excellent service
I have had an excellent experience especially with Ammar Farishta.
He was aware of current situations which were putting my training on hold and he was very understanding and sympathetic towards my issues. This helped me stay the course and want to continue with my training.
Now that things have settled, I am looking forward to passing my tests.
Ammar made sure my hazard perception and multiple choice tests were booked in on days that suited me and sent me all the relevant info.
It's a pleasure working with HGV Specialists and with Ammar as my go-to person, everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
Thank you,
Paul Fleming

Not Honest
I was told the credit check won't impact my credit score. as it is only soft search.. guess what,,, it is a hard search and affected my score 19 points down!

Don't go with this company
Don't go with this company. Do it yourself. Much safer and cheaper.
I went with them got the 3 tries. Went to do the test 1st time, unfo failed.
After that I had to step back due to problem. They keep say we email me to rebook but I assure I didn't get their email. I phone them to say I'm not interested.
Now they keep taking my money because they said they booked it but I didn't receive any email or phone call bout it.
If they want this review to disappear THEY CAN PHONE ME!!!!!

Dear David,
Thank you for your review. We are, of course, disappointed to read your comments. If you have had cause to complain you should contact our customer service team.
Having looked into your training account with us, you completed and undertook your Category C course in January 2019, but you did not wish to take the driving test. You had a Pass Protection which included 2 retests at the driving test, but you did not utilize these. We also tried to book these for you on several occasions, but did not receive any replies from you.
You did, however, gain your CPC qualification.
Please do get in touch if you need anything else, I am more than happy to discuss any issues with you.
Kind regards,
Patricia
