Fork Lift Truck course... I passed 1st time!
A big thank you to Sophie, Charlie, Alex, John and the whole team at Newcroft for their friendly, cheery, welcoming nature and priceless knowledge. A real 'don't sweat it, it'll be easier than you think' atmosphere, they gave me everything I needed to pass 1st time. Couldn't be happier, I'm now on my way to pursuing a new career. Training only took three days and I received my certificate promptly too - still can't believe it, actually! Cheers, all. I'm one happy customer.
Winding up petition on the gate!!
Arrived for my CPC to find the company to be closed down. No answer on the phones or emails. There were loads of people there for courses but no staff. There was a Winding up petition on the gate!!!

I took it forklift driver course really good company professional for everything
Great friendly and professional
Great friendly and professional from start to finish! Jon the instructor was great and promoted a relaxed atmosphere and really picked up on weaker areas. Rather than the typical this is how you must do it, he looked at how I drove and taught me what I needed in my style of driving. Passed 1st time. Really couldn’t recommend this company enough.
Fantastic training course
Fantastic training course, felt very safe and secure learning to drive the counter balance.
Trainers Luke & John were brilliant and reassuring. Also Sophie was incredibly helpful in setting the course up. Highly reccomend.
Car to class 1 HGV
It was both intense and challenging but enjoyable due to the experience and expert instruction. Really pleased I took up that free test drive and chose to do my training with Newcroft. Every single person I met from first entering the building to taking my test was friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Thank you all.
Went from virgin to pornstar as they say could not be happier :)

Forklift course
I recently finished a forklift course at Newcroft Training, and I can't say enough good things about my instructor Eurico & thanks in large part to Eurico's excellent instructions & incredible training. I now feel confident and well-prepared to operate a forklift safely & efficiently.

I had the privilege of learning from one of the most exceptional instructors I've ever encountered
Eurico Duarte (Rico)-
I had the privilege of learning from one of the most exceptional instructors I've ever encountered. Right from our first training session, it was evident that he possessed not only profound competence but also an extraordinary ability to convey complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner. His teaching approach greatly facilitated my progress during the training period. He didn't hesitate to emphasize the significance of specific procedures and their potential consequences. After just four days of intensive training in telehandler and counterbalance forklift operation, I now feel not only highly proficient but also confident in safely operating these vehicles. I'm certain that I can excel at operating them with ease, even after just a few hours of practice. I really hope I will be working with him next year for when I do my HGV licence.
HGV Class one Training
Newcroft were great to complete my HGV course . John settled the nerves very well and was very informative. There’s always positives with John even if you knew you messed up he made it into positive . All test routes was covered and what and where to watch out for . . Also completed my Mod 4 as well with John who told you every scenario that you need to know .
Every email was responded very quickly as well . I had a cancelled on the day test and Husky booked me I straight away as soon as they could which always helps with confidence. I would recommend newcroft to anyone
