Amazing experience, highly recommend

Amazing experience from start to finish, made up with a first time pass. Everyone at the company where extremely professional and supportive, especially Ant who was my main instructor for the course. He helped build my confidence in the vehicle and instructed me throughout as well as offering pointers for going forward in the future. Highly recommend Ultima to anyone. Thanks to everyone and huge thanks to Ant.

Excellent training

It started with a post in Facebook and from a quick chat I was at an induction 2 days after. Kie was great at getting the process started and even after that ensuring that I had all the info I needed.
Ant then took over and was a great teacher who took me through from C to CE in short shrift. Ant made the learning process easy and answered all questions with ease and in detail even elaborating to ensure understanding and embedding learning.
Great experience from start to finish.
Cheers guys!!!

Shambolic from start to finish

Shambolic from start to finish. I had to keep chasing to get tests booked and delay after delay. Would not recommend this company if you are paying for it yourself.
You asked for a review Mark - this is as honest a review I can give.

I did a Class 2 Crash Course w Andy

I did a Class 2 Crash Course with Andy as my instructor (not sure of surname, sorry). I was reluctant at the start but ended up really enjoying the whole experience and Andy played a big part in that so I can only thank him for that.

Tough but very rewarding

Coming from a completely different background with no prior HGV driving experience I found this a very intense course. Every day was mentally challenging but very rewarding at the same time. My instructor Nick was fantastic throughout. He knew exactly how to get his message across and provided ongoing feedback and support which is much needed as confidence is a crucial part of success. Nick knew when to push me further and also when to ease off if he felt we had had a heavy day etc. Overall the course is hard work, intense but wholly rewarding and I wouldn’t have gained my class 1 without Nick’s superb tuition.

Great Training

Recently passed my test with Ultima, had a great time. My instructor Dave, really pushed me with progressively more challenging routes and situations in the build up to the driving test. So much so that the actual test seemed quite easy in comparison. We did really difficult turns and roundabouts over and over again in the build up to the test and on test day it was easier than I thought it would be. All the instructors were friendly and knowledgeable and it was a great experience from start to finish. I now have my license thanks to Ultima!
