2nd2None

Its in the name. Professional to a tee, if you want a driving school look no further. The end!
Its in the name!
This Driving School is as it says 2nd2None for both car and HGV driving.
If you are researching which company to use I can highly recommend them.
From the start of the process right to the end this company knows what they are doing.
Their website gives the most info compared to competitors and explains clearly how the process works and how much each module will cost so there are no surprises, through to the efficiency and professionalism of the office and the instructors.
They will give you a link to their knowledge database which has everything you need to pass all the theory, case studies and hazard perception tests.
They are a friendly, approachable, professional and knowledgeable driving school.
Special shout to Glen my HGV instructor who is a natural and definitely in the right job. He knows just when to advise and always has great delivery getting the pertinent information to you at the right time and I never once felt stupid in the learning process. I can do that well enough myself!
You sir are a legend and I can't thank you enough for all the help, advice, commitment and unwavering belief in me hour after hour. Thank you.
Would also like to thank the office staff especially Holly who just knew how to get things done and was always efficient and informative and managed to work around my difficult schedule getting tests, of which there were 5, booked in a very timely fashion even when the DVSA had an examiner retire in the middle of my training and all the slots disappeared overnight without warning. She worked tirelessly to get my tests booked in and managed it. Thank you Holly.
Through 2nd2none I was able to pass all my tests first time and they gave me the confidence to know I could do it even through I was constantly questioning my own abilities.
Professional to a tee, if you need a driving school look no further. The end!
Fantastic Garry
Fantastic. My driving instructor Garry is a 6 foot 4 booming cockney chap. Highly entertaining driving partner and he makes lessons fun.
Garry helped me to pass my automatic test easily first time around. He has lots of rhymes and tips to make the driving technique memorable. Hugely knowledgeable and professional driver.
Amazing, confidence boosting experience
10/10 started as a very nervous anxious driving that had no confidence at all and was very scared about going on the road, ended up passing first time with 5 minors, and with loads and loads of confidence as a bonus, the patience and encouragement of my instructor, James, was amazing and I learnt to enjoy driving in a way I couldn’t have imagined before.
Absolutely amazing
Absolutely amazing instructor steve he was the best for my daughter made her always feel so relaxed would totally recommend
