Professional Driving at its best.
Even if I had failed my PCV test, I would still write the same review, why, because it would have been my own fault.
Tony Leach my extremely competent and ‘down to earth’ instructor demonstrated, taught and encouraged the most effective approach to driving a passenger carrying vehicle. Tony’s taught the art of driving a long vehicle, lending consideration to multiple road hazards while at the same time providing customers with a most pleasant and comfortable experience in their travels.
Although Tony tell you as it is, his stringent and very serious approach to safe driving is interspersed with humour and and empathy. I felt very comfortable under his tutorage.
In my humble opinion, effective teaching always correlate with the ability to communicate well, I can honestly say that the HGVC instructor Tony Leach has it.
Thanks Tony & HGVC, your input is greatly appreciated.

HGVC instructors are first class!
HGVC instructors are first class. My instructor (Mert) was brilliant. He was very patient, understanding and concise with me. He built up my confidence, and went through thick and thin out of his own time to make me the best bus driver possible. Couldn’t have asked for more from him. I’d recommend HGVC and HGVC only! They won’t disappoint you.
