Andrew Silvester is a great instructor who was patient with me the whole time and allowed me to learn at my own pace, leading me to success in my test. It has been a pleasure working with him.

Karl is an excellent instructor, very patient and
confidence-boosting. Karl never gave up on me even when I felt like giving up myself. I would recommend Karl to anyone who wants to learn to bus drive

A complete scam...they don't care about their employees and they make empty promises....it's not worth it. The wages are subpar not accurate.
Terrible company to work for, cheap in terms of wages and even on the expenses when paid to employees. Don't get near them in any capacity,I always had a perfect attitude and conduct, they don't know how to treat their employees. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. You've been warned👍
KEEP AWAY FROM THEM👍

It was a nice experience. Having Sham, Andy and Eddie. They are all good instructors in their own way. I had the first three days of my training with Andy, took me through tough route in Harlow, teaching me all I needed as a PCV driver, which straightened me up before Sham came in. It was a lot of information at the beginning but I appreciate them now 🙂. Sham was my main instructor, he would let me do my thing in a safe manner, telling me what I did wrong as I drive and explain/show me how to do it better next time, and I became more of a confident driver. Eddie took me for a warm up drive before my test, also warmed my soul up with his words of motivation before my test. Thank God I passed. It’s been a pleasure. Thank you.

HGVC have been a great company to work with to complete my C1. They have very good customer service (fast replies and organisation) and were always polite. I had Tony to help me complete my C1 license over a course of 3 days. Tony was very kind and easy to work with. He was patient when making mistakes, reassuring throughout and answering any queries I would have. I am very thankful and appreciative to have had Tony’s help. Thank you Tony for helping me pass! :) Also, thank you to all employees at HGVC who I have dealt with and spoke to throughout this time, you made the experience easier and were lovely to deal with.

I had an excellent experience with my bus driver instructors Eddie and Karl. They were incredibly helpful and patient, making sure I understood every part of the training. Their teaching style was clear and easy to follow, and they gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. They created a supportive learning environment, always encouraging me and answering any questions I had. Thanks to them, I now feel fully prepared and confident behind the wheel. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional and reliable instructors!

I just wanna give a big thanks to Andy for helping me pass my practical exam. To be honest I don’t think I could have done it without him his teaching methods are just amazing. Hand this man his awards because from the first day I stepped on the bus with him I knew he was gonna get me through this test with a pass, there wasn’t a single doubt in my mind. He was always patient with me and always took his time when teaching me. I really have no idea how this man does it he knows all my strong points when driving and my weaknesses, and when it came to my weaknesses he would make sure to practice it with me and make sure I knew exactly how to do it without any help so I can take the knowledge with me when I am on service. I will also miss sitting in the bus and learning from Andy as he made it so enjoyable and this will be a long lasting great experience. Thank you Andy showing your true abilities and teaching methods as a lead instructor should👍🏻. Andy THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND.

I can't thank Andy enough for the incredible support and guidance throughout my training! From day one, he was patient, knowledgeable, and always made me feel at ease behind the wheel. His teaching methods are top-notch, breaking down complex maneuvers into easy-to-understand steps. Thanks to his encouragement and constructive feedback, I felt fully prepared and confident on the day of my driving test. I passed with flying colors, and I owe it all to his dedication and expertise. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn how to drive a PCV vehicle.
