I would like to thank all of the team at National Driving Centre and especially to Dave ( best driving Instructor) for helping me gain my Cat C driving licence . And also, as little advice to anyone who wants to be prepared for all the stages, should go to their YouTube page.

My instructors name was Mark and from the first day of my training I felt at home. He was patient and really taught me about the routes and everything I needed to know about passing the test. Overall this company was excellent every member of staff was friendly and made my five day training comfortable which eventually lead to me passing my test and getting my class 2.

My instructor Andy made my experience one I will never forget and something I will always be grateful for.His calm assertive demeanor, mixed with his timely instructions helped to always keep me in check .His greatest asset for me was his timely instructions when you needed it otherwise leaving you to it this made my confidence so much better.alsonif you have a weakness which we all do they work on this until you both know you got the hang of it .please look no further if you're serious about becoming a HGV driver.

I passed my driving test yesterday from the first attempt, and I owe my success to the National Driving Centre in Croydon. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.
The facilities are top-notch, and the staff is incredibly supportive and professional. However, what truly sets this driving centre apart is their outstanding instructor, Mr. Mark.
Mr. Mark is a phenomenal instructor. His teaching methods are clear, concise, and incredibly effective. He has an amazing ability to break down complex driving concepts and explain them in a way that's easy to understand. His patience and dedication to his students are unparalleled, and he goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone is well-prepared for their test.
Thanks to Mr. Mark's guidance and expertise, I felt confident and well-prepared on the day of my test. He truly cares about his students' success and takes pride in helping them achieve their goals.
I highly recommend the National Driving Centre in Croydon to anyone looking to learn to drive and pass their test. Thank you, Mr. Mark, and the entire team at the National Driving Center.

Passed my cat d with 1 minor (which I stupidly got in the last 2 mins of test). Had Dave as my trainer. He was very patient and clear in what was required. If you listen and take on board what is being said you'll pass. Paul took me for a drive on day of test and he really helped calm my nerves. All around a very positive experience.

The staff at the NDC were fantastic in every way! From the professional presentation to the easy to understand training process and in particular the standout member 'Paul D' who helped me accomplish an category C Licence pass at my first attempt after only 4 days intensive training! Totally Faultless process from initial assessment to the test itself.

We have always used NDC to put our scaffolders through their HGV courses, but this time, it was my turn.
I attended NDC for my HGV training, I was nervous, but there was no need to be, everyone is warming and encouraging so you feel at ease, its safe to say these guys know what they are doing.
Thank you all at NDC for getting me a pass, I would highly recommend NDC every time

I trained for my bus licence with NDC and they are very well organised and despite not living locally were helpful prior to starting the course with the initial cpc modules and hazard perception training. My instructor Ray was superb, very knowledgeable and patient and gave positive comments as well constructive advice.
