NDC is the best, everyone were extremely friendly, helpful and professional. I passed my C+E first time with instructor Andy teaching me, he was patient and thought me very well, I already felt confident in driving the C+E by day 2/3 and by day 5 I passed. A very big thank you NDC, 5 Stars not enough 🫶🏾.

I had the best bus training experience with NDC for 1week from 15th December 2025 till 23rd December 2025 and was able to pass my Bus Driving Test first time. Dave was my instructor, he was very kind, calm, patient, very professional in telling me what I was doing wrong during my lesssons and making sure that I corrected my errors as I was driving along. The way Dave taught me to drive a Bus professionally unafraid will stay with me for a long time. I highly recommend NDC to anyone that is interested in becoming a Bus Driver.

From start to finish the staff were warm and friendly. Andy was brilliant he put me at ease and made me feel confident so it was very easy to do the training. Charlotte my test instructor was lovely she put me at ease before setting off so made the test more relaxed. Not to forget the two lovely ladies at reception and all the other staff members it was truly a amazing experience
Thank you guys for helping me get that PASS

From the first day, such a great and kind support, amazing instructors and lots of help towards all your exams. I would very much recommend coming here if you are looking for a change of career or just purely want to have that extra category on your driving license. I have completed my class 2 recently and I already know I’ll try and be back in few months for my CE :).
