It’s a great company all very friendly and welcoming. I had a really enjoyable experience even though at times it’s stressful but I got my pass at end of my course so many thanks. Special big shout out to my instructor Lee thanks again for all your advice.

Spent the week training with the National Driving Centre, Mark was fantastic, very professional but also very understanding to our needs for the training week.
Plenty of tips and tricks throughout the week and plenty of practise driving the H.G.V s leading to a successful Pass!

From the beginning, the initial assessment with Paul, the office team also managedto move my course from January to November which was fabulous & Andy. They were all spectacular, I passed of course down to the efforts of myself, however Andy everything he stated, how he trained was spot on. I did the C+E 5 day course and I am very pleased. I will most definitely recommend NDC to anyone who would like to up-skill their license.

Having any driving test is an absolute ordeal. Fact. But NDC did make the whole experience much less painful. Dave my instructor was thorough, professional and even patient at the right level. The rest of the guys were perfectly nice and professional too. Will definitely come back for more training in the near future.

Full on 5 stars for NDC. I had a very bad experience with another training provider (EP training) I walk off the cat C course on the second day after being sworn at by the instructor and treat like rubbish after they took the money.
However I contacted NDC explain the situation and the could not be more the opposite, from the first call to the final pass certificate the staff and instructors were accommodating, helpful, friendly, professional and calm. They facilitated an evening course after work to train me. They provided materials to revise for my CPC and practical and at the earliest they could, booked both my practical test and CPC test. Honestly the highest level of training I have been given in terms of driving/riding and would fully fully recommend, there pricing is spot on and more than worth every penny they are no.1 in my opinion and anyone or company looking for a training provider should use them 100%. Thank you all again!!!

I had a really good experience with NDC, from start to end. The staff were really helpful over the phone, with getting the course booked. Told me everything I needed to know, and booked all my theory tests for me. My instructor Paul was really good. He was relaxed, and explained things well. All the other staff were friendly and helpful as well. Passed first time. Would recommend NDC

Firstly, everyone at NDC is friendly and helpful.
I took 2 courses: Cat C and Cat C&E.
Result: 2 instructors, 2 separate driving tests, 2 first-time passes. It doesn't get any better than.
Big thanks to Paul and Keith.
10/10 all day long!

Great company, professional staff. They all make you feel at ease. Totally enjoyed my time with NDC. I was the only female, so I was little worried the would take me serious. But it was the total opposite! It was fantastic, I would totally recommend.

From my initial enquiry NDC staff have been knowledgeable, communicative and provided a positive experience across all aspects of training to attaining my HGV license. Instructor Mark was especially supportive in his delivery of tuition and guidance in a friendly and relaxed environment both on the road and in preparing for the Module 4 assessment

Office staff and instructors are all amazing. You can feel that everyone is working hard for you to succeed. The general atmosphere is so relaxing and it makes your goal feel closer already. I recommend NDC, 100%.

Everyone's main concern was that I must work hard to hit the bull's eye and it definitely worked. Thanks to my instructor Steve and the examiner Steve (different Steve of course).

Decided to go for a career change after taking redundancy.
So glad I choose NDC. The whole team is amazing , supportive and knowledgeable .
I took my class C + CE and passed both first time despite being wrecked with nerves.
The instructors are professional, encouraging and excellent at what they do. They gave tips and advice when needed which helped massively .
Will miss the team as it was very nice learning but also chilling with them over the last 2 weeks.
Can't recommend them enough 10 out of 10

I am only 21 years old and I managed to pass first time on all three tests after having been trained by NDC. I have only driven my little hatchback (never anything bigger) for not even two years and I passed with only three minors. Mark was my instructor and he was exceptional. He is very calm and patient, most importantly I was always able to speak my mind and felt confident to ask any question. I will be back to do the articulated:).

Training at NDC was a great experience with instructor Chris, clear explanations, engaging teaching and good responsiveness to student’s questions, and most importantly training time( driving )

The instructor was so friendly and would give guidance all the way. Was very open and patient to my questions. He always took his time to explain and correct the mistakes. He made me to enjoy my training in a relaxed mood. Thumbs up.
