Everything has been clearly explained and outlined and I feel ready and confident to progress through the training stages.

The process so far has been professional, stress free and very efficient, and I couldn’t ask for a better start. Thanks team!

As an 18-year-old, I am one of the younger people to apply for a course such as this. However I am a keen and careful driver so it is my dream to work in this area once I have the qualifications. I was nervous about approaching Mike with so many questions, but he was really encouraging right from the start. He helped by answering all my questions and explaining every stage so I could understand where I could go. He was also very encouraging in answering my doubts about whether this could be for me at my age. He also explained clearly how this could work out for me in the long term. After going through the medical and starting the learning, he has continued to help me all the way. I am currently on the second stage and so far everything has gone smoothly, thanks to Mike's encouragement and help.

Absolutely outstanding. I originally started with a different company who I broke ties with due to various factors. Since starting with this company it's been amazing I was so supported, they kept communicating regularly and thanks to them I passed my cat c today. I can't say it enough this company is amazing and I can't wait to come back to do the artic class with them in the future
There are not enough star that I would give them but this allows 5. Thank you all for sticking with me, supporting me and getting me to the finishing line

It’s great to hear that you felt supported throughout the whole process and that the team were able to step in quickly whenever anything came up. That’s exactly the experience we aim to deliver, so it’s good to know it came across that way.
I’ll make sure Mike and the rest of the team see your feedback, it means a lot to them.

Start to finish with drive HGV
I’ve recently been working with Drive HGV to gain my license and start my new career. I reached out to the bookings team about 5 months ago and they explained the whole process from start to finish and I can’t fault any part of it. Booking was simple and they provided a theory software for me to use which I could use on my phone or my laptop (I prefer it on my phone but the computer version feels like the actual test).
Once the theory side was complete the team text me and arranged for a call to set up my training hours. For ease they offered that I could use a more local training centre that they work with - this was great as I didn’t have to travel as far.
The trainer was kind and helpful and went above and beyond. I had booked for 20 hours but asked if I needed could I bolt on more which was perfectly fine with them (I didn’t need more) I think I actually had a little more than the 20 hours ( but the Drive Team did say they normally stick to the 20 hours - maybe I was nice Lol).
Once passed the drive team again texted and emailed me a congratulations and then they checked over my CV which, I thought was good but, they completely reformed it and I now don’t know how I ever got a job before, it’s so much better so thank you to Simon for that!
They provided a number of great opportunities for me to apply for and it’s quite clear how dedicated the team are and I could message anytime and they would get back to me pretty fast with an answer.
Big thank you to all of the team and to Simon on the CV front!

Review for Drive HGV
Review for Drive HGV
I recently completed my Class 1 (CE) licence training with Drive HGV and passed my test on 13th February. While I’m pleased to have passed, I feel disappointed with several aspects of the service, particularly where expectations did not match reality.
One of the main reasons I chose Drive HGV was because they advertised support with employment after passing. Shortly after I passed, I was told to email a member of their team who would assist me with getting into work. However, as of today (5th April), I have still not received any response. From my experience, the promise of helping with employment is misleading and has not been fulfilled.
I would strongly advise others to be cautious if job support is a key reason for choosing this company. If you are mainly going to Drive HGV not just for the licence, but for help getting a job afterwards, be aware that this support may not materialise.
Another issue is the driving hours. I paid for 20 hours of training, but it did not feel like I received the full 20 hours of actual driving time. For example, when it came to reversing practice, this had to be shared with other trainees, which further reduced the amount of individual driving time.
Additionally, after passing, there is mention that if you leave a good review, you may receive your money back. Personally, I do not believe this is genuine and it feels more like a tactic to encourage positive reviews rather than a realistic offer.
Overall, while I did achieve my licence, I believe there needs to be far more transparency and honesty, particularly regarding job support and the actual training hours provided.

Thank you for your review, and firstly congratulations on passing your Class 1 (C+E) licence.
We’re really pleased to see you achieved a first-time pass. However, we’re sorry to hear you feel disappointed with the non-training elements of your experience.
In relation to the job support, we have carried out a full internal investigation. We can see that one email was sent to our jobs team on 20th March, however unfortunately this was missed as it landed in our spam folder. We did not receive any follow-up or chase after this, which is disappointing, as we are available 5 days a week via phone, WhatsApp, and your dedicated training advisor, and this could have been quickly resolved had we been contacted again.
We have since reached out to you directly to apologise and to confirm that our job support team remains fully available to assist you with your CV and connecting you with opportunities for your first role as a driver.
Regarding training hours, our courses are structured to deliver the full allocated time. Elements such as reversing are often completed in a shared training environment, which is standard across the industry and allows candidates to observe and learn alongside others. Additional time is built into the training model to account for this, and no concerns were raised with us during your course.
We do take feedback seriously, however we do feel this review does not fully reflect the overall service provided, particularly in supporting you through to a successful first-time pass.
Our team remains on hand, and we would welcome the opportunity to support you further and help you into employment. Please do reach out on 0333 335 5927 or jobs@drivehgv.com
and we will be happy to assist.
Kind regards,
Elliott

Discussion about license
I have discussed my plans of getting the practical test from them. The guy on phone was Michael and he was an absolute professional guy. Helped mean everything that me every single bit and he have offered me a really good price as well. I'm super happy I have my CPC too to be completed. As soon as I will complete it I'm definitely going to choose DRIVE HGV.
