Hughes Driver Training Reviews 

I passed my test today. It wouldn’t have been possible without proper preparation from the trainers in Northampton. A very professional team – I highly recommend them.

Passed my C+E practical driving test today through Hughes and can genuinely say from start to finish everyone I’ve dealt with has been amazingly professional and super helpful with every query, every question and every communication I’ve had with them. They have been on hand at all times to guide me through the lengthy but thorough process and I honestly cannot thank them enough team enough. Of course I need to give a very very special thanks to Heidi, my instructor who has been incredible from day 1 of the training. Incredibly knowledgeable and absolutely spot on with every part of the practical instruction. She doesn’t miss a thing and will not let up if something needs work. Her professionalism, patience, and solid training technique is what got me through and the confidence she inspires is worth every penny! Once again… thank you thank you thank you Heidi… you’re a total legend and will never forget the skills you’ve drilled into me I will always use in my new career!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Scam

I had a very disappointing experience with this company. During my training, their truck broke down for two days, which caused significant delays. Despite this not being my fault, those days were counted as part of my training.

When I asked for the lost training time to be rescheduled, I was told I would need to pay additional money. This was not what had been agreed beforehand. After initially agreeing to certain arrangements, the company later changed its position and asked for more payment.

I feel this was unfair and unprofessional. I would advise others to clarify all terms in writing before booking training with this company.

Steve instructed me on the Class 1 HGV training in Plymouth and I had the best time! I was initially worried about the size of the vehicle but Steve’s attitude with me really made me feel comfortable and his confidence in himself and his past experiences really made for an exceptionally positive experience and understanding relationship to help me feel better and learn in an environment where I could be more confident.
Thank you so much for helping me achieve this life long goal. Simon helped me on my first day in a similar fashion and Jake was very helpful and responsive to emails - so thank you to the whole team at Hughes Driver Training! I’d highly recommend these guys to anyone considering doing any driver training. I loved it!

I picked Hughes to do my class 1. best choice I ever made. from start to finish a great experience. chatting with the instructors in the morning asking any questions you like always answered in a good informed way. nice clean trucks provided. attention to detail from instructor was 10/10. I had the pleasure of spending the week with KEITH. a well humoured gentleman, expert knowledge and guidance. very relaxed and professional. made learning and practising in the truck a breeze with pointers rnat just felt like talking to a mate.

Zara the fearless leader in Northampton was also exceptional, she took me out on my last day and to my test. again so well informed and an amazing attitude and love for the job.

A really good team and experience. cannot recommend enough. 10/10 100% amazing.

Absolutely brilliant instructor adrian made me feel so comfortable and explained everything in great detail so I understood everything and it was a pleasure to be trained by him thanks very much Adrian

At the age of 20 I wanted a new career path to go down, at first I was nervous about doing my class 1, after meeting Darren on the first day he helped me understand that there was nothing at all to worry about, training with Darren through the week he really help me overcome all of the nerves and guided me to passing my class 1 lorry license, thank you Darren and the team at HDT, very much appreciated 👍

I really enjoyed the training experience, Richard was really helpful and taught me well with clear instructions. Got me to pass 1st time with confidence. Absolutely incredible experience and everyone was kind, supportive and helpful.

Amazing experience, very knowledgeable set of teachers. I got to spend time with Richard, Darren & Mark each on the road and without a doubt I can say they know what they’re doing and teaching. The guys a patient and make sure you’re comfortable while learning and give you the feedback you need to hear. 100% will recommend Hughes driving to anyone. Big thank you to my main teacher Richard, amazing instructor.

THE PEOPLE WERE SO COMFORTING AND HELPFUL. TIM, MY INSTRUCTOR, WAS VERY DIRECT BUT STILL MADE ME FEEL AT EASE AND COMFORTABLE. I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANY NEW POTENTIAL DRIVERS.

Upgrading my class 2 to class 1 at alfreton depot with Andy b. He was amazing, really relaxed and great instructor. Would recommend to anyone.

Was with Calvin all through my training, excellent bloke. No faults. Amazing trainer.

Very easy all the way through absolutely no hassle with booking different stages of the journey just answer the phone and they sort everything out. The staff are very friendly and easy to laugh with but also be serious when needed to be I would 1000% recommend Hughes for any one wanting to get their license no matter which one it is

I had a great experience with HDT leeds and successfully passed my C+E licence. A special thank you to Paul, who helped me a lot throughout my training. His teaching style, patience, and professional approach gave me the confidence I needed to pass. I’m very grateful for all his support. Thank you HDT.

The staff (Darren, Richard and Mark) at the coleshill site are absolutely fantastic. Helpful, supportive and kind throughout the whole process, could not have asked for a better team to train me. Passed first time! Special thanks to Darren who was my main instructor, 10/10!

Absolutely amazing support from Heidi couldn’t of done it without her experience and knowledge big thank you to her and would highly recommend taking your training with hughes

My instructor was Steve in Plymouth, and I can’t thank him enough for all his help and support in achieving my C1 licence. I had put this off for a long time because I was so nervous, but Steve was incredibly supportive from the very beginning.
I really appreciated his kind and patient approach, he never once made me feel silly. What started as something I was absolutely dreading actually became something I genuinely enjoyed, thanks to Steve’s encouragement and teaching style.
Thank you, Steve, for helping me take this important step on my paramedic journey! Could not recommend him enough.

I had a very nice experience with this guys, i booked my driving practical and cpc. I had 2 weeks to pay in 2 instalments and Alex was very nice and accept my situation. In 5 days i got my class 1 licence plus CPC card. I really recommend them if you wanna get a professional licence. I was assigned to Leeds site and with an instructor named Dan. He was more than professional with me and helped me with everything i need to drive it safe make me get out from "van mode". :]] All the best guys and thank you for everything.
