About Kim Driver Training
I started at Big Wheelers as an Instructor In 2005 after working as a PCV Bus Driver in London and C+E Class 1 Driver around Heathrow, London and the home counties..
I had always wanted to become an Instructor and felt lucky to be given the chance.
Kim Driver Training started in 2008 as I love this profession..
With over 25 years years of Transport experience (the same amount of time continually improving myself), 15 years in the Training Industry and 12 years of operating Kim Driver Training.
I’m still humbled, privileged, and amazed at all the stories, emotions and good people I have had the opportunity to meet and train..
As our business is growing, in June 2021 we have invested in another class 2 HGV. We’re proud of our expanding fleet of training vehicles.
You have our assurance that you will never be just a number to us, your Training Course matters.
We have NEVER been involved with the Brokers schemes and we NEVER will .
This has obviously hindered our growth but we preferred to remain true to ourselves and our customers.
Changes in DVSA Law
DVSA Law has not changed yet so you will still need to pass a Class 2 before you can sit a Class 1. We do not know when the law will change, only that this is due to happen at some point.
When the laws do change:
Class 1 Reversing and uncoupling is still part of the DVSA test, it will be signed off from your instructors, once you have passed this part which is to be known as Module 3a you will then be allowed to sit the DVSA Driving test Module 3B.
You will still need to be able to drive your Class 1 to a good standard to pass your test.
