Absolutely outstanding experience with Kim Driver Training!

I can’t thank the team enough for helping me pass my Class 1 HGV license first time — and with flying colours! From day one, the instructors were incredibly professional, patient, and knowledgeable. They made every session enjoyable and focused on building my confidence behind the wheel.

The training vehicles were spotless and well-maintained, and the lessons were tailored perfectly to my learning pace. The team went above and beyond to make sure I was fully prepared for the test — not just to pass, but to become a safe, skilled driver for life.

If you’re serious about getting your HGV licence, look no further than Kim Driver Training. Their support, expertise, and encouragement are second to none. I couldn’t have done it without them!
