Passed my class 1 yesterday all thanks to KDT and especially Mark. He is so calm and knowledgeable that I felt at ease the whole 3 days we were on the road together. Mark gave me the right comments at the right time. Kept my 8 wheels on the ground and off the kerbs yet knew when to encourage me enough to gain my confidence without getting over confident. Thank you so much Mark, you’re so passionate about your trade and so generous with your time and knowledge. A big shout also to Steve in his help on the first day to help me through the reversing and uncoupling/coupling procedures… To Kim, Cole and Dave also. You all make a great team. Keep up the great work!

I had a great experience with Kim Driver Training. all the staff were friendly, welcoming, and helped me feel at ease from the moment I arrived. Mark my instructor was professional, calm, and gave clear instructions throughout the test, making the experience much less stressful than I expected. The whole process was well organised and ran on time. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would definitely recommend this test centre to anyone taking their driving test.

A great team of professional instructors. They arranged the training and test times to suit my needs, and I passed Category 2 after one retest. Special thanks to Mark, Steven and Kim for all their help and support. I highly recommend booking directly with Kim Driver Training!

Did my class 2 hgv through Kim driver training and can happily say I’ve passed. Nothing but love for all the employees. From Kim herself and her office staff all extremely nice and welcoming to her driving trainers Dave, Steve and Cole who I cannot fault one bit. They all did there absolute best to make me the best and safest driver possible. If you want a great group to get you on your way to passing your hgv this is the place to go. 100% recommend Kim driver training to anybody nothing but positivity to say about them. Thanks again!!

I recently passed my Class 1 driving test with Dave as my instructor. He was professional, patient, and explained everything clearly. He helped me feel confident and well prepared for the test. Highly recommended!

KDT: Top notch service from start to finish. I’ve used Kim for a few licenses over the past 11 years, for myself and other staff. Rest assured you can always rely on good, consistent, reliable and enjoyable training from KDT. Shout out to my instructor Colin for getting me through with no, and I mean, 0 minors. Colin had good guidance, communication and mentor skills.  Big up to Dave for popping in and out giving me some g’ing up. And Kim, thank you for building such a good, happy company with great people behind it!! It shows from the top down! To summarise; if you want the best (and very reasonably priced as-well) instruction and test. Use Kim driver training. Could not recommend highly enough!
