Effortless (Car to Cat C+E)

That's what it felt like when I went with Flair, from the websites they provide you for your Theory/CPC tests, and to the driving practical where they tell you everything you need to know to pass your test in such short time and to a professional standard.

Thank you to all the staff at Flair for the very positive experience.

Knowledgeable with a wealth of experience

The staff at Flair are very knowledgeable and, when speaking to them, it's clear they have significant experience both in the practical world, driving HGVs for a living, and also in the instructional world. I didn't ask a question that went unanswered and all I needed to pass my test was provided. I would definitely recommend the guys at Flair to anyone looking to do a driving course

Highly recommended

I would highly recommend Flair training. I had Preme for both reversing and driving instruction. He has years and years of experience in the HGV industry and his knowledge is invaluable. I passed first time with 2 minors. Highly recommended and good value.

HGV at Flair

From the start of booking the course for HGV class 1 and CPC I knew I got the right team. Andy for the reversing day with Preme for the driving who didn’t go about mistakes made, just you won’t do that again in his calm way. Highly recommend Flair training.

Great chats to pass the days training.
Coaching skills were on point and direct.

Fantastic LGV Training Company


I recently passed my Class 1 licence straight from my car licence on my first attempt, with just 3 minors, thanks to the exceptional training I received from Flair LGV Training! A huge shoutout to my instructor, Preme, who was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. His guidance and expertise made all the difference, especially on test day. I highly recommend the Flair Training LGV Class1 package. They sent you all the info you needed to get through all the tests you needed to do —it was instrumental in helping me pass my theory, CPC, and Hazard Perception. If you want to get your Class 1 licence, Flair LGV Training is the way to go!

A fantastic friendly and experienced service

From the very start I was made to feel at ease with Flair. They're very accommodating and will go at a pace that suits you. If you're ready to go instantly or want to take your time. Even when I failed the hazard and perception test, Jaki phoned me to not only book the test again but give me some advice and encouragement to pass next time. They provide all the materials you need to get you through the theory tests.

I was recommended Flair through a friend, so didn't read any reviews prior. I can see why they have so many 5* reviews.

I did mine over three days and was given great advice and prepared fully by the instructors to make sure I was ready for my test.

I went from car to Cat C+E and would recommend anyone looking to do the same to give Flair a call.

Thank you all again.

Flair are the only option for driver training

The whole team at Flair are amazing.
They were quick to respond to my initial enquiry, and then on the Thursday, they got me booked in for Cat C training and test for the following Monday/Tuesday!
All communication was clear and prompt, and they provided all the support I needed to prepare for the test.
I had a great time driving with John and Stu, I felt really comfortable and they gave such good instruction, so I'm glad I was able to do them justice and pass first time!
I'd never sat behind the wheel of a HGV before, so it really speaks volumes of how great Flair is.
Big thanks to the whole team.

Guaranteed pass first time

My son who's only 18 years old passed his cat c practical test first time with only 2 sessions at flair training. Service was excellent. John and Jackie explained the whole process over the phone in a very polite manner. They reassured us and gave us complete confidence. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to pass first time regardless how far you have to travel, you won't be disappointed. Reasonable priced and guaranteed friendly service from instructors. They have handy links they send via email to keep us updated. Also they gave a special phone call to congratulate you once you passed. Thanks so much flair training for giving us nothing but the best!

Pricing is definitely value for money.

Pricing is definitely value for money.
Reliable and operate with intergrity and professionalism.
Passing my Cat C within my financial budget and the shortest possible time is amazing. Flair Training resourced me with proper training
I am grateful and always will return for my CAT E and related training in due course.
I highly recommend this company as a go to for your HGV CAT C/E or C+E training.

“Pricing is fair and transparent, operate with intergrity

“Pricing is fair and transparent - definitely value for money.”
They are reliable and operate with intergrity.
From passing 3A and 3B C+E with limited financial budget, some of my prerequisite (theory & hazard) almost running out in less than six weeks but Flair Training still managed scheduling me with proper training
I am grateful and will always return for any add-on HGV related training.
I recommend this company as a go to for great HGV training.
