Absolutely professional and aggregated training.
All the staff were really helpful and very patient. Made you feel at ease all the time. Nothing was too much effort for them. I would recommend people to use the bootcamp time and time again.
Fantastic place to learn, staff are friendly and understanding, they have a very human approach and really work hard to get the best out of you, even when it's not going well, they get you through it and do everything they possibly can to get you to pass, can't thank them enough, Mick was fantastic with me. I decided to train with these due to being made redundant. So wanted to up skill and get a profession, 2 weeks after passing and I've already landed a job
They helped me get through a bootcamp and all the instructors were extremely patient and helpful with explaining what to do, taking me down routes that would be on the test and answered any questions I had. I was nervous to start with but Steve (my 3a/3b instructor) helped me stay calm and helped me pass the driving test.
Thanks to everyone for taking time to make me a truck driver. Make shur you lising to what they trying to teach you. All went smoothly...
I’m so happy to share that I passed my driving test on my second attempt, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from Mainstream Bootcamp.
The Zoom session was very informative and helped lay a solid foundation before getting behind the wheel. A special big thank you to my instructor, Ian – he was patient, clear, and genuinely dedicated to helping me improve with every lesson. His calm and encouraging approach made a big difference in building my confidence.
Also, huge thanks to the whole Sittingbourne team – everyone was friendly, supportive, and professional throughout the whole journey.
If you’re looking for a well-structured and supportive path to passing your driving test, I highly recommend Mainstream Bootcamp!
Completed Novice to Cat C+E, completed all sections first time.
Absolutely excellent from start to finish, very informative through out, from the Zoom meetings to all the information provided throughout, highly recommended to anyone thinking of completing any training.
Special thanks to
Sam for getting me through the 3A and Dave on my 3B for all the advice, training and persevering with my silly mistakes through the lessons , I passed first time, testament to how good the instructors are.
Great team, very good instructors that clearly know what the are doing with a great attitude towards all standards of drivers, would highly recommend!
I had both Sam and Dave for my course, both taught me differently, although always with same outcome, Nailed it!
Beautiful experience,very professional team and a big thanks to Steve,fantastic and professional instructor.
From the zoom lessons to driving, my whole experience has been excellent. Russ and James on the zoom lessons were excellent and made them fun to do. All of the instructors are friendly and approachable, serious when needed but keep it light.
Massive thanks to my instructor Ray for getting me through and to Peter Hammond. Would highly recommend these guys to get anyone through their test.

I want through the HGV boot camp with these guys and I can honestly say that it's been a absolute pleasure dealing with these guys in sittingbourne. As long as you listen to the trainers who have so much experience you will get on just fine. Passed my class 2 driving test this morning and im thrilled. Any questions or advice that you find you need, the trainers are all there to help you. Massive respect to Mick Holder, Kev Mcphee and Peter Hammond! Also james stuart and russell with the zoom lessons!
I just done my C license with Mainstream. I would highly recommend Mainstream to everyone. They helped me pass every single test that’s needed for the category C. I would want to thank you to all of the team that helped me through all of this. I would want to thank Kevin my driving instructor. Great instructor!!!
Good advice and great training , I was overwhelmed at first but the trainers got me through it confidently and I achieved a pass first time.
Have just completed the Bootcamp course for my CAT C and can honestly say I've been seriously impressed by the whole Mainstream experience.
The office team are extremely organised / courteous and efficient together with all the trainers (both practical and theory)
Special mention to my CAT C instructor Kevin who was a great help during my practical lessons!!
I have no hesitation in recommending Mainstream to those that are looking to gain their HGV licence!!
Just got my C+E licence through mainstream and the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Everyone at mainstream are laid back and down to earth which made it a really enjoyable experience. The admin team are really helpful as well as all the zoom call instructors and driving instructors. I didn’t just learn how to pass my test but how to improve my overall driving ability. I can’t thank them enough they have set me up for a good future now! Cheers to Dave, Kev, James, Russel, Stuart and anyone else I’ve forgotten
Great team at Sittingbourne,from the office staff to the brilliant instructors and examiners. Put you at ease and pass on their wealth of knowledge.
Special thanks to Kev and Ray for your excellent tutoring and really enjoyed listening to your military stories.
Thanks Mainstream!
Just to say a big thank you to Darren at Leconfield. Had him for 3a and 3b. Fantastic knowledge and thanks to him I got it done. Absolutely first class instruction.
