Clear and concise training leading to the test = Desired results.

Instruction was very clear and encouraging. The pace of the course was appropriately challenging without being tiring and I felt very well prepared for my test.

Finally made it am sure the whole stuff now knew me like I was one of them kkkk .. Special thanks to Nick , Dave, Paul , Keith , Steve, Lee and all the office stuff . You gave your all and I appreciate every input you gave.

Absolutely brilliant team at the NDC. Everybody was so supportive and really wanted me to succeed.
The instructors are excellent (and funny). I am really grateful to you (Andy and co.). The office team is fabulous (Sue and Steve, thank you for all the help).

I cannot recommend them highly enough. Should I ever want to drive a London bus or become a HGV driver I would want to train with NDC.

Had my C+E 5 day course, instructor I had was brilliant, patient and understanding. Had very good tips and showed how to position yourself in many different situations. Very good driving school and would recommend for anybody wanting to gain a HGV licence

I’m delighted to say I’ve just passed my PCV test! Huge thanks to my trainer Nick—he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

Nick is patient, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly, breaking down every manoeuvre and rule until I felt fully confident. He gave great feedback, kept me calm, and went above and beyond to make sure I was 100% prepared.

The whole training was professional and focused on safety, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. I would highly recommend Nick and the NDC team to anyone looking to get their licence!

A huge thank you to everyone at NDC, but especially Dave, my instructor for the week. He took me from never having driven a truck to passing first time in only 5 days! He was calm and highly knowledgeable and a credit to the company.
I can highly recommend NDC for your own truck or bus training.

A huge thank you to all of the team at the National Driving Centre. From my initial phone calls with Steve and Susan, my assessment drive with Paul, and my training with Dave, every part of the experience was enjoyable and thorough.
Dave is an excellent instructor, the perfect combination of patience and friendliness, whilst imparting valuable knowledge and all the practical skills necessary to pass the tests.
I also want to give thanks to Roger, the DVSA examiner. He did his very best to calm my test nerves, he provided comprehensive and invaluable feedback, and is a very approachable yet professional person.
I wholeheartedly recommend NDC to anyone considering taking their commercial driving licences. They will do their utmost to help you through every part of the process, they are a great team, and they are committed to guide you every step of the way.

Andy was a great instructor and made the learning process enjoyable whilst passing first time. Everyone in the building was very friendly and booking on to the course was very smooth. Thank you soo much.

Passed my Class 2 first time with NDC — highly recommend.

Great team, clear instructions throughout, and proper test-ready training from day one. The instructors know exactly what the examiners are looking for and keep everything calm and straightforward.

Best advice I can give anyone starting their training: forget everything you think you know from normal driving. Listen to the trainers and follow their system — they’ll guide you into what’s actually test ready.

Big thanks to the whole team 👏🚛

Dave was very helpful and pushed me to do my best thanks a lot Dave best trainers in the game hands down

Friendly and (mostly) patient instructor Paul took me from a lapsed car driver through to passing the D1 in a week. Always very reassuring and got me to a standard where I can drive a minibus confidently and independently.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH NDC HIGLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE WHO WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A LARGE VECHICLE PSV OR HGV ...

VERY GREAT FULL TO HAVE THEM ON MY PATH HELPING ME TO PASS MY C+E
BIG THX TO ANDY AND NDC....

NDC and my instructor Paul planned and delivered an excellent course, from the early activities to do Multiple Choice Theory, Hazzard Perception and Case Study exam preparation through to the challenging and enjoyable time on site, learning practical driving skills including reversing and the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence Module 4.
From Paul's highly experienced approach, I was able to focus on the most important aspects in all parts of the course.
On completion of the last part, the practical. Because I had a faultless test we had fun with a celebratory ring of their bell and they give me a gift as a reward for a 'no-fault' performance.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with "No Gandalf" Paul and the NDC team and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Great, Really friendly & thorough trainers to help you pass your test.

The whole team at NDC Croydon was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. A BIG thank you to Paul my instructor. He was very patient, clear with his instructions and very professional. Every manoeuvre and procedure was taught, explained and performed.
I would highly recommend the Centre to anyone looking to add a Vehicle type onto their License.
Big Thank you to all the staff. Much appreciated.

I passed my Class 1 lorry licence today and had a great experience from start to finish. The whole team were helpful and professional, making the process smooth and straightforward.

A big thank you to Andy, my instructor, who was brilliant throughout. He was patient, clear with his instructions, and always up for a laugh at the same time. His teaching style made everything easy to understand, and I felt fully prepared going into the test.

Couldn't have asked for a better instructor - highly recommend Andy and the team to anyone looking to pass their HGV or bus licence.

Thanks again.

Came in a rookie without Cat C license and after assessment went for Cat C+E1 but didn't quite cut it. This was totally on me as NDC were nothing but supportive and highly professional and was advised to go for Cat C and passed first time. I'll get 6 months or so driving this and I'll be back for my Cat C+E1. Thanks NDC fully recommend these to everyone.

The team at NDC are very helpful and extremely knowledgeable.
With no previous experience at driving a bus or any vehicle of that size, i was taught to drive and get a pass, first time.
The initial assessment of how many days I could learn in was extremely helpful too.
Would definitely recommend.

Very positive experience. Friendly, professional and supportive.
