Highly recommend, completely hassle free. I went for their 5 day class 2 course.
NDC booked all my theory tests for me on the same day, provided revision materials which was really convenient and easy to use. The revision materials were in line with the questions in the theory tests, almost identical. All helping me pass my theories first time.
They are really flexible and rang me to see if I wanted to move my course forward which was great.
The driving course was really well structured and well planned out. Mark was my instructor for the week, I can’t thank him enough. He was extremely knowledgeable and delivered driving tips clearly making the learning experience enjoyable.
Would 100% return in the future if I decided to go for my class 1 or any other driving pathways.

I booked a three day intensive minibus (D1) course and test with NDC in Croydon. The team at NDC were fantastic in the entire process from helping me fill in all the medical forms needed, offering me a free taster session and booking me in for the test. My instructor was Dave, who was just amazing, really friendly and made me feel confident behind the wheel. The way he delivered the course, building up gradually, providing top tips and moving on to mock tests meant that by the time the test came around I was able to pass first time. Cannot recommend them enough!

It was a nice experience, the team treated me like family. I want to say a big thanks to Steve, Peter, Mark, Shirley and the rest of the team. They were all very helpful and supportive!

Great Experience training with NDC. The assessment session was straight forward and the assessment recommendation was spot on. My trainer Lee was friendly, but very strict. Never let me off for any mistakes, and trained me with focus to learn to drive rather than to cram to pass! I would recommend NDC 100%.

From booking my assessment to my final test the communication from the team has been great. From my assessment to see if I might be able to drive a bus to taking my last test the training, encouragement and feedback has been great. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I would recommend this company to anyone!!

Absolutely AMAZING experience from the get go to the finish ! All the staff were so supportive and extra helpful due to the fact I was so nervous and anxious on the build up to my test ! Everyone there had full faith in me and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them along the way. The course also provide you with booklets with ALL the information you need to guide you along the way !

Had two instructors over two weeks and both were great as well as talking to all other instructors on site, talked to a few and each are very helpful in every way so thanks to all the NDC Croydon team. But a massive thank you to my instructors who got me through both weeks and passed to better myself on the journey I’m on at the moment.

After trying twice to pass my class 2 in FEB and recently i can say the whole team at NBC are the best around and are so easy to deal with.
Its not that scary so just book it!
I got the pass on CPC and Class2 in the end and the total cost will be just a few months work.
Thanks ALL i will return

The whole team at NDC are really invested in what they do. They want you to not just pass your test but to drive well and they teach you this with ease. My lead instructor Dave and top up instructor Mark were very knowledgeable and able to pick up on my driving faults and guide me through how to rectify them with confidence. First time pass!
Toilets could do with a bit of love but being able to train, reverse and test at the same place is a real benefit. The YouTube videos are also really helpful!
