He will go at your pace stop for breaks whenever you want to stop, makes you feel so comfortable very professional at his job but can also have a good laugh with him along the way to relax you throughout your time training and make it more fun. All the staff were fantastic, reception helped me with anything I needed help with, replied very quick with any questions via email or phoning them. All the other instructions were really good too, which you will meet when doing your reversing and if you do your CPC with them too. I can not fault East Coast Driver Training at all.

As a newcomer to the UK, it was my first time undergoing driving lessons and exams here, and I'm thrilled to share that I passed my C+E on the first attempt. A huge shoutout to my instructor, Mr. Julian Hurren, who exhibited unwavering patience and professionalism throughout the training. His teaching style not only imparted essential driving skills but also provided me with a wealth of practical knowledge. Julian went above and beyond to ensure I not only mastered the driving skills but also felt supported emotionally throughout the process. Special thanks to Phil and Nick for making the CPC Module 4 a fun and easily digestible learning experience. Their approach contributed significantly to my success in this module. I wholeheartedly recommend East Coast Driver Training Centre to anyone seeking comprehensive and effective driver training. The team's dedication, expertise, and supportive environment truly set them apart. Thank you for a fantastic journey towards obtaining my license!

Fantastic experience: just want to say a massive thank you to all the team at East coast driver training, I've had an excellent time throughout my time there from the 1st call to booking my course to the last day on passing my test. Even though DVLA cancelled my 1st test on the day, the girls in the office danielle and Janice couldn't be anymore apologetic and bend over backwards for me to get me in ASAP as I work away ( the cancellation was completely out of east coast driving training hands ). Anyway now to my instructor I had a man called Lee we hit it off right away to say he was cool calm and collective is an understatement, wich I needed at times as I can be abit of a hot head with other tools on the road lol . Lee seam to calm me down right away, I've been driving for over 25 years but still Lee taught me so much more. lee even went out of his to get me back with him on my test day, I personally couldn't be any more happier with all the staff at East coast driver training, and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of doing any sort of driver tests. so thank you again Stephen xx

I am now a first class HGV driver, with enough confidence to go on the road by myself. I am very grateful to East Coast Driver Training and especially to Lee! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Just had a fantastic week being instructed by Andy, to do counterbalance forklift test. On my first day I was really nervous doing it as I have learning difficulties but I would put it he's straight away. absolutely brilliant place to do your training as nothing is no trouble to them. Many thanks

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend- did my Module 4 Driver CPC with them and passed. Really friendly and relaxed, and they got me a cancellation test so I didn’t have to wait as long. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: These guys are absolutely brilliant, I myself am autistic and I got the help I needed, Great attitude, good quality training, they are an absolute laugh aswel so it's not as overwhelming to do the training because they make you feel relaxed. Absolutely would recommend

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased I chose East Coast Training. I booked through them to do my B+E towing course it went smoothly from start to finish. I got a 2 day training slot about 4 weeks after booking with the test on the afternoon of the 2nd day. I was very surprised with this seeing as we had just come out of the third lockdown and thought there might be a massive waiting list. It was very convenient for me as it fell over a Friday and Saturday which meant less down time from working and not too much juggling with the kids. I couldn't speak highly enough of my instructor Phil he was courteous and very knowledgeable so much so that I think he would be an esteemed Norwich City Tour guide. I felt in safe hands and very confident going into my test so much so that I only got 2 Minors to which I'm incredibly pleased with. I did this course so I could toe a caravan, my wife will come and do the training in the summer we will certainly be booking it with East coast and I will ask if its possible for her to have Phil as well. If you are choosing a company to train with as you can probably see from the review above I would highly recommend this company. Thank you very much James

Fantastic experience: Was an absolute pleasure to learn how to use the counter balance forklift Andy and Phil have got to be the best training staff I’ve worked with made the week so enjoyable top blokes and recommend if u are thinking of doing this course east coast is the best place to go so thanks again Andy and Phil Jamie Clifton aka thumper , jack Jones lol
