Everyone I have been in contact with at Wetherby training has been so welcoming and friendly. Laurie managed to get me booked in so quickly and his communication via email was quick and prompt.

Thanks Christian, you did very well, after being let down by your initial training provider, we stepped in and you now have a well earned HGV Class 1 Driving Licence.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructors, Jeff and Jeff Jr, gave me everything and much more to pass my class1 test. Definitely recommending.
Thanks, so pleased you got a great result!
Negative experience: Absolutely waste of money and time. Laurie sells fake promises that he doesn’t keep. Came a long way to do his course and had taken a deposit. Upon arrival started requesting more money then we had agreed and pushed dates 4 months ahead then promised. KEEP AWAY!!
Sorry Dan that you felt the need to create this fake review, after I wouldn’t sell my car to you for the price you wanted. By making this fake review you put the livelihoods of 4 instructors at risk, only for the fact that you wouldn’t pay the asking price for used Volvo V90 at £16,000. Hopefully with the £14,700 you did have to spend you have found a car to enjoy buying.
Fantastic experience: Very great time, friendly team and relaxed, thanks Tim and Laurie for the forklift training. Highly recommended is Weatherby training. Thanks again.
Thanks Charlton, was a pleasure helping you pass the forklift test, you even got a clean sheet.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional company fantastic HGV trainers who really know their stuff and help throughout the whole process. Laurie is a professional on detail Robert and Sean have got 4 of us through the class 1 the instructors who trained us have been fantastic. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you again.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed the process of gaining your HGV Licence!
Fantastic experience: Great place if you want to pass your CPC module 4. Very quick with no hassle whatsoever. Cheers Rob

Fantastic experience: Laurie and his team esp Jeff have been absolutely wonderful to me. Laurie has been great to communicate with before attending the training which for me is important.

Fantastic experience: So what can I say, I'd like to thank Laurie and Jeff M @ Wetherby Training for their time and giving me the opertunity to do my C1+E. I'd never driven anything like it on the road and managed to pass within 1 and half days of being behind the wheel! The lads at wetherby training are second to non, I could not reccomend wetherby training enough, and what they do for you, it doesn't come across like a business, they've offered endless help and actually have a personal interest in your success! I initially went for my C2 but they reccomended and accomodated to the fact i should just do my C1+E, and they made that happen! Thanks everyone there!

Fantastic experience: If only there was an option for more stars! 5 stars are not enough! My instructor was Rob. Rob was amazing from start to finish. An absolute legend who knows his job! When I was going wrong, he worked on my mistakes and drilled the correct way of doing things into me but without losing his temper and made me feel at ease and confident all the way through from start to finish! It was an amazing experience and all the guys I met at Wetherby training were all great people! Thank you so much! You are all true professionals! Not the cheapest around, and not the most expensive, but the cheapest isn’t always the best value! Go with Wetherby training! I’m glad I did! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks, Rob is great. Well done passing your HGV Training.
Fantastic experience: Having just passed my test I would highly recommend Wetherby Training to anyone wanting to gain their HGV license. They are a friendly and helpful bunch who helped me every step of the way. After four days of training I felt ready and confident for the test. A big thank you to Jeff M for his excellent training, he’s a great guy and put me at ease from the first minute and delivered thorough but relaxed training and he went the extra mile.
Thanks, glad you passed your HGV Training.
Fantastic experience: Great staff, Wonderful course. Ps Have not forgot your shopping list.
Thanks, glad you passed your Forklift Training.
Fantastic experience: Attended a refresher lesson with Jeff M. Just wanted to say, he's a brilliant instructor, really put me at ease and he helped me get my confidence back after not driving a truck in about 8 years. In this world, there's plenty of people who are knowledgeable, but it doesn't mean they are able to convey that knowledge effectively. Being a good teacher is a skill in itself. I was 40 mind late from having to change a flat tire on my car that morning, and I thought I would have less time because of this, but he also made sure I got the full time I had paid for, staying later for me (not everyone would've done this). We went through road driving, trailer coupling and reversing maneuvers on the nearby airfield and I thoroughly enjoyed the day, coming away feeling very confident in my ability to work with a C+E vehicle safely and professionally. Thankyou Jeff! Andrew E
Thanks Andrew, thats great feedback!
Fantastic experience: Great service from start to finish - help in getting my medical booked, guidance on getting through my theory and hazard awareness test, and exceptional tuition from Geff Martin! A great experience. Thank you very much team Wetherby Training !

Fantastic experience: The instructors here are excellent. They are able to teach and inspire confidence at the same time. I would highly recommend this school, it is more expensive than some be cheaper than others, be confident that it is money well spent. Their vehicles are also in excellent condition.

Thanks Wayne, glad you passed your HGV Training

Fantastic experience: thankyou wetherby training for helping me pass my class 1 first time. All the staff here are very friendly knowledgeable and the training is second to none delivered in a proffesional manner. All easy to talk to instructors. put you at ease Geoff m, was my instructor, he reassured me every step of the way. I Would highly recommend also the cheapest in the area so win win.
Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic friendly and knowledgeable group. Passed my C+E first time with Jeff M. In 2 and a bit days. Definitely would recommend using this company.
Thanks Chris, really appreciated - we have a good team.
Fantastic experience: To start the lads at this place made me feel welcomed from day 1 great bunch of people. My instructor was my man Jeff M, what a top notch lad had a great laugh with him but most important he taught me the skills I needed to progress my career. The lessons were top quality and professional which helped me progress from having zero confidence driving a hgv to passing my test with minimal errors and feeling confident driving unsupervised. So again thanks to Jeff, Jeff, Rob and Tim for all the support and for making me feel welcomed (sorry if I got any names wrong) For anyone reading this review I had to travel over a hour to get here and I do it all again.
Thanks Dominic, glad it was worth it!
Fantastic experience: Only 5 stars. These's go to the team at Wetherby Training. Great guys. The other 5 stars go to my trainer Jeff M. He got me from Car to C+E in 4 days. ( really 3 1/2 my test was at 2.15). Thanks Jeff. Great encouragement, Direction even when i did have to go backwards and made the training enjoyable. Loved it. Should have done it years ago. Keep up the golfing you'll get the swing off it. See you shortly for the mod 4. Couldn't thank you all enough. Dave M.
Thanks!
Fantastic experience: After phoning around for a few weeks, I chose to book with Laurie and Wetherby training. Laurie is very knowledgeable and was able to advise me how to go about booking the whole process from applying for the license to practical c+e test. He spent a long time chatting to me before I had booked. Great experience, throughly enjoyed my whole course with Jeff M and meeting the other trainers and learners, I think I have made friends for life and will be back to freshen up when needed! Thanks again Matt
Cheers Matt!
Negative experience: Good set of instructors who got me through my test but organisationally it’s all over the place. I couldn’t get my MOD 4 completed when I did my driving because their instructor was off poorly, which is understandable and they told me I could come back one Saturday to complete. They then told me that Saturdays weren’t an option, so I took time off work and booked in on a Friday afternoon. I received no correspondence (other than an email that couldn’t be opened, this is a theme) and arrived at the time stated. I was not told to bring my case study pass with me and was then informed I couldn’t do my MOD 4 without proof of the pass, even though I’d provided it when I did my driving. The instructions informed me that if I could get it emailed over then that would be acceptable, which I did. We then discovered that the printer in their office doesn’t actually work and he needed a physical copy in his hand. I took an afternoon off work, it was over a 2 hour round trip and I’m no closer to being able to drive LGVs than I was at the beginning of March when I took my test.
Very sorry to hear that you couldn’t take your CPC Module 4 with us due to not being aware that you needed to bring your Module 2 Theory Pass Certificate with you. Please contact us and we will arrange to carry out your Module 4 CPC test free of charge.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend these guys absolutely top class, Jeff B was my trainer and managed to get me thru my class 1 test with only 3 faults couldn’t recommend them enough
Thanks James!
Fantastic experience: Excellent Training school. Staff are very relaxed, and patient. Extremely informative and knowledgeable. Loved the Training, and passed 1st time. Don't go anywhere else!
Thanks! Glad you got on really well.
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable, experienced and friendly team. Highly recommended.
Thanks, glad you got on well and passed first time.
Fantastic experience: Passed with these guys a couple of weeks ago for the arctic, literally everyone that was there when i was there passed and ive been checking weekly on facebook and there passrate is really good, they are the best around for class 1 training, the best bit is they have an airfield so there is ample of room to do the reversing , uncoupling and coupling up in a really relaxed way with no pressure, the routes for the test centre are nice and easy as well and the vehicles are newer vehicles so theyre easier to drive with them being all automatic and hillstart to go with it, all those bits with there training will deffo guarantee you a pass, theyre good, many thanks to Laurie for sorting it all out for me and to Rob my instructor for making it a doddle for me to pass.
Thats Great!
Fantastic experience: Passed my c+e with weatherby training today what a great set of guys very knowlageable And professional the training the guys provide is amazing
