A1 Roadcraft

Fantastic experience: I've been to A1 Roadcraft various times over the years, and there is no other company I would recommend more. Forklift: My first experience with A1 Roadcraft was just after the first lockdown. With my work in the entertainment industry, all dried up, I decided to get my Counterbalance ticket. After phoning up and speaking with Deborah, she got me booked in for a 4 day course with Andy. Any questions I had she was able to answer and always a joy to speak to. Andy, my instructor, was brilliant. His teaching style is very black and white, which significantly helps in the way I learn. Driving Lessons: Prior to Covid 19, I was in the process of learning how to drive(Category B). I had an instructor who taught me before the lockdown. Unfortunately, after being told to book a test and that he would get me in for driving lessons again, he decided he didn't want to take the chance of getting Covid. Unfortunately, he made this decision only 3 days prior to my test in Dorchester. Me being in a bit of a panic, I gave Deborah a call, and she worked her magic and got me booked in with Pete. Pete was absolutely brilliant, with me not being behind the wheel for quite a few months. As you can imagine, i was a bit rusty! With short notice, Pete got me test ready and got me through my test. Travelling from Salisbury to Blandford, then to Dorchester. What a star! Towing Training: Fast forward a couple of years, I was asked to tow up to Wales. Given the fact I had never done towing before, I was a bit hesitant. Once again, Deborah saved the day. The same day I was due to go up to Wales, Deborah was able to get me booked in with Andy for a couple hours of training for me to get to grips with it. C+E Training: I've just done my C+E course with A1. As always, Deborah is an absolute star, taking care of everything and running a tight ship. Most of my training was done with Andy, who's is absolutely famnoal. His approach is clear and concise. Whilst also being calm and making you feel at ease. We also had a very good laugh at the same time. Andy also has the patience of a saint, which you definitely need when teaching me! During my course with A1, I had the pleasure of being taught my Bob for a day. Bob is also fantastic. A lovely bloke, very calm, friendly & also a good laugh. I would describe his teaching style as more belt and braces. If there's any remote chance the examiner might not be happy with something, he doesn't want you to do it. Unfortunately, with me driving for 3 years, I've picked up some habits(Palming etc) which he had to try to break out of me. Sorry Bob, you are brilliant. Summary: I would recommend A1 Roadcraft to absolutely anyone who needs any driver training. They don't bite, and you'll enjoy yourself along the way. Multiple members of my team will be coming here for their forklift training without a doubt. I genuinely couldn't thank them enough and I would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Needed a C1 course and test at very short notice. Deborah was very helpful and able to squeeze me at short notice and at a really good rate vs other providers in the area. She also managed to secure a DVSA test, at the A1 training centre, on the last day of the course. The course instructor Andy was a great instructor, very patient and extremely knowledgable - leading me to pass first time straight after the course. Many thanks to the team at A1, I'll definitely be back in the future if I meed additional entitlements.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!
