Fantastic experience: Sean is a fantastic trainer. Always clam, relaxed and chatty, yet will always point out any faults you might have made, with the correct way of doing it, even if mid sentence regarding something else. Training is done without any pressure and in your own time. I've lots of respect for Sean and his training methods, I highly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Sean is an excellent instructor who is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and patient. I was quite nervous as I had never driven a larger vehicle before, but with Sean's guidance, I passed my test the first time and now feel confident driving on my own. He goes above and beyond to ensure you're fully prepared for your test with consistent feedback.

Lihana Stone-Cochran 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Sean had incredible patience with me, especially due to not having experience driving a vehicle of this size previously. It took a couple of days to get use to, but the 16 hour course was worth it and the price was certainly reasonable. I passed first time and would highly recommend this course to anybody else!

Their clear instructions and constructive feedback helped me improve quickly. Sean is the perfect choice if you're looking for a driving instructor who truly focuses on their student's learning and success!

Lisa Harridine 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Sean from 1st class trainers to anyone considering taking C1 driving lesson's. Sean provided advice and tips on revision apps for passing the theory. He was professional, yet friendly & had sense of humour, which always eases the nerves. The whole experience was faultless.

Ross Woolgar 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Over the last two days I completed the 8 hour course which included my C1 reversing test and C1 road test. I felt very prepared to take the tests thanks to Sean’s training and his level of knowledge. Sean has an actual C1 Mercedes ambulance which you train in from the ambulance trust so made the experience realistic. Sean is a very easy to get on with and there is never silence in the cab which put me at ease. I highly recommend Sean at 1st class trainers. I really enjoyed my time with him.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely 100% would recommend! I passed forster time, considering it took me 4 times to gain my car licence, Sean got me through. Gave me confidence, made it fun and I felt comfortable driving with him

Jeremy Thomas 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Sean is a great teacher and I passed first time under his instruction, would highly recommend!

Ashley Lane 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I did 12 hours of lessons with Sean. And I couldn’t recommend him more. He gives you a relaxed environment and teaches you so much on your lessons. You do get a few breaks in your driving so you don’t over do it which I think is an amazing advantage when learning. Like I’ve said I couldn’t recommend him enough. Please if you’re looking for a c1 instructor book with first class trainers and Sean mills. Especially if you’re looking to join the ambulance service you practice and do your test in a decommissioned ambulance for the authentic feel.

Aimee Carter (Aimee) 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Words cannot describe how incredibly brilliant Sean was! 8 hours of training and passed first time. I’m so glad I didn’t go to anyone else! Truely brilliant teacher and a great laugh!! Thank you Sean!!!!!!

Anneli Giaever-Enger 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Very relaxed environment. Sean was really encouraging, a great teacher and a lovely bloke - I would recommend him to anyone! I did the 12 hours and it was perfect. I wouldn’t have wanted to do any less. Sean was great at calming my nerves before the test and knew the right things to say to give me the confidence. I appreciated what felt like a personalised experience and was able to take breaks when I needed as well as spend more time on parts that I found tricky. Thanks Sean for a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Sean is a fantastic instructor, he was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and professional. I had never driven a larger vehicle before so was very nervous, with Sean’s help I passed my test and feel confident to drive my lorry on my own.

Mike Cowell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Sean was great, very punctual and has a calm and reassuring manner to his training. I felt comfortable and relaxed for both parts of the test. Unfortunately his usual vehicle suffered mechanical problems shortly before our training was due to start, but Sean was able to source a replacement very swiftly so that I did not suffer any inconvenience as a result. I already had experience driving larger vehicles, but with Sean’s guidance I was able to pass both practical parts of the C1 first time, without picking up any minors. Thanks Sean.
