Fantastic experience: Best Instructor and very supportive
Fantastic experience: My instructor Andy Silvester was very knowledgeable and professional. He gave me a lot of confidence and taught me all the skills I needed for the test. I was able to take on the driving test knowing that I could pass it if I just listen carefully and follow his instructions. Thank you again Andy, it was a pleasure learning from you these last few weeks. See you on the road!!!
Fantastic experience: Mick and Howard - the very definition of the dream team! Many thanks for your countless hours of dedicated help and support and for getting me through my tests with no bother. Couldn't ask for anything more. Legends (especially Mick)
Fantastic experience: I was very lucky to have Eddie as my instructor he was very supportive and encouraging. He was extremely patient and calm throughout the whole process. Eddie has a vast wealth of experience which came across during the training. I have never met anyone who knows the roads so well. Karl knew every road and every country lane in Beds, Herts and Bucks. I am so grateful that both Eddie and Karl carried out my training. Wish them all the best for the future.
Fantastic experience: Andy teaches great reference points and explains in short and effective details
Fantastic experience: One of the best moments I have had at Ashington Depot with my instructor who highly trained me to achieve this. Thank you Howards
Fantastic experience: I just wanna give a big thanks to Andy for helping me pass my practical exam. To be honest I don’t think I could have done it without him his teaching methods are just amazing. Hand this man his awards because from the first day I stepped on the bus with him I knew he was gonna get me through this test with a pass, there wasn’t a single doubt in my mind. He was always patient with me and always took his time when teaching me. I really have no idea how this man does it he knows all my strong points when driving and my weaknesses, and when it came to my weaknesses he would make sure to practice it with me and make sure I knew exactly how to do it without any help so I can take the knowledge with me when I am on service. I will also miss sitting in the bus and learning from Andy as he made it so enjoyable and this will be a long lasting great experience. Thank you Andy showing your true abilities and teaching methods as a lead instructor should. Andy THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND.
Fantastic experience: A thoroughly enjoyable experience with top class instruction, made my intensive 2 week course feel like a stroll in the park! Happy days
Fantastic experience: Howard my trainer has been exemplary and his expert tuition has been crucial in success on my course. He has been instrumental in the development of my core skills set which will set me in good stead for the remainder of my driving career. Patient, calm, clear, concise instruction with an ability to identify areas of weakness for development. A true professional passing on his own high driving standards. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and coaching provided in a clear and personable manner. Patience and calm communication delivered in a very understanding way. 10/10
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Andy enough for the incredible support and guidance throughout my training! From day one, he was patient, knowledgeable, and always made me feel at ease behind the wheel. His teaching methods are top-notch, breaking down complex maneuvers into easy-to-understand steps. Thanks to his encouragement and constructive feedback, I felt fully prepared and confident on the day of my driving test. I passed with flying colors, and I owe it all to his dedication and expertise. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn how to drive a PCV vehicle.
Fantastic experience: I had Andy for four days then he had to go away on holiday.but those four days were amazing learnt alot.very clam and polite instructor. Thanks for ur help Andy..... From arshi
Fantastic experience: Highly experienced and motivated instructor Andy Silvester helped me learn a lot during my driving lessons and treat every individual student according to their merits. I have been developing my skills even though I have recently passed my car driving test and having no road experience. Driving a bus with no road experience is very challenging and under his instructions I have gained a lot of road knowledge and getting used to driving a bus. Glad to have him as my instructor as I never felt like a number, but rather a family where everyone is working towards the same goal of becoming a PCV vehicle operator!
Fantastic experience: Mick has been the most fantastic instructor, he has taught me so much, raised my confidence and set me on the right path to my future as a bus driver, so much knowledge and the exact approach I needed, can't thank him enough , looking forward so much to a job I know I will love!
Fantastic experience: Started PCV training with Mick Afendoulis and cannot express enough how great of an instructor he has been from the start to finish. Having not one bit of experience of driving a bus and Micks training with his obvious vast experience and knowledge to less then 3weeks later and passing my PCV Cat D test today. Thanks so much appreciate all the time put in to make sure I got that first time pass. I owe you some Greggs :)
Fantastic experience: Eddie Archer was phenomenal! A true seasoned Instructor with a very high standard of teaching. In-depth knowledge and expertise from a Pro All round great gentleman, would recommended him to anyone all day.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful Team, made sure you were prepared, very helpful, great team to work with. Thanks HGVC
Positive experience: I have had good experience.
Fantastic experience: Andy selvester was my instructor he was amazing put me at ease straight away. Was excellent at telling exactly how to drive the bus and was calm the whole time. 100% the best helped me pass first time
Fantastic experience: Anderson Sylvester was my instructor and I have been handled with 7-8 instructors, I believe Andy is the King of them he has a method to deliver his experience to his trainee he has ways to make them remember and how to do things correctly rather than What other than just keep on driving … he take us to hard route, turnings and roundabouts to make sure we know wot we r doing and how we do. Others just use the luck of practicing by passing the time and learning form their mistakes… Andy doesn't waste time he keep us on road as much as he can we have our break while we r in the bus, n have one break for a main meal.

Negative experience: Avoid this company. You will only get let down over and over again. They will take your money then cancel time and time again until you end up going elsewhere. Extremely disappointed
