1st Approach Transport Ltd: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Garry at 1st Approach Transport is amazing at his job and is very knowledgeable in hgv driving and what is required to pass your test. He was recommended to me by a friend and I wasn't disappointed in the service I received. Garry made me feel at ease the second I sat behind the wheel and started learning to pass my category c test and always provided good instructions and training throughout the week. I would highly recommend him to anyone out there looking to do the same and I will most certainly be booking up with Garry in the future when the time is right to do my artic training. Thank you Garry for all of your help and support with me and getting me up to standard I really appreciate all your time and effort in reaching my goal All the best buddy Shaun best

Fantastic experience: I've just passed my Category C first time without driving faults. I can't praise Gary at 1st Approach enough for his tutoring. I was extremely nervous but he got me through. He is professional, approachable and a very good teacher. The lorry was immaculate, so clean as if it had just left the factory. I didn't at any time feel like I was just another one being processed along a conveyer belt. Definitely highly recommend Gary at 1st Approach..

Negative experience: Not a pleasant experience, not felt good. Found somewhere else!
Not sure why you have put a bad review on my site, because categorically you are not known to my training business and have never trained with me….
Fantastic experience: Past my HGV C first time with Gary. The whole experience from start to finish was impeccable! Gary really knows his stuff and was so helpful in teaching me the ways of driving a lorry. Everything was taught in an easy relaxed way. I can’t recommend 1st Approach enough! I’ll definitely be using Gary when I want to upgrade to my class 1! Thanks again

Thank you Rob
Fantastic experience: A very professional teacher for drivers and I think highly recommended is an understatement. Good communication. Professionalism in every detail and one hundred percent help for everyone who wants to become a professional driver. Full concentration, friendly approach to learning. I do not see a better driving school at the moment, so I recommend it very, very highly and I am confident that it is the best driving school in which I have studied, so if it was possible to give more than 5 stars, I would certainly give 10 stars or more without hesitation . Thank you Garry for his professional approach and I will certainly benefit from learning and help in the future. With all due respect Jacek
Many thanks Jacek

Thanks Seb
Fantastic experience: I passed with them about 13 years ago (LGV C), it took me a few attempts since I couldn`t emergency stop a wagon back then without a (small) skid and some hesitation at junctions :S They helped me through it and after a few re-goes got there in the end and they set me up with a great job which I really enjoyed before moving on to different things. As a company they are very personable and highly recommended. Stopped sending me Crimbo cards which is sad but hope all is still going well
Thank you Paul
Fantastic experience: I passed my test 1st time with the instructor Garry, with just 6 hours tuition! 1st Approach Transport delivered a very professional and attentive course, using immaculate modern vehicles to learn in. My course was tailored to my needs and Garry was even able to book my test in with short notice too. I would highly recommend using 1st Approach for doing c1 driver training.

Fantastic experience: I passed my HGV CAT C test in 1st attempt with 1st Approach,I had Very bad experience(s) with a well renowned company failing many times, I feel myself lucky to meet Mr Garry ,M.D of 1st Approach,He's very professional and a great Instructor,I believe he doesn't work to make money he's there to help you to get your driving skills to meet the standards and pass your test. I liked his brand new automatic truck which helped me a lot to pass my test in 1st attempt with 1st Approach. I highly recommend anyone who's looking for a best training with a best Instructor in a reasonable price. Thank you
Thank you Tooqer
Fantastic experience: Garry is a great and lovely instructor, passed my test easily yesterday. Ignore what the comment says before mine about him not responding etc. He does respond, definitely. His truck is always clean and shiny. Brand new DAF LF! Thank you for teaching me :)
Thank you Jane for your kind words
Negative experience: Very poor in responding to the phone calls, emails or any sort of correspondence.
Hi Sallem, I prefer to deal with my customers directly but sometimes this can be difficult if I am conducting training sessions because its illegal to use the phone while I am instructing... When customers leave a message I will always reply so I am very sorry your call was missed, I have also checked emails and unfortunately there is no record of any email correspondence from you... my business has been trading since 1989 so I'm sorry it didn't work for you in this instance.
