Fantastic experience: Just passed my class 1 with bowring driver training straight from a car license cracking set of trainers made me feel at ease from day one. Can’t recommend this company enough. Many thanks again to mark, Chris, and Stan for all your help

Chris 2 years ago

Positive experience: I was very happy to pass my class one first time with Bowring. On my first day I was surprised that I was sharing the driving with another student, which personally I didnt mind, however I assumed the training was one to one. It would be nice if the communication prior to the training could be improved, as I had to chase up Bowring to find out my start time. I also didnt realise the training was from 8 until 4pm, which made it a long day and i didnt go prepared on my first day with any lunch. Unfortunately I had to give three stars, because I felt the teaching from the instructor wasn't the best. Despite being a nice guy, I wish that further attention had been given to improve my driving. In particular I struggled with certain corners and roundabouts and I really required someone to coach me better. I believe i was quite lucky to pass first time and I will improve over time. Thanks to the team Bowring.

Stephen Attewell 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant would be an understatement!!. Booking was easy, simple and very pleasent, gentlemen on the phone was very polite, professional and patient. I passed my 3a module during the first couple of days with their instructor Stan, whom i might add was very easy to learn from, very informative and extremely patient as i was very nervous. The examinar for module 3a was professional and very good at their job but in the same token he wasn't making me feel like i wqs under an emmense amount of pressure. Today i passed my CE test on the road with a DVSA examinar and it very well, the credit definately goes to the team at Bowrings Driver Training, i don't think i would have done it without such great support and instruction. Thank you!

Mark Foster 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have just passed my class 1 driving test. This was with no experience other than a car and a LWB van. When i was enquiring on how to become a lorry driver and what steps i need to take, The team at Bowrings gave me free advice on how to go on about becoming a lorry driver. 6 weeks later i did what i had to do and i arranged to get my lessons booked in. I am not going to lie i was scared especially coming from a car to an artic. The instructors guidance and coaching helped me pass my class 1. They know what they are talking about they have years in the game. The trucks are automatic and in good condition which really helps with a vehicle this size. If you put the work in and listen to what the instructors tell you, you will pass. Going from a car to class 1 is scary but if you have the right attitude you will pass it no problem. Id like to thank Dan, stan and aidy for helping me pass.
