The Academy

Fantastic experience: Top class training academy

Negative experience: Never had someone of power lie about me EVER until Garry Cairns took me for assessment. Cost me my job and all because he took the hump that I was smith trained and he didn't even know what that was. If you have the misfortune of getting him for that Hendersons job ask for someone else. Total disgrace to Hendersons.

Fantastic experience: Passed Cat C on first run, instructor Stevie was huge help, set out a great atmosphere and method for learning, highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Gareth took me through the trailer towing course. He's good at his job. It was an enjoyable couple of days and a big relief to have passed. Thankyou.

Fantastic experience: Successfully passed my Cat C license first time thanks to The Academy. From my first contact with Garry, preparing for and passing my theory tests to the practical test itself was made so easy by these guys. Very professional set up and all very experienced, everyone was so friendly, great environment to learn in. Special thanks to my instructor Gareth who was so committed to helping me achieve this, absolute professionalism from start to finish. Looking forward to coming back for my C+E test with you. Further review - back to do my Cat C+E with The Academy Nov-21. As with my Cat C & CPC this training was really well organised with safety at the heart of everything we did. Well done guys, especially given the current circumstances we are living in. My instructor Alan Murphy was first class, very professional and his communication was spot on, I knew exactly where I needed to be and what I would be doing even before the course started. From the first day I stepped into the cab Alan was quickly able to determine what my strengths and weaknesses were, his breadth of knowledge and experience was very evident, and he was able to give me clear, concise instruction which really helped my confidence. These guys really set you up for success, so if you are willing to listen and learn there is nothing stopping you. Special thanks to Jen for helping me out with one particular area as well, it was a great help. As with any test days there are the usual nerves but as with my Cat C test previously, I really looked forward to test day, mainly as a result of how well The Academy manage this. Yes I turned up with the usual nerves but Alan and the rest of the Academy team who were there on test day really create a very relaxed atmosphere, from the pre-test fine tuning to the craic whilst you wait for your test to start, it really helps put you at ease. To summarise, The Academy have taken me from complete novice to first time pass on Cat C, CPC & Cat C+E. Thanks to my instructors Alan, Gareth and the whole Academy team for helping me to realise this goal. If you are looking for this kind of training then I really don't think you need to look any further, give them a call, glad I did!

Fantastic experience: Passed my Cat C test today (13/12/21). Many thanks to my instructor, Steve, or all his help and support. Fantastic service and highly recommended for anyone considering driver training. See you in a few weeks for my C+E.

Fantastic experience: I passed my Class C licence first time thanks to The Academy. From my initial contact with Garry, the process was smooth and hassle free throughout. I would like to give special mention to my instructor Jennifer who was extremely professional, knowledgeable and supportive throughout. Everything was explained in great detail and she always had a useful answer or guidance for anything I was unsure of. I could not have achieved my test pass without her. Big thanks again! Scott H.

Fantastic experience: I spent a week training with Henderson’s Academy and they helped me get my Class 2 license. I can only speak highly of my experience with them and my trainer. Very informative, relaxed atmosphere that allows you to perform at your best and get your driving up to test standard. I would recommend Henderson's to anyone looking to do training and get a new license.
