Seonaid came to Truck School because of the funding route we have in order for candidates to gain their HGV licence.

Once this was completed, Truck School were in a position to offer her the practical HGV driver training for FREE. Seonaid went ahead and got her medical and theory tests under her belt and then booked in for the practical 3 days of training with the test on day 4. Unfortu

A HUGE congratulations goes out to Jonathan Potter, who took and passed his class 2 driving test with us today. Jon started his driver training with our female HGV instructor, Carlie. However, due to other commitments, we spread the training over Daren and also Mike, who took Jon to his test today. All through the 4 days, each trainer has said how Jon was a very good driver and today was the proof of this as he passed at the FIRST TIME attempt, with only 2 driver faults. The

Congratulations to Emma Pickford, who took and passed her class 2 test this Saturday. It was her second attempt at the test but this time, she really showed that she knew what she was doing. On her first attempt, the examiner had another examiner in the lorry assessing, so there was even more pressure on Emma. In that test, the nerves got the better of her but she re booked and came back for a tiny bit of a refresher on the reversing exercise before going into the test centre

Today saw the end of a week's driver training for Sam Cooper. What a way to finish a course.. Sam managed to pass his class 1 test today with absolutely no faults at all. Sam completed his class 2 training with another training comapny in Bristol. However, they do not do 0% finance like Truck School and so Sam was able to take advantage of this option and he booked his driver training with us. Sam only passed his class 2 test a few weeks ago and we were even a little worried

We paid for Andrews medical, theory and hazard perception tests and also this week of training. An

Luke Carter came to Truck School to start his HGV driver training. Over the past few weeks, Luke has been coming in, updating us on the progress of his theory passes etc. Luke has passed the theory and hazard perception first time and so we arranged for him to come in for his driver training. Luke went out in our Renault 8 speed with the split gear box. This was no problem for Luke and he was able to get to grips with the gearbox easily. 3 days of training and today, he set o

Matt Broome from Radstock, near to Bath and Bristol, took and passed his class 2 driving test on Saturday. Matt is already a bus driver and has plenty of experience in driving those larger vehicles but has not driven the class 2 lorries before. Our head of Truck School, Mike, took Matt out for an assessment drive and between them, they agreed that one and a half days training would be adequate. Our female HGV trainer, Anna took Matt out for his training and they got on really

Congratulations to Nicholas Copp, who took and passed his class 2 driving test this week. Nick already holds a category D (bus) driving licence but he wanted to be able to drive different vehicles and open up more opportunities. Nick was a little nervous, but our instructor, Carlie was able to help him through the training course. Mike, our head of Truck School also completed some training with Nick. Nick had nothing to be worried about as he managed to pass this week at the
