Just completed my Class 2 HGV training and couldn’t be happier with the experience. After the first day I wasn’t confident in myself at all and was having doubts, but Jon was patient, professional, and really knows his stuff, he helped build my confidence more and more each day. The company is very professional from the moment you arrive, everything is spot on, not only looks good but is run properly. The training was well structured, and the whole process was smooth and professional from start to finish. I felt fully supported throughout and was given all the guidance I needed to pass, finishing with only 1 driver fault 😁 Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their HGV licence, Class 1 or 2. Top quality training and a great team behind it, Jon, Rob and Steve. Would give more than 5 stars if it was possible. Cheers again, Simon 👍🏻

Hi Simon,

Thank you for the review, and a huge congratulations again on passing your LGV Class 2 last week; especially with just 1 driver fault, that’s a brilliant result! 👏

We’re really pleased to hear how your confidence grew throughout the week. It’s completely normal to have doubts at the start, but credit to you for sticking with it and putting the work in. Jon will be delighted to hear how much of a difference his patience and experience made to your journey.

It’s also great to hear your feedback on the overall setup & how the course is run here at Colson Driver Training. We put a lot of focus into making sure everything is structured, professional, and supportive from start to finish, so it’s fantastic to know that came across.

Thank you as well for the recommendation and the kind words about the whole team, it really does mean a lot to us.

Wishing you all the very best moving forward, Simon!

What an absolute fantastic place for my HGV class 1 license! Honestly from start to finish these guys are absolutely brilliant!! Steve, Rob & John was next to me all the time, calmed me down as I was afraid of the tests. I have Rob for the period of my training and guys what an absolute amazing training with professional but simple explanation all the way through. Anything I was unsure of I just had to ask and boom again professional explanation! These guys are fantastic and I’m happily can say if you want to do your HGV training don’t hesitate to contact Colson driver Training. Absolutely recommend it 100% I done a first time pass but only because I have been showned and teached how or what to do to get to this amazing pass result! These guys don’t even know how thankful I am!! Only thing I missed is that I hasn’t got a picture with Rob after I passed ( I was shaking and in a bit of shock tbh ) so guys give these guys a call and you won’t regret it!! Thanks again to all of YOU at Colson driving Training!! George 🤗🤗

such a fabulous team of guys who are genuinely dedicated to getting you through your test first time. As a female going into a very male heavy environment I felt supported and encouraged the whole time. Thank you especially to Jon my instructor who has made the whole experience really fun and relaxed when my test nerves kicked in. Just an all round lovely team, utterly professional and always there for support and a cuppa. Thank you all for getting me through my Class 2!! :)

A massive thank you to the Steve Rob and John, I initially filled out an online query form to gain my Class 2 but Steve talked me into doing my Class 1 after he realised I held my category D at the time. I spoke with John mainly in passing as he had another student, he always had useful tips for me. Rob was my trainer and honestly he was beyond helpful, super knowledgeable, every question I had he answered without hesitation and it gave me the confidence I needed, I had a couple of bad habits I had to iron out which I did do and again rob remained patient and helpful throughout, I’ll be forever grateful, thank you again.

Class 1 Driver training I recently completed my Class 1 driver training and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team at Colson's Driver Training truly lived up to their name. From day one, the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and highly experienced in their skill set. They explained everything clearly, were patient, and always took the time to make sure I fully understood each part of the training. Their calm and professional approach really helped settle any nerves I had and made me feel completely at ease behind the wheel. Thanks to their excellent guidance and support, I passed my Class 1 test first time! I highly recommend Colson's Driver Training to anyone looking to complete their driver training with confidence and success.

​Absolute Game Changers – The Best in the Business! ​If you are looking to get your HGV C+E license, do yourself a favor and go to Colson Driver Training. ​From day one, the level of professionalism was unmatched. ​Every single day was high-standard. They are thorough, clear, and provide you with every piece of information you could possibly need to smash your test. ​The lads here are truly on a different level. They don't just train you to pass a test; they train you to be a competent driver. I cannot recommend them enough—100% the best choice.

A truly excellent experience completing my Class 1 HGV driver training with Colsons. Having never done anything like this before, at 52yrs old I was taking on a new challenge and proving that anything is possible with the right support. I passed first time and genuinely enjoyed the experience. I was immediately struck by the pride the staff take in the business and the quality of its services. I felt very welcome from the outset, and the invitation to visit the depot and meet Jon, Steve, and Rob before the training was greatly appreciated. It was a thoughtful gesture that put me at ease and highlighted your exemplary customer service. During the training, Jon consistently encouraged me to step beyond my comfort zone and did an excellent job of building my confidence. His authentic style, wise words of advice, and seemingly endless one‑liners helped me to relax, making the experience both highly enjoyable and productive. Stay Safe Team Colson – you are all a credit to the industry and given me renewed respect for the professionalism and skill of HGV drivers.

My review as a student at Colson driver training I can’t thank Colson Driver Training enough for everything they’ve done for me. The whole process was tough, took a lot of effort, and really pushed me at times — but thanks to the support and dedication of the instructors, we got there in the end and I passed. A massive thank you to Rob, John, and Steve for their patience, encouragement, and belief in me when things were hard. Their teaching, support, and commitment made all the difference. We all succeeded in the end, and I’m genuinely grateful for the amazing help and guidance. I’d highly recommend Colson Driver Training to anyone looking to do their HGV.

For all you middle aged Ladies wanting to change career or progress up to Class 1, I couldn't recommend Colson enough. From my first day training (the 3 amigos) Jon, Steve and Rob were so encouraging and welcoming which is so important when you are stepping into unknown territory. With so much experience and knowledge of the trade, I knew these guys would help me through my training and give me the confidence to dust myself down and try again when I failed my practical. As this profession is very male oriented I was apprehensive of the way I'd be received as a female let alone 50ish, but they really supported me through and gave me the tools to pass my practical test (2 minors) finally. HOORAY!!! Rob was my instructor, we had so much banter he was calm, informative and relaxed he didn't even stress reminding me repeatedly to "check left then right Hayley" hahaha such a bad habit that I checked right then left (island manoeuvre). The whole course was well structured and very professional, if you have the dedication and drive to become a HGV driver, Colson are the company to get you through.
