DRIVE HGV Arvostelua 224

As an 18-year-old, I am one of the younger people to apply for a course such as this. However I am a keen and careful driver so it is my dream to work in this area once I have the qualifications. I was nervous about approaching Mike with so many questions, but he was really encouraging right from the start. He helped by answering all my questions and explaining every stage so I could understand where I could go. He was also very encouraging in answering my doubts about whether this could be for me at my age. He also explained clearly how this could work out for me in the long term. After going through the medical and starting the learning, he has continued to help me all the way. I am currently on the second stage and so far everything has gone smoothly, thanks to Mike's encouragement and help.

Very helpful and very understanding

There was a timely response to my inquiries from Mike and he took time to explain the process in great detail. He gave me ample time to to seek further clarification and assured me of his availability should I need it.

I've just started my hgv training and would highly recommend using Drive HGV, they made the process seem so simple in comparison to other companies. All questions and emails are answered in a timely manner.

Great firm to work with, very helpful and friendly, would def use again

Absolutely outstanding. I originally started with a different company who I broke ties with due to various factors. Since starting with this company it's been amazing I was so supported, they kept communicating regularly and thanks to them I passed my cat c today. I can't say it enough this company is amazing and I can't wait to come back to do the artic class with them in the future
There are not enough star that I would give them but this allows 5. Thank you all for sticking with me, supporting me and getting me to the finishing line

Good Afternoon,

I would like to Thank You Mike,
Thank you sir for your Advice, Support and Encouragement.

I look forward to Having more of your Support throughout This course of me Getting on that C+E ladder for my Brighter More opportunities future.

I have only just begun my journey with Drive HGV, but I honestly can’t fault the how easy and clear that it has been.
Faultless process so far

I would like to sincerely thank Elliott, Mike, and the entire team at Drive HGV. From start to finish, they have been absolutely fantastic. They consistently checked in to ensure everything was running smoothly and were always available to offer support and guidance.

Whenever any hurdles arose, they handled them quickly and efficiently, making the whole process completely stress-free. I truly can’t thank them enough for their dedication and professionalism.

I would highly recommend Drive HGV to anyone looking to begin or progress their HGV journey.

I’ve recently been working with Drive HGV to gain my license and start my new career. I reached out to the bookings team about 5 months ago and they explained the whole process from start to finish and I can’t fault any part of it. Booking was simple and they provided a theory software for me to use which I could use on my phone or my laptop (I prefer it on my phone but the computer version feels like the actual test).

Once the theory side was complete the team text me and arranged for a call to set up my training hours. For ease they offered that I could use a more local training centre that they work with - this was great as I didn’t have to travel as far.

The trainer was kind and helpful and went above and beyond. I had booked for 20 hours but asked if I needed could I bolt on more which was perfectly fine with them (I didn’t need more) I think I actually had a little more than the 20 hours ( but the Drive Team did say they normally stick to the 20 hours - maybe I was nice Lol).

Once passed the drive team again texted and emailed me a congratulations and then they checked over my CV which, I thought was good but, they completely reformed it and I now don’t know how I ever got a job before, it’s so much better so thank you to Simon for that!

They provided a number of great opportunities for me to apply for and it’s quite clear how dedicated the team are and I could message anytime and they would get back to me pretty fast with an answer.

Big thank you to all of the team and to Simon on the CV front!

Review for Drive HGV

I recently completed my Class 1 (CE) licence training with Drive HGV and passed my test on 13th February. While I’m pleased to have passed, I feel disappointed with several aspects of the service, particularly where expectations did not match reality.

One of the main reasons I chose Drive HGV was because they advertised support with employment after passing. Shortly after I passed, I was told to email a member of their team who would assist me with getting into work. However, as of today (5th April), I have still not received any response. From my experience, the promise of helping with employment is misleading and has not been fulfilled.

I would strongly advise others to be cautious if job support is a key reason for choosing this company. If you are mainly going to Drive HGV not just for the licence, but for help getting a job afterwards, be aware that this support may not materialise.

Another issue is the driving hours. I paid for 20 hours of training, but it did not feel like I received the full 20 hours of actual driving time. For example, when it came to reversing practice, this had to be shared with other trainees, which further reduced the amount of individual driving time.

Additionally, after passing, there is mention that if you leave a good review, you may receive your money back. Personally, I do not believe this is genuine and it feels more like a tactic to encourage positive reviews rather than a realistic offer.

Overall, while I did achieve my licence, I believe there needs to be far more transparency and honesty, particularly regarding job support and the actual training hours provided.

I have discussed my plans of getting the practical test from them. The guy on phone was Michael and he was an absolute professional guy. Helped mean everything that me every single bit and he have offered me a really good price as well. I'm super happy I have my CPC too to be completed. As soon as I will complete it I'm definitely going to choose DRIVE HGV.

Since I first got in contact with Drive HGV I felt my journey was in safe hands. They made everything clear, and helped me through each stage. They always wished me the best on test days. They were always reachable for any questions I had, and replied quickly.
I would recommend Drive HGV to anyone wanting to start or continue their journeys.
Elliot and Venga (sorry if I spelt your name wrong) have been great through everything.

It all started with just being curious about pricing at first, so I filled in the necessary info and saw the screen that normally fills me with a bit of dread, “One of our team will be in touch shortly”. Usually this is an instant no from me as most of the time you’re met with a pushy, sales type person the other end. A couple of days passed and I got a call from a number I didn’t recognise but answered it just in case. It was DriveHGV. I quickly braced myself for a battle and lots of me saying “not now” and “no thank you’s”. I could honestly not have been more wrong. Mike, the gentleman from DriveHGV was absolutely fantastic with zero pushiness, complete respect for my choices and no sales tactics or guilting you into signing up. We had a great laugh on the phone and he was so incredibly helpful and detailed every aspect of the course/training without hesitation. I felt I was offered complete transparency, so that coupled with the zero pressure and flexibility the company offered, led me to sign up. Excellent first impressions!

Elliot and the rest of the team made the whole journey seemless and effortless keeping you upto date with the process and very proactive in getting you trained
always happy to answer any questions
Many thanks to you all

After reaching out to this company, I was contacted by Mike, who listened to my reasons for wanting my HGV licence and gave me plenty of advice and guidance. Within minutes of signing up to the company I had my medical appointment made and the revision documents for my theory test.

Mike understood the emotional pull I have for doing my licence. I have been able to reach out via WhatsApp when I have questions for him. I am very glad I have chosen this company
