Hughes Driver Training ltd - HGV Training

Started my training here last November, and all I can say is the trainers are top quality, I have had a few people tell me not to go with huges, but I never had a problem with them at all in fact the very opposite I found the trainers to be very patient and understanding and they are all highly trained in training people, they know how to get you driving a class 2 or a class 1 no matter if you have come from a car in a few hours of learning. My contact was matt huges and he was always there to guid me on my course and help me when I had questions if your like me and want a hgv ticket then huges is a really good place to go you will be looked after A shout out to - James who did 80% of my training legend. Thanks huges for my class 1 :)

I have done my class one with this company. I also will and would recommend this training for anyone asking me where to go and get my class one. I had a gentleman called Andy Watton and he was very professional calm patient and clear with full instructions even if sometimes you couldn't grasp things. I can't thank you all enough as a team but a special thanks to andy Watton for his perfect way of training. Many thanks conrad skelhorn

Nightmare from start to finish went through an agency called EasyasHGV I didn't realise this was a third party and I believed they had there own training school, i would have gone direct had i have known as they charged 300 more than going direct. They also chose a driving school that was around 30 miles away from where I live. I was training to do the C+E Test I didn't receive no induction training or a recommended reading list to help me prepare for the course. When I attended for my first day I was not prepared therefore went in blind. I was told on my first day I had to pass the 3a test (reversing, Uncoupling & Recoupling) by the second day after 4 hours training. The trainer was unprofessional slagging me off to the other trainers, he also didn't appear to be bothered or competent to train me, if I was unable to do something he would shout at me and become frustrated. I failed the first test but by some miracle managed to get the reversing right, but made a serious error on uncoupling & recoupling . I was told as I had failed I would need to redo the test. To help me prepare I had to youtube videos where I got better advice on how to guide the trailer during reversing, and felt I finally understood how to do it but only had 2 hours training on day 3 to practise. I was able to successfully reverse the trailer. On the day of the test I was fairly confident but the first test was at whatton and the second test was at Loughbrough. I live in Sheffield an had to drive down their around 60 mile/1hr 20mins away in rush hour traffic I got their slightly late and the trainer again was frustrated about that, and only had time to one practise reverse and managed to get it first time, however when it came to the test I had become so worked up and anxious that I failed the reversing. The trainer then proceeded to tell me there was nothing else he could do to help me. The training cost me 2150 for a four day course. The trainer said I had used all my hours, I worked it out I had 13hrs at the most when it should have been 16hrs. The last day I should have had 4hrs training, I had to drive down the test centre myself using my own diesel, and was only their an hour at most. Whilst at the test centre the trainer was complaining that I had taken someone else's spot to do the test again. The trainer made me feel like I had purposely set out to fail. All in all avoid this company they take your money and don't care if you pass or fail.
