Thankyou to Jim for being a great instructor 2 days with him and I have just passed my class 2 first time with only 3 minors. Thankyou to Gary for allowing this to happen, very friendly and supportive team.
Done my class 1 and 2 I was made to feel comfortable my instructor was very calm and professional I would highly recommend do driver training there.
Passed First time with no minors due to the amazing teaching and guidance from Driver training centre!
I had an excellent experience with the C1 training and assessment. My instructor was really knowledgeable, supportive, and patient throughout the entire course. The training was well organised, engaging, and focused on the skills needed to pass while also building confidence for real-life situations. Thanks to their encouragement and expert teaching, I passed my C1 test with 0 minors! I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to complete their C1 training. Thank you so much for all your support and for making the whole experience such a positive one!

A special thanks goes to my instructor, Jim. His patience is incredible, and his massive depth of experience shines through in his teaching.

Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to review us Jaiden. All the best from DTC.
Done my Class 2 with DTC and very impressed with the experience level of teaching was great I had Jim as my instructor who shared many tips and tricks with myself all of which helped me massively. Process from start to finish was stress free and easy. I even had my test cancelled out of anyone one but the dvsas control and they squeezed me in for a quick refresher a day before the test something they wouldn’t have to have done but they did showing they go above and beyond for their clients and I will be returning here for my Class 1 at some point without a doubt. Cheers Gary and jim:)

I recently completed my HGV training and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the whole process was smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable. A huge thank you to Jim, my instructor, who was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout. He explained everything clearly and made sure I felt confident behind the wheel every step of the way. His calm approach really helped ease any nerves and made a big difference in my learning. Garry, the owner, runs a fantastic school. You can tell he really cares about both his students and the quality of training being delivered. Everything was well organised, and the communication was spot on from day one. I’d highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking to get their HGV licence. Great people, great training, and a great experience all round!

Cat C1

We have vehicles specifically for the purpose of training ambulance drivers. To Become an ambulance driver you will need a minimum of a C1 licence due to the weight of the vehicle you will be driving. When an ambulance is loaded with equipment and patients it often falls between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes.

If you drive for hire and reward you will need to gain PCV entitlement. Hire and reward does not mean if you take fares for any journey, it means if you are paid to drive the minibus or bus as part of your duties. We serve Sussex, Kent and further afield with PCV training.

35 hrs of Periodic Training is required to maintain licence compliance. Training can be taken in blocks of seven hours or as an intensive course.
