Testimonials
The course was very thorough and the advice and direction offered by all the staff at the Driver Training Centre was excellent. The team there set me up well to add trailer towing to my licence, which has not only made me happy but also my employer. I would definitely recommend the course on offer here!
The caravan towing course at driver training centre was not only necessary but useful. The real driving experience taught me a few things that helped me become a more confident driver when towing a caravan as did the safety procedures we learnt. Passed my test with flying colours.
