"I was recommended by a driver to this lgv driving school, and I had a very good experience. I was able to pass my Class 2 first time, with excellent instructors as well. If anyone is wishing to learn to drive lgv, use this school!
More than 5 Stars."
Ursula B
" This place is fantastic !! Great instructors, great office staff, very well organised and well communicated. Previous to using TTA I went to another training company to do my class 2 however when going in for my class 1 I was recommended to use TTA and can not fault the qualified instructors. The experience was a lot better than the other training company. The place has a more friendly feel and put you at ease and the communication from the office team is a lot better organised!
Would like to say a special thanks to Oana, Julie, Jon and Dave for their professionalism throughout. Give this company a try, a must if you are considering doing a course! Thanks again!"
