Pete was fantastic and explained everything to me during lessons clearly and made every instruction easy to understand, I felt fully prepared for the test. Pete leaves no stone unturned and will answer any questions that you have.
Can't fault the two instructors.they have really good patience. And really easy to get on with. Got me though my test after failing twice. The advice and tips they give you is really good I would recommend them to anyone.
RG Bassett & Sons offer a wide range of training from HGV to first aid and health and safety. My personal experience with the company is completely positive, from the very friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff and training team, to the well kept vehicles and training equipment. I recently passed my Class 2 with them and would love to show my gratitude with a positive review. I had a great week with Ken Williams, a standup guy who really knows his stuff and was an excellent trainer. My thanks also go out to Nick and Terry. Would highly recommend for driver training to anyone who wishes to persue a career in driving heavy goods vehicles. Fantastic team and great people all round!!
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Ken and Nick for their incredible teaching and assistance in helping me pass my Class 2 licence. The hilarious stories Ken shared with me during our road trips were a real highlight! (He's a big fan of bus drivers, haha.) I highly recommend Bassett's for your HGV training. Hopefully, I'll be back to complete my Class 1 soon. Thank you all at Bassett's, and Ken, trust the process with your back! You'll get that 6 hours of sleep one day, haha.
