You can give us a call and speak to any of our experienced team who will be able to guide you on the next step. Either call your local site or our central number is 0330 633 4466
Most of our sites are customer sites which means the DVSA examiners come out to us. This helps you feel prepared knowing you’ve practiced all routes straight from the training sites. For some sites (The HGV School, Green Pass & Leighton Buzzard), your instructor will guide you to the local DVSA Test Centre on test day. Either way you’ll have practiced driving round the areas and many routes throughout your training.
