Amongst the learners we have already helped to gain their vocational licence we have experienced a diversity of people some who have achieved against the odds because of their limitations, our PCV Instructor has hands on experience of Autism, and learning difficulties and takes great pride in helping all achieve.
We supply you with a training book/ record of achievement, that you will keep at the end of training. Your prospective employers can look at your training and see what you driven, what your strengths and weak points were and how you overcame them. It could act as a reference.
We can also provide all the necessary study material, advice and help for your theory test. All you need to succeed is to Focus on achieving your goal.
For those who already hold PCV licences and are either new or well established in their careers, we provide specialist courses on night, motorway, defensive and fuel efficient driving.
