I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Krishna for his excellent attitude to PCV training. Thanks to Krishna I passed my PCV practical driving test this afternoon. With his professional, straight forward and honest manner he guided me from bouncing across kerbs to competent PCV driver good enough to pass the test. I look forward to completing the final two parts of the CPC and will be in contact accordingly. Once again many thanks to Krishna, he is an asset to your company and the profession.

Just passed my CPC today. I would highly recommend Wallace to anyone looking to get a career as a lorry driver. The instructor I had (Paul) was excellent, and was able to explain the technique of driving in an interesting way. The 3 hour course that they offer to help you get module 4 is well worth doing and prepares you for the last part. The truck I drove was also very good. The automatic handles very well.

Passed yesterday and would just like to give a special thanks to all the wallace team. Every single staff member couldn't help enough, even Mr Wallace himself. Superb company and highly recommended. I was instructed by Jamie McGregor who is also a credit to the company. Super friendly and an extremely good instructor who cares for his students. Will be looking for further training after I get some experience and will not even think about going anywhere else. Thank you guys for making something so stressful seem so easy.

Done hgv 2 and 1 with these guys, passing first time with both.i was guided through every step of the process, and have even gained work through the associated agency in the same office. These guys have the latest kit, the best tutors, and an easy to reach location. Don't be tempted to go for the cheaper option elsewhere: if you're serious about passing your advanced driving course, these guys are who you call.

Passed my HGV class 2 back end of February and my CPC start of May. My instructor Jamie within the Slough training centre was brilliant, his knowledge and passion for teaching was second to known and was a awsome bloke who cared about teaching you to the highest standard and making sure you was ready to pass first time. Wallace are fortunate to have someone of his calibre within their ranks. All the staff i dealt with were fantastic and always kept up to date with everything and always given enpugh notice of tests and training etc. Top company to use i would highly recommend this to anyone looking to take any form of driver training. Can not fault the company from start to finish of my training and tests and support.

Today I passed my C1 test from training with Hanspal from the Wembley site. I can't thank him and Wallace school of transport enough for supporting me through it. Hanspal was so patient and kind to me during our lessons this week. At the start of the week there's no way I would have passed but within a matter of 14 hours driving time I was able to pass with only one minor which was completely my fault. You get much more than your moneys worth with Wallace School of Transport. I'd recommend them to anyone!

I passed my C1 training a few weeks ago with Wallace and their staff were all very helpful - from the office staff to instructors. I originally booked to take my test in Enfield but ended up taking it in Guildford due a problem at the Enfield centre. I was worried at first but the fantastic instructors made me feel comfortable and prepared enough to take my test/drive the van anywhere. Thanks to Terry Wright and David Humphries I was trained well enough to pass my test and am now qualified. I would definitely advise you to ring, couldnt recommend them enough.
