About

We're a family run training centre based in Abergavenny, South Wales, established in 1969. Over more than five decades we've built up the ability to cater for all categories of vocational driver training, Driver CPC, forklift training and various other industrial and plant machinery training, alongside site safety and working at height courses. Our own training centre hosts a private DVSA test facility, so learners can train and take their test at the same site. We can arrange driver medicals, revision material and theory tests before training begins. Most of our courses can also be delivered on-site at a customer's own premises across the country, with qualifications awarded to an accredited standard or as in-house certification. We accredit our qualifications to several of the UK's leading awarding bodies and offer funding options and free accommodation on driver training courses for learners travelling more than 70 miles.
