Craig Baker Driver Training (Nationwide HGV & PCV Training) Recensioni 183

Richard is a driving instructor and he’s really helping to drive and teaching is amazing . Highly recommend.All credits to Craig baker instructor I passed my first attempt

Any new drivers that have passed their Theory, Hazard Perception & CPC Module 4 tests, Craig Baker Driver Training is the HGV driving school you need to be taught by.

They have trainers that have a combination of years and years of experience and a directional, informative approach that prepares you to pass your Module 3A & Module 3B tests.

My trainers were Richard & Ray from the Coventry depot. Each trainer has their own style of teaching. It is important that you listen to their instructions and put their teachings to practice & you should do well.

Most of my training was from Richard and Ray was able to teach me too.

I passed my Module 3A test & Module 3B test first time & I am officially a qualified and fully licensed Class 1, Heavy Goods Vehicle Driver.

Thank you Craig Baker Driver Training. Thank you Richard. Thank you Ray. Thank you DVSA.

Massive thank you to Craig Baker Driver Training. Gary was a fantastic instructor, ensuring a smooth and efficient way for me to get my HGV. Very friendly and helpful throughout.
Cheers

Just passed Class 2 in 16 hours, my instructor Garry was very knowledgeable and the company was great overall. Thanks Craig baker HGV driving school !!

Amazing training from Richard and Craig at Coventry depot, really helped push my driving career and gave great advice, would highly recommend them!

From start to finish, the whole experience was professional, well organised and stress-free. The training was structured perfectly and really prepared me for both the theory and practical elements of the test.

A massive thank you to Richard – he is an excellent instructor. His teaching style is calm, clear and patient, and he explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. He builds your confidence while also making sure you’re fully prepared and up to standard. His knowledge and experience really show, and he genuinely wants you to pass.

Highly recommended!!!

Would highly recommend this company. I chose to to do my class 2 here.The instructors are all friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel confident in my driving ability. They were happy to answer any of my questions. I am now a fully qualified class 2 driver and I can’t wait to get on the road

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can’t recommend Craig Baker Driver Training highly enough for Class 1 (C+E) training at the Coventry Training Centre. Richard was an excellent instructor — calm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, always explaining everything clearly and adapting the training to suit my learning needs. His guidance really helped build my confidence with reversing, coupling/uncoupling, and road driving, and I felt fully prepared for my test.
A huge thank you as well to Stacey, who took my many calls and always made me feel at ease — her support and reassurance made the whole process so much less stressful. Outstanding training and support from start to finish — highly recommended.

Passed my Mod 4, 3a Reverse & 3b On Road with the Bedworth branch, taken out with both Ray and Richard over the week.
No nonsense and professional.

Passed my hgv class 1 with craig baker training bedworth. Had Richard as my instructor..fantastic bloke and instructor! Advice and instructions clear and precise! Great experience overall 👌

Passed my car to class 1 and CPC Mod 4 with Craig Baker at the Sheffield depot. All 3 instructors (Andy, John and Sab) are absolutely fantastic, had the pleasure of being taught by all 3 over the 3 days I was there. The instructors alone deserve 5 stars but due to the office staff they have lost a star.

On the week before my training was due to start my start times we’re constantly getting changed right up until the Friday before I was meant to start training (the following Monday). The office staff informed me that the T&C’s do require flexibility which is understandable but when you’re using annual leave and you have to give notice on annual leave it’s not ideal, also the fact that flexibility might mean your times change by an hour not 6 hours or even a full day!

If you like things set in stone I wouldn’t recommend Craig Baker, however, if you want to be taught by 3 VERY GOOD instructors who have very good knowledge and are patient and can have a good laugh with you then I’d fully recommend the 3 lads at Sheffield.

Iv just passed my class 2 today over the moon.Couldn’t iv done with out the help and support off all the instructors.

Professional staff members that won’t give up on you no matter how many times you’ve failed.Always there to help with any issues on and off the road. Special thanks to my instructor Andy really great guy, a true professional. All in all absolutely loved the experience from start to finish. :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

I had a fantastic experience training with Craig Baker Driver Training for my HGV licence. From start to finish, the team was professional, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable. The instructors are patient and experienced, and they explain everything clearly, making even the more challenging parts of HGV driving feel manageable.

The training vehicles were in great condition, and the lessons were structured to build confidence step by step. What really stood out was how much the instructors genuinely care about helping you succeed—they tailor the training to your needs and make sure you’re fully prepared for both the practical and theory elements.

Thanks to Craig Baker Driver Training, I passed with confidence and now feel fully ready for life on the road. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable HGV training.

What bothered me most was feeling like I had invested money and received nothing of real value in return. The lack of organisation and follow-through made the whole process stressful and completely unenjoyable. I expected a professional service, but instead I was left chasing information and waiting for things that never materialised.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you want reliable training and proper support.

I want to start by saying the driving instructors themselves are absolutely brilliant. They know their stuff inside out and adapt their training style to your character and experience level. I trained with three instructors from Sheffield:
• Andy – my main trainer. Solid bloke, experienced, easy to get along with, and genuinely helpful. He let me get on with what I was already confident in and stepped in with guidance when needed. Proper lad and can have a great laugh too.
• John – not the calm, gentle type, but in the best possible way. He tells you straight, no sugar-coating, and gets you on the right path. And that’s exactly what you need when you’re handling a 44-tonne vehicle. Direct, firm, honest, and genuinely focused on making you safe and ready.
• Seb – also brilliant. Easy to talk to, helpful, and knows his stuff.

These instructors are the only good thing about this company, and they deserve far better treatment than they get.

❌ Now for the bad — which is everything else other than the instructors.

From the beginning, unless I was paying right there and then, they weren’t interested in helping or giving proper information. As soon as I paid, suddenly everything moved — because they wanted the money, not to actually explain anything.

I used Snap Finance and asked three separate times if everything was included: Pass Plus, Pass Protection, the full package. I was told yes, absolutely everything is included — which turned out to be a lie. The things I financed were never added to my package, leaving me out of pocket straight away.

When I tried to sort this out afterwards, management did not care one bit.

I asked to be compensated for the Pass Protection I was told I was paying for but never received. They refused and shut me down instantly. They blamed it on the staff member being sacked — but that doesn’t change the fact I was mis-sold something I paid finance on.

I spoke with Lee, the manager, around four times.
Honestly, he was awful to deal with.
He spoke to me like shit, spoke to his staff the same way, and had no respect for customers or instructors.

He agreed that “when you pass, we’ll see what we can do,” but once I passed they did absolutely nothing. Instead, they used my Pass Plus as if it was Pass Protection, so I ended up paying more and getting less, and didn’t even get the extra hours I paid for.

I asked for a call back from Craig himself at least four or five times — never got one.

In the end I would stay a 1 star but I did pass with them and the instructors are mint so a 2 star from me but a 5 star for instructors, Andy John and Seb

Passed my Car to class 1 at the Sheffield branch today Andy,John and sab was brilliant can’t thank them enough all 3 know there stuff and made the test a breeze to pass.

wouldn’t even give Craige Baker HGV Learning a single star if I could. This place was a complete waste of time and money. The training was disorganized, the instructors unprofessional, and the overall experience was frustrating beyond belief.

All the reviews are fake the shitiest company in whole of UK paid them two times for tests and won't let me give it will keep on taking money from you for lessons and racist towards people of colour and muslims

Start to finish the whole process was smooth. Passed my C1 today first time with zero minors thanks to my instructor Petro. Very friendly and professional. Had my bad habits nailed within 5 minutes. Thanks Petro for all your help and guidance.
