Passed Everything First Time
After deciding on a big career change it took me 10 weeks from start to finish to fully pass my Class 2 HGV and CPC with Craig Baker Driver Tuition. The wait times for Theory & Practical Tests + Lessons were far less than rival companies in my local area in Doncaster therefore paid to travel and stay in Wigan. I had Petro as my instructor who learnt me to drive and pass in just 4 days of driving. I made alot of mistakes to begin with but by listening to Petro I slowly ironed out those mistakes and passed. Been anxious Petro been patient was ideal for me, he's a very skilled instructor and you just need to listen to him, note your focus areas and put it all into practice. Petro your a Greek Legend Thank You!

Great Week of HGV Training
Great week of Class 1 HGV (C & E) training with Craig Baker HGV Training in Wigan. So much to learn, but all managed with the assistance of some excellent instructors. It is a well structured week of first class tuition, both on and off the road, and the fact that the instructors are all highly skilled and experienced drivers themselves, makes the course a great starting point for those seeking to gain future employment in the driving world.
Many thanks to Pedro, Simon, little Chris and big Chris for their invaluable input, and expertise, which allowed me to progress quickly and with confidence to my HGV Class 1 (C&E) driving test at the end of the week (which I passed).
As well as delivering the syllabus with great professionalism, they were also able to impart numerous invaluable tips and tricks for HGV driving, which facilitated my successful progression through the week, and which also proved invaluable during my driving test. I highly recommend them all, as I do the course and experience overall.
Extremely happy with the week overall and the training I received, and am happy to recommend them to you.

DO NOT USE
DO NOT USE – AVOID AT ALL COSTS
The only positive experience I had was with my instructor, Andy – he was excellent and extremely professional. Unfortunately, everything else about dealing with Craig Baker (CB) was a complete disaster.
Before I could even begin my practical lessons, I had to complete my theory. Fair enough. I chose to travel out of my way to a different city just to get it done sooner. When I arrived, I found out CB had booked me in for a bus test, not the LGV theory I actually needed. No apology, no accountability – just a complete waste of time. I let that slide, even though I shouldn’t have had to.
After finally passing my theory (first time, by the way), I only then found out that I was entitled to two hours of “one go one” training to help prepare. No one had mentioned this beforehand – another clear sign of poor communication and terrible customer service.
My practical lessons were in an urban trailer, but when it came to the actual test, they put me in a full-length artic – a much larger vehicle than what I had trained on. I wasn’t even told this would happen. The lack of consistency and communication is staggering.
After failing the test (unsurprisingly, given the surprise vehicle change), I requested my fail receipt when I moved to a more reliable training provider. I sent a message – it was read and ignored. When I called, they brushed it off, claiming their “automated system doesn’t always work.” Another excuse, another lie.
To top it off, CB has test wait times of around 2 months, while other firms I looked into had wait times of just 2 weeks. It’s clear they are only interested in taking your money, not supporting your training journey or providing a decent service.
Poor communication, poor planning, and zero transparency. Save yourself the stress and go elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that Andy provided you with excellent and professional instruction.
We’d like to address some of the concerns you raised to clarify a few points:
Firstly, we do not offer one-to-one theory training sessions; instead, we provide group theory revision sessions. This was clearly explained to you during our calls, and we have reviewed the call recordings which confirm this was discussed prior to your booking.
Regarding the vehicle used for your practical test, the full-length artic is not significantly larger than the urban trailer you trained on. The size difference is relatively minor—comparable to the difference between a Citroën C1. We prepare all our learners thoroughly to handle the test vehicle, whatever the model.
As for the theory and practical test waiting times, these are determined by the DVSA and are unfortunately outside of our control. We did offer you an earlier test date at one of our other depots in an effort to accommodate your needs and reduce your waiting time.
We take pride in the professionalism and support provided by our instructors and team. We always aim to deliver clear communication and a quality training experience to all our learners.
If you have any further questions or would like to discuss anything in more detail, please feel free to contact us directly.
Thank you again for your feedback.

Booked for a 2 day course for my C1 license. Everything was easy to get sorted over the phone and had everything explained and booked very quickly.
My instructor was Kyle and he was extremely helpful all the way through the training. I was a bag of nerves for my test and he helped me keep my cool and I passed first time! Honestly a great instructor.
I would really recommend this company to anyone.

Fraud fraud fraud
Think 1000 times before you go to them They have enrolled me without telling me that I have to spend 185 days in UK before I go for my driving training and test they took 2400 pounds from me got to know on the 3rd day of training that when they gave me a form to sign before my reversing test after that they said you can come back once 185 days re complete and we will give u training but then when the time near and I called them for course they said we re not responsible for anything and won’t give any training and also won’t return any of my amount so it was total of 2400 pounds which they have taken from me for nothing and then started threatening me. I lost 2400 pounds hard earn money just because of Lee Calderbank and the owner Craig Baker also didn’t support in anything as he was aware of everything

Risposta di Craig Baker Driver Training (Nationwide HGV & PCV Training)
We are disappointed to receive this review and feel it is important to clarify the facts.
The individual in question had already successfully passed their HGV theory test prior to enrolling with us. To take this test, DVSA regulations clearly state that a person must have been resident in the UK for at least 185 days within the past 12 months. By completing the theory test, the individual had already confirmed that they met this legal requirement.
We delivered the initial training as agreed. However, when it came to completing DVSA paperwork for the reversing test, concerns arose regarding the customer’s residency status. As a DVSA-approved training provider, we are legally obligated to verify eligibility before continuing with any testing. Unfortunately, we were unable to proceed until the residency requirement had been met.
We made it clear that training and testing could resume once the legal residency criteria had been fulfilled. Regrettably, rather than resolving the matter appropriately, the individual directed abusive and threatening language towards our staff and business. We have call recordings to support this and take such behaviour extremely seriously.
At our company, we are committed to delivering a fair, transparent, and professional service to all trainees.

HGV training…made easy
I recently completed my HGV training with Craig Baker HGV Training, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and incredibly supportive. The instructors are highly experienced, patient, and genuinely care about helping you succeed. They break everything down in a way that’s easy to understand, even for complete beginner.
I would like to thank the two Chris’s for patience (especially on roundabouts) and feel they were instrumental in my approach to the test. Also would like to wish Little Chris a speedy recovery from his recent illness.
I passed my test with confidence thanks to their expert guidance. If you’re considering getting your HGV license, I can’t recommend Craig Baker HGV Training highly enough – it’s easily one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. Top-class service all around!
