Been doing my driver training for my class 2 license, passed with flying thank you to treena for putting up with me and pushing me to pass, highly recommend rsm and treena.Thank you again
I would like to say a big thank you to RSM for getting me through my Class 2 .Especially Russ great instructor, who I would highly recommend.
I was accepted onto the Government Bootcamp novice to C+E intensive course.The two instructors I had Russ for the C class and Geoff for the C+E were both excellent. They were both knowledgeable, and instructed me well. They would tell me at the time when I made a mistake, however not bombard me with info as I was concentrating, rather at the debriefs during rest or at the end, they would go into detail as to what I did wrong, what consequences that may have and what I should do instead. That way I could fully understand how to become a better driver rather than just being told what to do to get through the test.I couldn't have asked for better instructors. I would highly recommend RSM if you're thinking of doing the course
Passed my class 2 first time thanks to Trina for training me ,Great bunch of instructors and admin who work at RSM.
Training centre staff are professionals at all time . Trainers there push you to your full potential they get you ready for the final test. Also special thanks for the admins to sort out one more chance for me!!!
I wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude for their excellent training program. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. The comprehensive curriculum and hands-on practice sessions truly prepared me for the test. I'm thankful for their dedication and support throughout the entire process. If you're looking to pursue a career in commercial driving, I highly recommend RSM Commercial Driver Training. Thank you, RSM, for helping me achieve this milestone! 🙌😊
Recently just done my C+E license with RSM, having never driven anything bigger than a car, Jeff got me through my full license in just 2 weeks passing all my tests 1st time, great instructor and a really nice guy, recommend Jeff and RSM highly
Passed my class 2 with zero faults, did not expect that! Thanks Cristian and Sarah. Advice from Cristian was to eat a couple of bananas to calm the nerves the morning of my test, which seemed to work.
Had great experience with rsm doing my HGV. I just want to say big thank you to Mick my trainer and all the staff at RSM VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY.
Very good driving school. Mick was a fantastic instructor helping me with everything I needed to pass 1st time. Highly recommend. Thank you
Absolutely brilliant team great instructor's would highly recommend them for everything
I had an intensive course booked towards the end of November/ beginning of December for my HGV Class 2 which I passed. The team from the office staff to the instructors were all so professional and welcoming. Can't recommend them enough !
Amazing training instructors I first had dave on the first week in a rigid and he pushed me and showed me the ropes of how and what to do then on the second week I had Jeff and that's where things got fun jumping into the big boy truck where he further pushed me to better myself right up until my test where I manged to fly through with no faults would highly recommend great members of staff all round and a great company
Training centre staff are so good there push you to your full potential will recommend this company five star. Smashing it in 3days . What else's can I say. No faults.
We had another driver pass first time (with no experience of lorries) with 0 faults at the start of the year, and have just put another 2 of our drivers through their 35 hours of periodic training (one being our transport manager, for his second time - poor soul!). Dave is brilliant, making the course interesting and as 'pain free' as he could throughout the week - adding in extra information where needed, and passing on a lot of his own experience from his driving days - both guys came away having learned some new things to take into their own driving.Having now put 5 drivers through their cat C licenses, and so far 8 drivers through their periodic training, it's always a pleasure to have a reason to make contact with Alina and Louisa! Friendly as ever, nothings ever too much - we couldn't recommend them highly enough.Thanks as always to the RSM Team, plenty more training coming up!
Mick is amazing, intelligent, active and very supportive even though I have failed my class C+E but he trained me very well. He tried his best but I didn’t succeed. Soon I will come back this place and I will do my best so let seeAlina helped me a lot as I had only week in my theory to expired had £500 discount which was really good thing
Over the moon at the moment,after just having had my category D test done!All of that wouldn’t be possible without the superb training that I’ve received from Kev and Trina.True professionals with a lot of knowledge and tips for us students!Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone and use them myself in future!Well done guys!Keep up with the good work!
Passed my LGV Cat C first time with RSM. Organisation by the office was fantastic from medical to test. Many thanks to Mick who is an outstanding instructor. He talked me through everything I needed to know to pass and remained calm and patient throughout. All the other instructors I met were also friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
I recently just passed my ce class 1. Very good training school. I would like to thank everyone at the school. Especially my trainers, Sarah , mark and mick. Thanks to them I passed. Highly recommend for training. Which not only including class 1 or 2. But also other training they provide. I did my reversing test and also the mod 4.
I just wanted to say thank you to all the lovely people at RSM CDT. Great bunch of people, very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable.Massive thank you to Mick for all his advice on my LGV training, very vocal and through, likewise to Jeff. Sailed through the test 1st time..well recommend! 👍
I recently started setting the foundations for a new career in HGV driving. RSM have been great from my initial enquiry. Louisia in the office was very helpful with getting everything set up and my trainer Mick was a perfect fit for me. In my opinion Mick had an excellent balance of coaching, feedback and encouragement to give me the confidence I needed to get through.I passed my practical exam first time with 2 minors and I have now booked on to my ADR (with tankers) training to start in a few weeks.Thanks to Steve and Jay also, who trained me for some of the course.RegardsJim
Used RSM recently for my C1+E training and couldn't be happier!Mick, Kev and Mark were all really helpful and patient, helping me to smooth out any bad driving habits I'd developed over the years.The office team were also really helpful in helping with any questions and organising everything.Definitely recommend them for C1+E and any training they offer.
I just passed my C1 licence with RSM, across my week training I was instructed by Mick, Jay, and Mark who were all brilliant with their training. They all adapted the training to my learning style and explained the expectations for the exam in clear terms and clearly explained what I need to do to achieve that level then all helped me to drive to that level. I would highly recommend RSM to anyone who is wanting to gain another licence
Years ago I approached RSM to get my HGV journey started, with medicals and theory tests etc.. From that initial meeting I knew RSM were an extremely professional company, and when it came to doing my Class 1 lessons in July this year, I was not surprised to see the same level of professionalism was there- if not more!Mick was the absolute legend who took me out on my lessons for the week and I cannot thank him enough for helping me, especially with the reverse test! Mick also made me feel more and more confident as time went by, and we still had a laugh, and remained professional throughout the week and because of that I passed my Class 1 first time with zero minors!Everyone there was so nice, from the girls in the office to the team of instructors.I would 100% recommend RSM for all your HGV needs, you really cannot get any better in my opinion!Thanks guys!
I was impressed by the stars but...The clerical team is brilliant, accurate. The first trainer, Mick is a great man.The other trainer just played with the phone all day long. Unfortunately the school's methods didn't work, I became stressed by the end of the week and failed on the test. I don't know the reason, they didn't explained a single word.When I complained to my agency they began to spread lies about me.The training room was freezing cold.Finally I found the Robinson and with their training I made a successful test for the first try.
Best place to get your drivers licenses!Stuff super friendly and helpful starting from the girls in the office to all the instructors.I had Mark and David as instructors there are both very professional, helpful and super patient.I was so scared to drive a manual vehicle special a C1 after I stopped 15 years ago.Clutch control and changing gears was my biggest fear . After 2 weeks training with the professionals Mark and David I overcome all my fears.Thank you very much .
Very happy with all the people in this company, starting with the girls in the office they are genuine, helpful and very professional.I recently passed my practice test and I couldn't be happier with all the trainers there.Special thank you to Chistian, Mike, Dave and Russ.I definitely encourage anybody that want to get in this profession to seek the services of RSM.
(This review is on my partner Stuart’s Bates behalf)Started my training with Mark from RSM Colchester on 19th June after never being inside a lorry before Mark made me feel at ease and comfortable, he was a very thorough and informative instructor and within the 8 days with him I’m pleased to say I’m a fully qualified HGV driver passed with no minors and all thanks to Mark and all his training and support.Can’t thank him enough and been such a brilliant experience!
I went though RSM to get my Articulated Lorry license and could not be more please. I passed first time thanks to Mark who trained me, he was very professional and is a great teacher. I went to their training depot in Colchester which was convenient for me as I am from Ipswich. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for a new career.
Passed with RSM Category D in 2017 + CPC, Category C + CPC in 2021 and Category CE in 2023. All tests were passed first time. I highly recommend RSM Commercial Driver Training if you wish to get your PCV/HGV licences. Great team, great instructors.
If you are thinking of taking your C+E licence with RSM Commercial Driver Training, then you are doing the right thing.I had Geoff as my instructor. I couldn't have had a better person to coach me. He was professional, patient, easy to communicate with and most importantly, was trying his utmost to pass on his vast experience and knowledge to me. As a result of a week of driving with him, I passed my driving test, first time. Thank you Geoff, you are a gentleman of the highest order.
Absolutely enjoyed every part of my direct access course through RSM for a Class 1 C+E licence. My dad passed with them last year upgrading from his Class 2, so I decided to give it a go. Both my instructors made me feel at ease over the 2 weeks and thoroughly knew what they were doing.Apart from letting my nerves get the better of me a little during my test, I went in feeling very confident I'd come out happy, and I got it 1st first.I would recommend anyone interested in going for an upgrade to their licence coming through here, especially after seing them take other guys/girls who have failed elsewhere and bring them comfortably up to pass.
I passed my HGV C+E test with RSM and couldn’t be happier with their service. All the staff are very friendlyMy instructor Mark he was brilliant, and a really nice person and supported me. He made sure i knew everything i needed too and loads of advice, and everything he told me that would happen during my test I did… I honestly cannot fault him in any way!-Thanks again Mark!Steve and the other few instructors i met throughout the week was all very friendly and supportive too.I would definitely recommend RSM to anybody interested.
Passed today with the ever amazing Tom. Started out so unsure and worried about what it would be like to drive such a large object. From the minute I sat in the cab toms words and actions were reassuring and informative. Honestly what a life changer the pass is and to do it with such ease, confidence and knowledge that was instilled into me via Tom. I fully recommend anyone that wishes to undertake any training give RSM a call and request Tom. Not many instructors that work so well on your strengths and flaws. Thanks mate 🍻🍻🍻
I passed my C1E driving test today, first time!!! And it's all credit to the team at RSM but especially Mick. Mick was my instructor, who took me out each day, but I also had Jay once and also Jay for my reverse instruction, who were both brilliant. Mick taught me the superb skills to carry on throughout my driving life, and how to be a safe and professional driver. He made it a very fun and I really enjoyed his company. His knowledge of the road and his teaching skills were absolutely brilliant and second to none. I can't thank him enough for teaching me how to be a better safer driver. They say you never forget a great teacher, and I will never forget Mick for his brilliant training. Thankyou to Mick and the whole team at RSM! Hopefully see you again one day in the near future!
RSM were incredible at getting me through my C1 course so I could go on to drive an Ambulance. The admin team were really efficient and corresponding with me and getting me booked in as soon as possible, being flexible with my schedule. My instructor; Mick, was amazing and I cannot recommend him enough. He was approachable, patient and encouraging the whole way throughout my lessons, even when I doubted myself. He took all the time needed to get me from being a beginner to being confident on the road, and made me feel relaxed the whole time. All the other staff I met along the way were friendly as well. I cannot recommend RSM enough and if you want to smash your C1, ask for Mick!
Brilliant! My experience with RSM was great from day one. I started my training in a completely new area to me Chelmsford but my instructor Mick was fantastic.. he covered everything I needed to know and prepared me perfectly for the test in just 4 days. I was completely happy with the training provided and I definitely recommend
I passed my category c+e first time after being trained by Steve, I can’t fault him. Really nice bloke, made me feel confident and at ease throughout the hole process. Can’t thank him enough! All the the instructors where really good including the ladies in the office who where very helpful. Would highly recommend RSM to anyone who is thinking about learning.
I undertook my C1 Driver Training with RSM a couple of weeks ago to be able to drive an ambulance. I passed my C1 first time with no minors last Saturday. I would like to thank my instructor Mark as he is definitely the reason I done so well and passed my test. I could not have asked for a better instructor and I believe Marks instruction is the reason I felt so confident and at ease, Mark ensured I was pushed to my ability to do the best I possibly could but in a safe manor. So a big thank you to Mark and the RSM team for making me feel so comfortable and at ease. Mark is a very competent instructor, very knowledgable and makes you believe in yourself more and have more confidence. I Would 100% recommend RSM anyone. Thanks once again to the RSM team and Mark to getting me on step closer on my journey in the ambulance service.
I recently completed my training through RSM by my employer. I can honestly say RSM are excellent in every aspect of their field. From all the girls in the office to the instructors, were first class and incredibly helpful.I would like to say a special thank you to Jay who was my instructor. He made me feel very comfortable from the first minute. Extremely thorough and highly professional in everything he did. So thank you for a great experience Jay!I'm now wanting to do further training for more licences and want to complete these through RSM again, which says it all really.Thank you for all your support, see you soon 🙂
I have just completed my training and passed my class 2 licence with RSM. The ladies in the office are amazing, they keep you informed and answer any questions you might have. My instructor was Sarah, she was brilliant, she made me feel at ease, gave me confidence and valuable knowledge. I really enjoyed learning the skills needed. Every member of the RSM team I encountered was lovely and shared their advice. So if your looking to try a new career in this industry, I would highly recommend RSM.
Great experience training at RSM for my class 1 license! The girls on reception have been so helpful guiding me through the whole process. Massive shout out to Christian and Mark for training me on the rigid and then moving me up into the artic. They were excellent, very informative, calm and supportive through the whole thing! The other instructors at RSM were wonderful too sharing experiences of their years on the road and helpful tips to take with me for my years ahead in the trucking industry! They were all happy to answer any questions I had.Female friendly environment I didn't feel I was treated any different which was nice!Highly recommend booking in with these guys!I'm so thrilled I have my class 1 license now! Really pleased I chose to train with RSM!
My experience with RSM has been fantastic from start to finish. Booking my training course itself was a breeze, at every stage everyone has been so friendly and informative. As someone who booked and paid for the course off my own back, this was very important to me and played a massive part in making me decide to go with RSM. Having come from bus driving previously, I was deemed ready to make the most of the change in staging rules and go straight into a C+E vehicle & test. I had Russ for my assessment and training, and I honestly could not say a bad word at all about him! He is an excellent instructor, very well informed and made sure I knew everything I needed to do to meet the requirements of the test. We chatted loads along the way and I felt completely comfortable throughout every step of my training. I passed my off-road manoeuvres test first-time, and then went confidently into my HGV C+E driving test soon after. Which I’m pleased to say I passed first-time also! I couldn’t have done it without the excellent training I received from Russ, and the service and hospitality from everyone in the office and the rest of the training team was second to none. I honestly can not recommend them enough, and if this kind of training is a path you are looking to go down - you should 100% pick up the phone and have a chat with RSM! I will be recommending everyone I know to come to yourselves. Thank you so much for helping me start a new career!
