I can’t recommend Data Academy enough

I can’t recommend Data Academy enough. From day one, the team were professional, friendly, and genuinely focused on helping me succeed. The instructors explained everything clearly, were incredibly patient, and gave me great tips that made a huge difference when it came to confidence and technique.

The training vehicles were in great condition, the sessions were well-structured, and I always felt supported — never rushed. Any questions I had were answered properly, and they made sure I understood each step before moving on.

Thanks to Data Academy, I passed my C+E feeling fully prepared. If you’re thinking about getting your licence, this is the place to do it.

Class 2 HGV Training

From my initial phone call with Dorian to get a quote to me passing my final test, Data Academy were brilliant every step of the way. I couldn't recommend Data Academy enough if you want to progress yourself and get qualified as a HGV driver.

The price i was quoted covered absolutely everything from the medical examination costs, all 3 theory test costs, the online theory exam learning materials and also the 13 hours of driving lessons and tests at end with no hidden costs or fees.

This company provides a top tier revision software which will significantly help you to pass your theory tests.

I was on the road with Eddie for my 13 hours of driving i couldn't be more thankful for his efforts in getting me test ready, pointing out my mistakes and helping me improve my driving effectively.

Dorian and the team at Data Academy deserve a huge congrats on the training they provide and the life's they change for the better.

Excellent Experience

Data Academy helped me out of a tight spot when I had a short turnaround for a job that required C1 licence. The team called me within minutes after first emailing them, and fitted me in for a course. Both driving instructors put me at ease, and the company as a whole is incredibly friendly. I cannot recommend them enough.

Couldn’t recommend these guys enough!

I recently passed my C1 driving test first time after completing my training with Data Academy, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! I did two 4-hour driving days plus practice on my test day, and the whole experience was brilliant. The instructors (Phil and Eddie) were friendly, patient, and really supportive throughout — they explained everything clearly and made me feel confident behind the wheel. The course was really well-structured and great value for money compared to other providers I looked at. From even just requesting a quote Dorian was quick to respond and beyond helpful and willing to answer any questions I had. They actually teach you how to drive safely, rather than just how to pass a test.Thanks to their guidance, I felt fully prepared going into my test. I’d definitely recommend Data Academy to anyone looking to get their C1 licence!

Forklift counter balance

Paid for a forklift counter balance course myself, had Glen Mills as my instructor, very easy going and a great teacher. Data academy not just for HGV courses they do Counter balance and reach truck courses!

Also have to mention the rest of the team who are amazing. Dorian the hotwheels king.

All in all best place for it!

What a team

What a team, stepping out of my comfort zone and attempting to gain my CE license was a huge thing for me, having suffered with anxiety in the past, but I couldn’t have picked a better training academy, Data academy from start to finish we professional but friendly. Dorian and Rachel in the office are lovely always there to help nothing is too much trouble. The training team are fab lovely guys, but a shout out in particular to Roger what a pleasure it was to be taught by you, not only the knowledge required but words of wisdom to prepare you for the really world. I could not recommend them enough. I shall certainly miss the morning banter with the lads!!!

Just passed my C+E license

Just passed my C+E license, and I can’t thank Phil; my driving instructor, and everyone else at Data Academy for the experience. I’ve used them at every part of my heavy goods vehicle career, Cat C, CPC, and now C+E. The team are friendly, helpful, organised, and I believe that they can help anybody with their future prospects.

I’ve just completed my Cat C+E training…

I’ve just completed my Cat C+E training with Data Academy and can confidently say the experience was exceptional. The whole process was slick and well-organised from start to finish.
I opted for the one-day classroom course to prepare for the theory test, which helped immensely. I had been struggling with the discipline of revising on my own, and being in a classroom environment really filled in the gaps in my understanding. Being around others studying for the same thing also gave me a better perspective.
The practical training was just as professional. I had Eddie and he tailored the lessons to suit my needs. I’ve driven tractors all my life, so I was already competent in some areas, but I needed significant improvement in others (mainly negotiating roundabouts and knowing when — and when not! — to signal). His guidance was spot on.
The entire Data Academy team made me feel welcome and relaxed throughout, which helped me manage my nerves — just about!
Beyond highly recommended!

Brilliant service from the team here…

Brilliant service from the team here from start to finally passing my c+e license. Certainly would recommend anyone to use data academy from prepping for my theory test and cpc to even the extra pack I purchased from them for working time directive which I just couldn’t get my head around until doing the extra module deffo worth the money. The team at Data helped me every step of the way and I can’t thank them enough for the support they gave me. Big shout out to Dorian, Rachel, Roger, Eddie and Phil. Thanks Team Data for the start of my new journey
