Very Disappointed

My training and reverse test went well although the whole course was crammed in to 2 and a half days which apparently isnt long enough according to some of the guys considering ive never driven a lorry before, usually 4 days apparently is the average, Alby is a nice guy and a top trainer, so i completed my reverse test and was handed my certificate and was told to keep it in a "safe place" instead of "you must take this with you to the test", therefore I didnt bring my certificate with me and was not allowed to do the test, the boss Steven argued with me that it was my fault and insisted I had to pay for the re-test myself out of my own pocket and that it was my fault, so i decided to finish my course with another company although im now massively out if pocket.

We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience and have given us a poor review. We understand that you feel this reflects the service you received, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.

While you have raised several points, it’s important to clarify that you were fully informed of your course timings in advance and agreed to them. The training provided still covered the full 16 hours that were booked.

You are absolutely right that Alby is an excellent trainer, and he did note that you were likely to pass if the issue with the 3a certificate had not occurred so we delivered on that.

Regarding that incident, your 3a certificate was required on the same day as your 3b driving test.
Two trainers, both of whom have conducted hundreds of tests, were present and confirmed what was said. While we understand that you believed leaving the certificate in your car was a safe option, in hindsight, this may not have been the best place for it. We appreciate that this situation was frustrating, but we also feel it’s important to clarify that Sirens cannot take full responsibility for personal document management belonging to a candidate.

We would also like to address your comment about Steven, the owner, “arguing.” To be clear, there was no argument or verbal discussion — only a text exchange. In that exchange, it was simply pointed out that it is each candidate’s personal responsibility to ensure they have the correct documents for their test, rather than expecting the trainer to check on their behalf.

Finally, there was no insistence on any matter; we simply explained that there is a standard rebooking fee, which you chose not to accept — and, of course, that is entirely your choice.

We wish you all the best with your new training provider and hope your future courses go smoothly and successfully.

Kind regards,

Stephen - The owner

Life-Changing Experience – Passed First Time Thanks to Sirens!

I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how incredible my experience was with Sirens Academy.
Before I started, I had never even sat in an HGV lorry, let alone driven one. I was nervous, overwhelmed, and full of doubt. But from the moment I walked through the doors, the entire team made me feel completely at ease. They treated me with respect, patience, and a level of professionalism that instantly gave me confidence I didn’t know I had.
Every single instructor was not only highly experienced but also genuinely passionate about what they do. They took the time to understand how I learned best, explained everything clearly, and made me feel like I wasn’t just another student—I was someone they believed in. Their support was relentless.
And here’s the best part… I passed my HGV test FIRST TIME and in just 5 days. That’s how good they are.
A very special thank you to Lindsey, who was incredibly kind, endlessly patient, and without a doubt went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Her calm encouragement and unwavering support meant the world to me.
Also a huge shout-out to Stephen, who firmly put me in line (in the best possible way!) and completely shifted my mindset. He showed me a different way of thinking and approaching the road—and honestly, that change in perspective was a game-changer.
Choosing Sirens was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you’re thinking about getting your HGV license—whether you’re a complete beginner like I was or just need a professional team to get you over the line—don’t go anywhere else. These people change lives. They certainly changed mine

Sirens & Alby were fantastic

Sirens & Alby were fantastic. My C+E practical training was arranged through a broker so I did not know exactly what to expect however upon arrival my instructor Alby was very welcoming, explained what we would be doing each day & offered constant feedback throughout the week in a really constructive manner that did not overwhelm & in a manner that was easy to understand & put into practice.
Thank you

Brilliant experience with Sirens Driving Academy in Brill

I am so grateful that I chose Sirens Driving Academy in Brill for my Class 1 C+E training. I could honestly not have asked for a better experience than I received from everybody from Sirens that I dealt with. Firstly from Alex, who helped with my initial enquiry and helped me to book my training. I was lucky to have Albie as my instructor and he was a top notch instructor and I could not have asked for better. He helps you in every aspect of the training and goes above and beyond, even giving advise/tips for once you get your licence. Also thanks to Steve for the advise he gave me during the week as well. I have previously done training courses with 3 other companies over different categories and Sirens has been the best by a country mile. I would recommend Sirens to all. You give yourselves the best chance of passing your test if you undergo your training with Sirens. Thanks Guys. Dan R.

Best place to do your large vehicle training.license.

I did my driver training with Sirens last year at their training center in Brill. My instructor was Steve and from the very first day he was brilliant. He is experienced and has a lot of patience which helps people who have no experience in driving heavy vehicles. I was a little worried after reading bad experiences from other learner drivers about some training school in my area and I think I got very lucky with Sirens and Steve. Now I'm a class 2 driver, driving around London and other parts of England and I love it. Thanks to Siren and Steve.

Recently passed my C+E driving at…

Recently passed my C+E driving at Rickmansworth through Sirens Driving Academy Ltd. My experience has been wonderful with them. The training i received from Wayne was very helpful for me to know my weaker areas. Wayne was very encouraging, professional and patient with me. He taught me everything i needed to know to drive safely on road, with the result i passed my test with no minors in the first attempt. I will definitely recommend Sirens Driving Academy and Wayne as an instructor.
Sincere thanks to Wayne, Steve and Julia!!
Thanks

Great instructor and quick to find a test slot

Really good service from Sirens. Julie was very quick to find me a test slot at short notice and very responsive over text/email.

Paul was a great instructor, very calm and made everything very simple.

Being in a larger car certainly made it easier too - I saw a few other companies using small Golfs or similar which would have been more difficult with the trailer.
