FIRST TIME class 2 test pass for Michael
Michael Ching came to Truck School as an ex bus/coach driver. You'd think that he would be very confident in driving a lorry and to an extent, he was. The thing that was making Michael anxious was the test itself. The last test he took was in 1991, when he took his bus test. Back then, the examiners were very stern and acted very much like robots.

FIRST TIME class 2 test pass
Ayan Hassan took and passed her class 2 driving test today after an intensive few days. Ayan came to Truck School to help her gain the class 2 licence.

From day 1, we knew Ash would be good. Today he proved that as he passed with only 3 driver faults. Gr
A Farm Food FIRST TIME Pass
Farm Foods distribution have come to Mendip Training Centre and Truck School to help drivers gain their HGV Class 1 licence straight into a job with them. A select few have been given the opportunity to upgrade their existing class 2 licence to class 1 and Peter Forrest was the first of these drivers to come to us to complete their training. Peter knuckled down on day one and smashed the reverse and uncoupling procedure so well that we decided to put him into the reverse and
