Initially delivered to our senior management team, the feedback was excellent with the training well delivered, and the content relevant. We feel reassured that we have a proactive driver training partner in Drivetech; especially as we implement our sustainability strategy, which our EV ambitions form a key part.”

Did the course with Brian this morning in my UU van. He was great. He pointed out my observation has got a little sloppy so I’ll be mindful of that when driving and hopefully improve. He also gave me a few extra tips on reading the road from street furniture etc – Normally I just focus on lane markings etc. Thanks to UU for organising this, I feel the objective assessment will allow me to improve. If you’re collecting feedback on the instructors Brian gets full marks from me.

The session that Keith ran for our Area Managers was brilliant. He was very approachable and made the whole session fun as well as informative which was exactly what we wanted. I have shared with my colleagues across the business how great this session was and can’t thank you enough for the support I was given from Kate to get this all together. Well Done to Keith who was a real credit to your company!
