After a bit of research, I ended up choosing Wallace and I'm glad I did. My first phone call was very informative and I had only to choose when to start the training. Got all the books from them, studied everything and passed my theory test first time. Went to do some practical training with Gerry the instructor and got my skills polished to a very high standard. Anticipate, not react. The best advice I could ever get. Passed my practical first time and also the following CPC theory and practical tests. If someone asks me where to go for a truck licence, my answer is 1000 times Wallace School of Transport. They care for you as if you were family. That counts more than anything.

- We GIVE you the below study material for FREE
- When you pay a £300 deposit and book your course on the day of your Quick Start Package and get your Driver CPC Study Material, worth £50, for FREE
- Or, if you don't want to leave a deposit at that time, you can buy the study material seperately. Ask for prices.
