What’s it like to be ‘Trained by TRENT’?
"I have been driving for the past two months with Nilesh and he has been incredible. I first did the safe drivers course and then knew that he would be the perfect instructor for me. Not only does he teach you techniques to pass the test and become a better driver in general but he also makes the experience personal. Nilesh helped me with the anxiety the morning of the test and taught me skills to become a more confident driver. I would not of been able to pass the P test in the first go without Nilesh’s skills and support. "

"I did the 30 hour lesson pack and the Safe Drivers Course with L Trent and passed my P’s test with flying colours! My driving instructor Nilesh was super organised and made sure I had gotten to know all road rules before I sat my test. He even took me on the test route a few times to familiarise myself with the roads and we did 2 mock tests. I highly recommend taking their courses and lessons!"

"Just to say and big thank you to Laval. I booked the Safer Drivers course with LTrent and Laval taught me a lot of safe driving knowledge. Laval gave me confidence that day, so I booked several more lessons with him. He was very patient, kind and supportive. "
