Well presented course thanks .learnt alot more than I expected. Thanks again
Just finished my CPC at QDL for the second time, even better experience than the last. Very professional team that provide a quality service. I could not recommend Jamie and the team more highly. I don't normally leave reviews, but as we all know it's getting rarer to find a product or service that stands out from the rest, and this does....so the least I can do is spread the word so that others can benefit. Thanks again....I will definitely be back!!!
Charlie and Toby are really good tutors I really enjoying the training I will take away today a lot more information and understanding it's been a real eye opener and look forward to coming back and updating my training thanks you your help and training today all the best Warwick McLaren .... Mpm
Beautiful course, I've learned so much and Charlie was so professional 👌5 stars👍👍👍
Excellent place for course, inviting and comfortable environment, very helpful staff with onsite parking and close to shops, would recommend 👌
Good training site well proscented done a slinger banksman course my teacher was Peter crispin really good what that he teaches learnt a lot
Would like to say big thank you to Jaime who made me very welcom. I was the only lady and only minibus driver in a group of men LGV drivers and I did not feel any difference - guys were real gentlemen and I felt very much included into the group. The delivery of the training is designed on person centred approach with loads of examples & stories from life experience of the trainer and trainees. Need to admit the convenient location of QDL site, Asda is around the corner - handy for breaks, free parking, flexible training dates, week days and weekends, which was really important for me to be able to fit in around my day work. Really enjoyed and would recommend to all who need CPC training.
Good venue,instantly made to feel welcome, easy to find. I arrived full of anticpation, dread and resentment, another day of "punish the Driver". As cycling was the core of the course (Safe Urban Driving) i was expecting sanctimony and righteousness .Wrong, I received informative learning and awareness from our tutor (apologies, i have forgotten your name, please pop below somebody, getting old!). It was nice to be taught by someone genuine, who wanted you to learn, understand, and enjoy. So many thanks to QDL ,my tutor and the nice lady with the special treats (snacks}. Graham
I recently completed the AALMI Lorry Loader course at QDL and thoroughly enjoyed it.Our instructor Paul Baker was excellent, had a great teaching style and combined with his practical knowledge / experiences from his work as a current driver he really enhanced the course.Jaime and the rest of the QDL team were very helpful and welcoming.I thoroughly recommend QDL
Very good teacherNice to have someone who’s on both sides of the fence being a driver and cyclist
Quality and engaging conversations keep myself keen and interested.Always makes sure that we are full aware and engaging in group discussions.
