SJP Driver Training Avis 

They took £3000 off me in January and have sent me an email saying my training is now cancelled as they are in administration.
Checked companies house and still active.
Absolute scam.
Followed up with companies house and have raised a fraud investigation.
Do not give this company any of your money

Passed my C+E instructed by John in a week with no previous experience great bunch of guys to get on with, I feel i was trained to higher standard than required for the test skills that will stick with me for life.

Thanks very much

Applied at SJP Driver Training back in September, to hopefully become a HGV driver,I had no previous experience other than driving for 30 years, so was looking forward to the training.
On my first day, my first impressions were good, nice environment, friendly staff and overall pleased.
My first day training was good, as I was learning in was all new and exciting, by the second day I had made a few mistakes which was to me normal as I was learning and being trained, but the trainer certainly made me aware of the mistakes, which started to knock my confidence, instead of encouraging me it felt I was being ridiculed.
By the third day it went from bad to worse, to the trainer actually swearing at me, as if I wasn’t under enough stress of learning to drive an HGV, being swore at was not the way I expected to be taught.
On the forth day I had my reversing module, which with what had gone on previously in the week had knocked my confidence massively, so it was a true disappointment, and I just couldn’t concentrate as what had gone on previously.
On the Friday I never attended due to the way I had been made to feel, I went there to learn in a friendly environment and was made to feel very inadequate, leaving me feeling upset, as I had not done this by bootcamp, or funding, I had actually paid in full for this course which wasn’t cheap.
The course included CPC which I never did or got offered, the after sales or should I say the non existent correspondence afterwards was very poor, to me feeling that it was about the monies rather than the client.

Amazing team to work with great achievement

I did my C+E through the skills bootcamp, can't praise the staff at SJP enough, friendly, very professional, made training very enjoyable if you're looking for hgv training then give these guys a call

I passed my C+E upgrade to my licence on 14th March 2025 through the Bootcamp with flying colours. I had a great time training. Darren, Daz, Graham are fantastic instructors. A special mention to John, who listened to me talking about my dyslexia and my own self ability to overwhelm myself. He was kind and patient with me, and several times asked if i was OK, and coping well with the information and guidance. John is a fair instructor but firm, and he helped me massively, especially after my mock test when he could see that i was starting to struggle. Since then, i have been driving C + E with a company closer to my home, and it was the best thing i have done this year.

I cannot recommend SJP Driver Training enough.

Many thanks to all the instructors at SJP for making my LGV C&E training enjoyable and knowledge packed. The team have a wealth of experience and knowledge that helped me to pass my driving test first time. I would highly recommend SJP for all aspects of LGV training.

The team at Sjp are some of the most inspiring and dedicated guys to get you through your Hgv C+ E licence and they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks well they got me through mine 🤣 I might have taken longer than most and I nearly gave up but daz brown was the one who got me through and I will always be grateful for that the whole team are behind you 100% all with there own input which was gratefully received . You will not go wrong with this company thanks guys p:s. Bet they are glad to see the back of me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁
Thankyou all

Daz was amazing,he got me test ready in only 2 days of driving and I passed on my first atempt. If you look to learn how to drive don't hestitate and contact this SJP.

I recently passed my C+E with SJP and genuinely cannot recommend them enough. Being a total novice, I came into the training feeling very nervous however was met with a lovely group of guys who made me feel so at ease and comfortable from day dot.
A special thank you to my instructor, Graham! We had a good laugh throughout the training and he hugely built up my confidence, helping me to pass first time!
All the other instructors were equally amazing, always checking in and offering advice, guidance and friendly motivation.
Would 100% recommend SJP to anyone looking to get their license!!

I passed my C+E with these guys in May. 3rd time pass, but I honestly wouldn't of got the pass in the end without the help of all the instructors knowledge, advice and guidance.

Big shout out to Graham for his driving instructing world class advice.
Top notch organisation from Alan from start to finish.

Thanks guys I enjoyed my time with you all, we had a few laughs alone the way but also knew when to be serious
Your passion is unquestionable.

Would highly recommend SJP to anyone thinking of doing/learning to drive HGV

Thanks Guys

Went on the Hgv boot camp with SJP.
Really good set of instructor's all know what they’re doing. Can’t thank them enough for helping me pass my Hgv C+E would 100% recommend using them :-) big thanks to Darren who I had top bloke new when to have a laugh and also went to take it seriously enjoy yeh beers 🍺

Cheers Guys, What a pleasure learning with all you Guys made it fun for me and the other 2. Special thanks to Darren and Dave for getting me passed my driving Alan for all his work he puts in and everyone else for the MOD 4 training. Couldn’t Recommend these Guys enough.

Grate set of lads gave so much help to get me through my c + e test would highly recommend the team

Passed my C licence back in April. What a great bunch of people. Thank you to Darren for putting up with me and helping me all the way and thank you for your kind words from the rest of the full team. Would totally recommend doing your licences with SJP they go above and beyond to help you and have a laugh along the way. I was so nervous was a total novice to the trucking world but they put me at ease after a few melt downs from me but we got there in the end 😂 so professional can’t wait to do my C+E. Thanks everyone at SJP.

I passed my C+E on the first attempt with SJP. Both instructors were a great laugh and very approachable. The training from Alan was spot on, and he was very knowledgeable when answering my questions. They both made me feel very relaxed whilst being trained, and when going in for my test. I couldn't have asked for more from them and I will definitely recommend them if I hear anybody wishing to do any training in the future.

I passed my C+E with SJP and cannot rate them enough.
From start to finish seamless organisation from Alan, through to the driving, my instructor Graham was excellent, alongside all of the other instructors who I saw from time to time who were on hand to offer guidance and positivity when needed.
Super grateful for everything and I would 1000% recommend SJP! Thanks x

I am absolutely thrilled to say that I PASSED my HGV Class 1 driving test today—and I owe it all to this incredible company! From day one, the drivers and instructors showed unmatched patience, expertise, and dedication. Their calm, supportive attitude made even the most challenging maneuvers feel manageable, and their depth of knowledge is truly an asset to the industry.

What sets this team apart is their genuine passion for teaching and their commitment to their students’ success. They don’t just train drivers—they shape confident, safety-conscious professionals. Every lesson was structured, engaging, and tailored to my progress, and their encouragement kept me motivated even on tougher days.

To anyone considering HGV training: Look no further. This company is the gold standard—professional, personable, and packed with some of the most skilled and patient drivers in the business. They’ve not only helped me achieve my license but have also given me the tools and confidence to thrive on the road.

A massive THANK YOU to the entire team—you’re legends in this field, and I’ll be recommending you to everyone!

An asset to the industry, city and community!

Passed my HGV test with these guys. Couldn’t recommend them enough for anyone looking to take theirs. Instructors are extremely patient and really easy to get along with. Shout out to Graham who got me through my C+E with no minors. Best instructor out there!

Amazingly patient, experienced team. A wealth of knowledge with a friendly vibe. I couldn’t recommend enough.
