Massive congratulations to Paul Beukers from Weymouth who passed his HGV C+E today 05/09/25 FIRST TIME in Poole

Paul said "Its in the name!

This Driving School is as it says 2nd2None for both car and HGV driving.

If you are researching which company to use I can highly recommend them.

From the start of the process right to the end this company knows what they are doing.

Their website gives the most info compared to competitors and explains clearly how the process works and how much each module will cost so there are no surprises, through to the efficiency and professionalism of the office and the instructors.

They will give you a link to their knowledge database which has everything you need to pass all the theory, case studies and hazard perception tests.

They are a friendly, approachable, professional and knowledgeable driving school.

Special shout to Glen my HGV instructor who is a natural and definitely in the right job. He knows just when to advise and always has great delivery getting the pertinent information to you at the right time and I never once felt stupid in the learning process. I can do that well enough myself!

You sir are a legend and I can't thank you enough for all the help, advice, commitment and unwavering belief in me hour after hour. Thank you.

Would also like to thank the office staff especially Holly who just knew how to get things done and was always efficient and informative and managed to work around my difficult schedule getting tests, of which there were 5, booked in a very timely fashion even when the DVSA had an examiner retire in the middle of my training and all the slots disappeared overnight without warning. She worked tirelessly to get my tests booked in and managed it. Thank you Holly.

Through 2nd2none I was able to pass all my tests first time and they gave me the confidence to know I could do it even through I was constantly questioning my own abilities.

Professional to a tee, if you need a driving school look no further. The end!"

Well done Paul, keep safe from your Instructor Glenn Hollands & all the team here at 2nd2None Driving School

TRAINING REVIEW

Royston said "I First contacted 2nd2none when I was just interested in becoming a driving instructor, their approach was informative without pressure, I wasn't chased into signing into a franchise or anything like that, which other schools have done from the very first enquiry.

I booked two hours with my local trainer and got to ask him lots of questions about the job whilst he carried out an assessment drive with me.

I then had the opportunity to sit in the back of one of his lessons to get a feel for the job before committing any further. I decided I liked the job and after speaking to several schools I decided to take the plunge with 2nd2none and this was probably the best decision I've ever made.

My trainer Nathan Drewitt has been a rock throughout my training, I took a very indepedant approach to the first two of the three tests but he was still interested in how I was doing, we carried out some limited training for my part 2 test but no time was wasted in the short sessions I booked in, getting my driving upto a better standard.

Once I passed my part 2 Nathan tailored my 40 hours of one to one in car training to suit my learning style, it's this that sold me on the client centred learning that we should be practising as instructors from day one. (yes that's right everything was done face to face and not in group online sessions like other schools!).

The school then sponsored me as an approved trainee driving instructor helping me lease a tuition vehicle through them (this was personal preference I could supply my own suitable car). I began teaching and gaining further experience during my additional 20 hours of training, during this time I was fully supported by the amazing office team, providing me with as many pupils as I felt comfortable with and checking in regularly to ensure everything was going to plan.

These 20 hours were spent by Nathan assessing my teaching ability and style, helping me hone it to better meet clients needs and the criteria set out by the dvsa for the part 3 exam.

I passed after an additional 5 hours of training on my second attempt after missing a pass by just one point the first time.

So in a short space of time 2nd2none and Nathan managed to completely change my career from something technical but not particularly people focused to teaching / coaching, which is not something I ever thought I would be doing.

I also had the pleasure of another amazing ADI Paul Meads sitting in some of my lessons and me sitting in some of his to help me progress, it's the amazing people you meet that help you along the way.

Now I've passed the 3 exams will I be staying with 2nd2none?

Absolutely! I've had some problems on my journey and at one point I thought it was over, Holly one of the owners was 100% there for me as a person and got anything she could do to help done and sorted without fuss to keep me on target. You just don't get that level of support nowadays.

So for as long as 2nd2none keep supporting their instructors and more importantly their learners then I will support them.

Not all franchises are equal, some of them are 2nd2none.
