Core Driver Training (Derby) Limited

I can't recommend Core enough! Farrah was quick and communicative via emails, easy to reach and get a response from if I had any issues or queries and understanding when it took me a while to get tests and things booked, but straight on sorting out the practical element once I'd passed my theory.Phil is a brilliant instructor - he reminds calm throughout and puts you at ease almost immediately. Everything is explained thoroughly but concisely, ranging from the elements of the test to key points in passing, making sure you understand before moving on.The practice vehicle is also very well maintained and looked after, it drives well makes things easier too!

Had an amazing experience using core driver training for my C1. Phil is a great instructor, made me feel comfortable and minimised my nerves from the very start. He genuinely wants his students to succeed and is constructive and supportive with his driving feedback, while also making the training days fun and enjoyable, all helping me pass first time. Booking the training was very smooth, Farrah was so quick to respond to all emails and willing to answer any questions. Highly recommend to any student paramedics/techs for their C1. Thanks for everything!

Core driver training is amazing!!Farrah and Phil made the whole experience enjoyable.Farrah provided me with excellent advice on how to begin the C1 application process with advice on completing a medical, theory test as well as the practical.By booking the package they offer you most certainly get your moneys worth with no hassle at all.All of Farrahs replies were fast and informative.Phil the driver instructor was also amazing, he was relaxed, polite, chatty and very encouraging across the two days. He made me feel at ease and have confidence in my own driving ability.Absolute 10/10 company and staff :)

I'm so glad that I chose Core Driving Training to do my C1, and I would definitely recommend it! From the start, Farrah, who organised all of the training, test dates and was more than happy to answer all of my questions (and I asked lots of questions to double check everything), was so kind and lovely, even responding to emails out of hours and with fast replies, it was so easy to sort out my training. Farrah was great, such a nice and hard working individual, and really made me feel at ease with the whole admin-y side of things.Phil, who was my driving instructor, was just as great, again making you feel at ease and comfortable, especially in a stressful couple of days as I had never driven a van before. He is great at being reassuring, good at giving instructions and explaining how to do things, but in such a nice manner that you learn so quickly, and as a very nervous individual myself who usually lacks confidence, and loses it with even the smallest of mistakes, I couldn't have asked for more. I felt at ease and Phil helped me build my confidence to be able to drive the vehicle so quickly and helped me learn from my mistakes. He was also great at telling stories and talking with you about other things rather than just about driving, which made the whole experience even better.I'm so thankful to both Phil and Farrah, you guys are both so nice and just thank you so so much for everything and helping me pass my C1 :))

Had the best experience with Core Driver training! Cannot recommend them enough! The whole way through both Farrah and Phil were amazing! Farrah was so lovely, so quick with responses and really helpful with information and any questions! Had such a positive experience with Phil as the instructor! He was so patient and reassuring and explained things so clearly! Felt so comfortable and welcome throughout and just had a really nice time over the last 2 days! Couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank you so much!!

Fantastic experience. From start to finish Farrah and Phil were supportive and informative. Phil was fantastic throughout my lessons, reassuring and stamped out any problems that I had. Reasonable priced and worth every penny. Vehicle are clean and maintained well. I travelled 2hrs to train with Phil, due to him being that good. Honestly don't bother with anyone else, Core is the company to use if you want to pass. Highly recommend.

I had an outstanding experience with Phill as my driving trainer. His friendly and approachable nature made the C1 license course not only informative but also enjoyable. Phill's ability to combine the sessions with humor and engaging content created a positive atmosphere, making learning a pleasure. Thanks to him, I successfully passed the exam on my first attempt. The course is very reasonably priced, especially for what you get. I highly recommend Core for anyone seeking a skilled and personable driving instructor who goes the extra mile to make the learning experience both effective and enjoyable.

Cannot recommend Core Driver Training enough. Right from the get go when booking Farrah was amazing, she was happy to answer any questions and was always quick to reply. Phil was a lovely instructor, he put me at ease, which is an achievement with my nerves lol, and I passed first time! We have had a laugh these last couple of days and I’ve had great fun. Can’t wait to start my career in the ambulance service thanks to these guys. They are all fab! Can’t thank you both enough!

Had an amazing time with Core Driver training! Cannot recommend them enough! Farrah was brilliant straight from the start, quick replies and being very helpful with any questions I had! Had such a great experience with Phil as the instructor! He was very reassuring and explaining things so clearly! He went above and beyond to put me at ease right from the beginning and up until my test! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much!!
