Fantastic experience: I completed my Forklift Certificate and F Endorsement Assessment for work at Candrive, and the entire experience was fantastic. Our instructor Stu was really friendly, professional, and made sure all the content was well understood which was appreciated. He explained everything at the class in an engaging way, and shared some helpful tips at the end during the practical that made the day even more valuable. I left the course feeling much more confident and would definitely consider taking more courses here in the future. Thanks guys!

Thanks Dean, we strive to make our courses informative and engaging, it's great to know we've hit the mark!
Fantastic experience: I did an endorsement renewal with Scott as our assessor. He delivered the course material with humour and invaluable knowledge. I was very happy the course only took part of the morning and then we were done, but because of Scott's approach a longer course would be made pretty painless. I'll do all of my licensing with Canterbury Driver Training in the future. Tammy Hall

Fantastic experience: If you are going for a license and don’t want a cocky power tripping assessor then these are the guys. I have done a few licences now with other more common companies and these guys were by far the best I’ve dealt with. I felt safe in knowing they wouldn’t let anyone who was unsafe pass but they didn’t powertrip and make me feel like they knew it all. They passed on useful tips and treated me with complete respect. I truely believe they set the standard for licensing assessments and professionalism. Great work team!
Thank you Chris, customer service is our priority, so glad you enjoyed your training with Candrive.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and a really good course
Thanks for the great feedback Michael
Fantastic experience: The team at Candrive were awesome to deal with from start to finish. I will definitely be going back to see them when it’s time for the class 4.
Thank you Steve, looking forward to seeing you again
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience through obtaining my class 2 full license. Big shout out to Phil for being an awesome instructor and made the course enjoyable. Thanks team!
Much appreciated, thanks Paymon
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my Class 2 license course at Can Drive, and I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience. The course was structured in a way that made my learning process smooth and efficient, leading to my successful passing of the course. A significant highlight of my experience was my tutor, Philip. He stood out as an exemplary instructor with his remarkable teaching skills. Every time I encountered a doubt or a question, Philip was always there to offer clear and concise explanations, ensuring that I understood every aspect of the course material. His patience and expertise in the subject matter made my learning experience enjoyable and informative. Philip's ability to address and clear doubts promptly and effectively is why I consider him the best tutor I have ever encountered. His teaching style not only fosters a comfortable learning environment but also instills confidence in his students. Encouraged by this positive experience, I am already planning to return to Can Drive for my Class 4 license, specifically to learn under the guidance of tutor Philip again. His proficiency and approach to teaching make me confident that my next course will be just as successful. I wholeheartedly recommend Can Drive to anyone looking to pursue their license courses or endorsements. The combination of well-structured course material and exceptional tutoring, especially from Philip, makes Can Drive an ideal choice for anyone in this field.
