Fantastic experience: My husband and I recently needed to get our HT licence to drive a motorhome. I was really nervous because this meant we had to get a proper class 2 truck licence. Ernie was so amazing, he could tell I was nervous so really took the time to make sure I understood everything before we moved on. The course was so comprehensive including verbal, written and visual so that really helped. I was very nervous doing my practical but Aaron eased me in to it so I could gain my confidence driving. He gave me some really handy tips which was very helpful. I can’t thank them enough for making this all happen for us! Everything was so easy - booking in the trainings and licences, and even the practical. Thanks for making this very nerve racking process for me so care free and easy! Highly recommend this amazing team

Kia Ora Tracey, Thank you for your feedback. I’m eager to learn more about your experience with us, as I don’t have any lesson or booking details for you. All costs are detailed on our website, so I’m also eager to understand which costs were not disclosed, perhaps I can provide clarity on our pricing structure. We take extreme pride in our work and professionalism, this is demonstrated by us recently winning the ‘Professional Services Award’ in our region, but we’re always open to feedback to improve our services. Feel free to contact our office, I would love to hear more from you. Nga mihi, Awa Driver Training
