I don't know where to start . From start to finish all members off staff were friendly and supportive. Had the pleasure of Eddie doing my training and if you listen to his advise this will not only benefit you in passing your test but also change the way you think about driving your own vehicle in the future . Very much recommend and will defenatly recommend to anybody . First class service

I contacted dataacademy to gain C+E licence. My teacher was Phil and he always explained things, gave advices, examples, attention and support needed, grateful for his patience as for me not everything was easy. Also had a chance to work with Roger who knows how to keep you relaxed: "lf l am not stressed in a cab with you, so you should not stress too!" Hahaha. Eddy is peaceful and friendly, Dorian is very cheerful and there is nice atmosphere in the office, people are friendly, always all say hello and congratulated with a PASS :) all the best for you all

Top Quality Training

Great experience and knowledge from instructors Eddie and Roger ensured I passed my C1 license first time.

These guys are a very professional outfit and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for logistics industry training.

100% Recommended, Wouldn't go anywhere else

From the first communication with Dorian it was clear that the company wasn't just about getting people through the doors and passed. They demonstrated a great amount of knowledge and were able to give great advice. They organised everything for me which was perfect for someone who had no idea what to do.
The trainer I had, Phil, was amazing! He made it very easy to become comfortable in a surrounding that was so different from my norm. His attention to detail and little pieces of advice were crucial to me learning and developing not only the confidence but ability to drive the Cat C+E trucks.
Every member of staff that I came in contact with from bottom to top demonstrated a truly professional front and also a very friendly experience!
If anyone was to ask in the future for somewhere to complete the same or similar I will 100% point them in the direction of Data Academy! If it wasn't for the efforts of all of the team I wouldn't have achieved the things I wanted to.
