What can I say, Ken and his team are top class. From start to finish on my class 2 license they have kept me informed at all times as covid stopped my test twice. The training is 1st class, very friendly and make you feel at ease straight away. They are a credit to this industry, absolutely fantastic company. Don't go anywhere else trust me.
