Why Egham drivers choose GS Driver Training

Direct to Class 1 (C+E)

With Direct-Access C+E, you can go straight to Class 1 without passing Cat C first. This fast-track option saves both time and money, and it’s ideal for drivers aiming for articulated or trunking work.
\n→ Fast-Track C+E Course

Flexible course hours

Choose the training schedule that fits your lifestyle. For C+E courses, GS offers 24, 28, 32, 36 or 40 hours of practical instruction. After a short assessment, you’ll get a recommendation for the shortest course that gets you test-ready with confidence.

Real-world coaching

Our instructors focus on examiner expectations and real-world standards: mirror rhythm, lane discipline, anticipation, load awareness and space management. You’ll leave with both the licence and the habits that employers trust.

Everything handled for you

We handle all your paperwork and bookings, including your D4 medical, provisional application, theory prep, Module 3a reverse and couple/uncouple, Module 3b on-road test, and your Driver CPC.

Trusted by major organisations including NHS (SECAMB), Surrey Police, and Sussex Police

Modern fleet + calm feedback

Our vehicles have smooth gearboxes and excellent visibility. Every session ends with a clear, honest debrief—what’s solid, what to improve, and how to fix it next time.

“The GS team were brilliant from start to finish. The feedback was clear, the reverse pad time was generous, and I passed my C+E first attempt.”
