Why Banstead drivers pick GS Driver Training
Banstead drivers choose GS Driver Training for our real test focus. We drill the exact standards examiners expect—reverse into bay, safe coupling/uncoupling, clear safety questions, and confident independent driving—so test day feels routine, not risky.
You’ll train in modern, comfortable vehicles with clean cabs, excellent visibility, and smooth gearboxes. The familiar setup builds confidence and keeps your attention on planning, mirrors, and positioning.
We offer flexible scheduling around shifts with short-notice options where possible, plus straightforward communication on dates and requirements. You also get transparent pricing with clear inclusions and the option to hire the training vehicle for your test.
Finally, our pathway is built for progression: start with Cat C (Class 2), upgrade to C+E (Class 1), then complete Driver CPC. We’ll map the steps, prep the paperwork, and coach you to each milestone.
