Craig Baker Driver Training - HGV Training - Wigan

Nox

I recently completed my Class 1 truck driver training with Craig Baker, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! As a female entering a male-dominated industry, I was initially a bit nervous, but the entire team went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and at ease from the very start.

The instructors are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and supportive. They created a friendly, positive learning environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and making mistakes without judgment. Each step of the training was well-organized, and I could tell they genuinely cared about my progress and success.

Craig Baker’s team empowered me with the skills I needed to feel confident behind the wheel of a Class 1 truck. Their encouragement and professionalism made the whole experience enjoyable, and I always felt like part of the family. If you’re considering getting into trucking, especially if you’re a woman like me, I highly recommend Craig Baker. They’ll support you every step of the way and ensure you leave with not just a license but also the confidence to succeed in your career.

Thank you to Craig Baker and the entire team for making my journey so smooth and memorable!
See you soon guys

I would like to extend a big thank you to the team at Craig Baker Training for helping me pass my HGV test. The experience was excellent! In just a week and a half, I went from being a car driver to earning my Class 1 licence – something that initially seemed challenging, but became achievable thanks to their fantastic support.

A special thanks to Phil and John for their guidance during the course. However, I especially want to express my deepest gratitude to Cris, who was instrumental in my success. I spent the majority of my training time with Cris, and the knowledge he imparted was crucial not only for passing the test but also for my future as an HGV driver. His patience, attention to detail, and practical advice gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. Cris’s dedication and expertise made a significant impact, and I truly appreciate everything he did for me.

I’m extremely grateful to Cris and the entire team for helping me achieve my certification so quickly. I highly recommend Craig Baker Training!

I would like to thank Phill and the rest of the team at Craig Baker.
I can honestly say as an inexperienced driver of large vehicles their constant support and encouragement in helping me pass my C1 course was amazing and I am so grateful for the wonderful experience I had during my course. The course was very professional and supportive and gave me the confidence I needed to be successful, pushing me to get to where I needed to be, to be test ready whilst still making sure I felt calm and comfortable.
I would highly recommend this company.
Due to my instructors constant support and encouragement, my confidence in my driving ability in such a short space of time grew massively meaning I felt properly prepared going into my test, knowing exactly what to do and what was expected of me. Definitely recommend Craig Baker to anyone. Thank-you for everything in helping my pass my C1 ambulance course first time.

A massive thank you to Wayne for getting me through the C1 training on the 5 hours training day. We squeezed both the reversing exercise training and practical driving test into the 5hr slot, and I passed both first time!
Wayne my instructor was brilliant! He was really friendly from the start and made me feel really comfortable. He explained things really well and picked up really quickly on my bad habits, and got me to fix them.
I'm really made up with my training and would definitely recommend them to other people looking to do their C1.

Did my C1 training with these last week. Had Kyle as my instructor who was very knowledgeable and one of the nicest fellas I’ve met. Gave very clear and concise instructions and tips to help me. Nice and relaxed environment to learn in. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Stevie Hornby

I would recommend Craig Baker 100%.

I recently booked a 4 hour course with this company. Craig was amazing from my initial call. He booked me in and a price was agreed. He said I would need to travel to Wigan, I agreed as it was a 1 and half hour drive from West Yorkshire. I set off at 6am got to Wigan for 8am. I then not knowing where my test was had to drive another hour and half to Wrexham where the test would be. I had no training what so ever because of where the test had been booked. I was mentally drained and exhausted by the time it was time for my test. This company had a duty of care to explain and confirm if I was happy to travel a further hour and a half for the test. Extremely extremely disappointed.
