David Allan is a fantastic instructor; I was nervous at first, but he put me completely at ease and was incredibly helpful in getting my license. Thanks for everything, David.

I had a great experience with David Allan and Vanessa. Vanessa handled the whole process from start to finish very smoothly and professionally, and she was always helpful and easy to communicate with. David was an excellent HR truck driving instructor. He was very supportive, patient and positive throughout the training. He explained everything clearly and made sure I felt confident behind the wheel. I highly recommend David and Vanessa to anyone looking for professional, supportive and friendly service. Thank you both for making the whole experience so smooth!

Absolutely awesome service from start to finish! David Allan was an absolute legend of an instructor. I came in very nervous but by the end of the day, I was driving a truck no problem at all. From the tips and tricks that make driving a very large vehicle like you’re handling a car, to his overall personality. 10/10! Celine was also very good making the booking seamless and easy. Kudos to TDT and all staff. Thank you very much!

recently completed my HR licence training with TDT Training and had a great experience from start to finish. A special mention to Ron, the instructor, who was extremely knowledgeable, patient and professional throughout the training. He explained everything clearly, took the time to answer questions and made sure I understood what I was doing before moving on. His experience and teaching style made the training much easier and more enjoyable. I feel much more confident in my driving skills and knowledge after completing the course. I would definitely recommend TDT Training to anyone looking to obtain their HR licence, and especially recommend Ron as an instructor. Thanks to Ron and the team at TDT Training for a great experience.

Completed HR training and test with Ron H. During training Ron was clear and articulate with instruction, answered questions simply and provided specific feedback about performance. The training period provided me with lots of time behind the wheel, so I could complete the test with confidence. Admin team were also great with communication.

Thank you so much TDT! I booked my HR truck license training with Vanessa from TDT and was assessed by David. Smooth bookings - No hassle at all. If you’re anything like me before a test (nervous) don’t be! David is a really knowledgeable trainer with years of experience under his belt. His instructions were very clear and his step-by-step guide will help you gain the knowledge and experience needed! Felt like working with a mate for a day! Do not miss this opportunity to up-skill with TDT. Get in touch with Vanessa, request for David. Happy days ;)
