I found the training and especially the trainer was really helpful. The way that the trainer explained things and ensured each students understanding and overall safety when preparing to be on the road was amazing. The course itself was really adaptable to my needs, a little difficult at times but the trainer ensured that even though I had to do some by correspondence, i was able to work through everything & as a result, I feel safe in going out onto the road because of this course
