Tilston Training

Tilston Training, driver training in Wrexham

Tilston Training is a family-run driver training business based in Wrexham (United Kingdom). It is run by Steve and Sam Tilston, DVSA-approved instructors rated grade A, the highest grade awarded by that body. The company states it has 19 years of experience in the sector and trains its own instructors, who deliver the courses under the supervision of a DVSA grade A rated instructor.

DVSA-approved customer test centre

The company has its own DVSA-approved customer test centre, which allows all vocational tests to be taken at its premises. According to its presentation, this reduces the stress of the process and helps place its first-time pass rates among the best in the country, a claim the company itself attributes to its method. In addition, Tilston Training is accredited as a CPC Mod 3a assessor, which allows it to sign off the reversing and uncouple and recouple manoeuvres at its centre itself, so the DVSA examiner only accompanies the candidate on the one-hour driving test.

Professional and heavy vehicle driving courses

The catalogue covers training for various licence categories:

• LGV/HGV: categories C (Class 2), C+E (Class 1), C1 and C1+E.
• PCV: categories D1 and D1+E.
• B+E trailer training.
• Caravan towing training.
• Motorhome training.
• MiDAS minibus awareness courses.
• ADR training.
• Driver CPC training.

The company notes that learners can complete all their training and take their test in the same familiar surroundings.

Car lessons and intensive courses

Car lessons are offered as bespoke mini intensive courses, tailored to each learner's needs. The offer includes Fast Pass intensive courses, Pass Plus and motorway driving courses, refresher courses and free theory and hazard perception training. The company says it specialises in turning nervous or unconfident learner drivers into safe and considerate drivers, and allows learners to choose a male or female instructor. Its instructors undergo regular CRB checks and DVSA standards checks.
