A family-run lorry driver training school, since 2009
Flair Training was founded by a former DVSA examiner and is still run by the same family. We train lorry drivers from our base near Chelmsford and take them to test at DVSA Ipswich.
Who we are
Our founder has spent more than 40 years in LGV as a trainer, a DVSA driving examiner and a business owner. He set up Flair in 2009, and his wife has run the LGV admin ever since. When you ring us, you'll speak to one of them.
Having been an examiner shapes how we train. We know what examiners look for, and we teach you to drive the way they want to see on test day.
Our trainers
Every full-time trainer has at least 20 years of experience training lorry drivers. You'll often see them named in our Trustpilot reviews by the people they've trained.
We train in our own trucks, with an extra seat fitted in each one so a second candidate can ride along on an observation day.
