Neil Robinson, Director
WCF Ltd
Since partnering with SP Training in November 2021 we have been able to deliver a Driver Academy across three of our fuels businesses within Grantham, Carnforth and Peterlee areas.
SP Training have provided our Academy Drivers with the knowledge and tools and support to successfully pass their theory and practical driving elements of the Large Goods Vehicle Level 2 Apprenticeship Programme. This has meant we have been able to bring in and retain talent within an industry that is experiencing a driver shortage.
We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with SP Training as we continue to roll out Driver Academies across other locations within the fuels businesses.
Danielle Casbon, People & Culture Partner
Cumberland Council
SP Training have responded brilliantly to our business training needs. They were professional and flexible and understood our needs exactly. The pass rates for our drivers for lorry tests have been outstanding which was due to the high standard and quality of training that SP Training deliver. Carlisle City Council are using SP Training to deliver CPC training to our workforce and they have delivered focused training using proven behavioural change methods which will be followed up annually with relevant bespoke training. I would highly recommend SP Training as a training provider.

Now we have made the connection I am sure we will be using you guys for most of our training going forward.
