  • An outstandingly delivered training course
    David Chappell

    I recently attended a CPC Transport Manager’s course through my work, initially to gain a better understanding of the CPC requirements for lorries. What I didn’t realise was just how much work, detail, and responsibility goes into running lorries and meeting the legal requirements! The training itself was absolutely fantastic. Although there was a lot of information to take in and plenty of revision, the course was delivered brilliantly. A big shout-out to David, who is clearly an expert in his field. I’m now excited to see what opportunities this qualification can open up in the future. Great training, and a huge thank you to the Ridgway team for all the support!

  • The team were extremely helpful

    I was recommended Ridgeway to help pass my CPC managers course. It was all new to me and i was very nervous before starting. From day one the trainer and the team were extremely helpful and educational and actually made it very enjoyable. I unfortunately didn’t pass the first time but they gave me all the support I needed to pass the 2nd time around, and I would highly recommend them from start to finish.

  • Fantastic help and advice from David our instructor

  • A First-Class Learning Experience with Ridgeway Training
    Glenn Wolstencroft

    My experience with Ridgeway Training has been exceptional from start to finish. The entire process was structured, supportive, and clearly designed to help learners succeed, whatever their starting point. What truly set the journey apart, though, was the guidance, encouragement, and support I received from Chris and Ann — especially when an out‑of‑the‑ordinary situation arose. Their professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile made a real difference. I would thoroughly recommend Ridgeway Training to anyone looking to gain a qualification in the courses they offer and to further develop their career prospects.

  • Absolutely faultless training company
    Daniel Flintoft

    Absolutely faultless training company. From start to finish the experience with Ridgeway was brilliant. Communications to and from was far beyond that of any other training company I have ever used and the delivery of the International Transport Managers course was phenomenal and ensured I entered the exam with full confidence and secured a high pass mark in the exams. I can not recommend Ridgeway Training enough for any of their training courses.

  • I would highly recommend Ridgeway Training
    Joseph Halpin

    I’ve just completed my Transport Manager course with Ridgeway Training and I can honestly say the whole experience was outstanding from beginning to end. The course materials arrived promptly, and their dedicated app made studying so much easier and more structured. The support from the Ridgeway team has been second to none, guiding me every step of the way. A special thanks goes to David Pries, whose patience and commitment went above and beyond—he even gave up his own time to help me through the areas I found most challenging. I would highly recommend Ridgeway to anyone considering training; their professionalism and support are second to none.
