Red Rose Training - Manchester

I completed my Class D training with Red Rose Training, and it was a fantastic experience. The organization provides driver training in a highly professional manner, and the office staff are always ready to assist with any queries.

Mr. Patt was my instructor, and his excellent teaching skills and clear demonstrations played a key role in helping me pass my road test on my first attempt.

I sincerely wish the Red Rose team all the best!

Having been an HGV driver for 30 odd yrs, I decided earlier this year to take my Cat D licence. From my initial enquiry into how to go about this, Natalie and the team at Red Rose were very helpful and knowledgeable in assisting me. This ranged from sorting out the transfer of my HGV DCPC to include Cat D entitlement to setting everything up. I met Steve, my instructor to be at my initial assessment. He was honest, open and very fair indeed with the hours he indicated I’d need to sit my test - to the point that he was apologising that he’d given me 8hrs in total!! Steve is a very knowledgeable and calm instructor, who was fantastic to be out and about with. He makes you feel at ease from the outset and it was a pleasure to be out driving with him. Due to my years of lorry driving, he was critical where he needed to be, but also positive for everything else. The 8 hrs sailed by and I enjoyed every minute I was out. I was introduced to Pat for the reversing test, who was also a lovely man to meet and is part of the RR team. I cannot praise highly enough all the team at RR, and it’s not the first time I have been trained by them, having sat a CPC National course with them previously. Thank you all for making it such a wonderful experience in obtaining my Cat D licence. I have no hesitation in highly recommending you to anyone for their driving or learning needs. I wish you all the very best for the future. Dave R.

I completed my Category D training with Red Rose on the 4th April 2025.

I cannot fault the service I received. From the first day attending my medical assessment, through the theory tests, to passing my final driving test, the service has been first class.

Special thanks to Pat who took me for my driving training. He was excellent. His demeanour was always calm and collected even when I made mistakes. He provided constructive feedback, and criticism when necessary (the words “watch your swing in those mirrors” will be etched in my mind).

I would highly recommend Red Rose.

I recently completed my PCV bus license training with Red Rose Bolton, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the outstanding instruction I received. A huge thank you to my instructor, Pat—his patience, expertise, and dedication made all the difference in my learning experience.

Pat’s knowledge of the industry is second to none, and he always took the time to explain things clearly, ensuring I felt confident behind the wheel. His calm and supportive approach helped me develop the skills needed to pass my test and become a safe and competent driver.

If you’re looking for professional, top-quality training, I highly recommend Red Rose Bolton, and if you have the chance to train with Pat, you’re in the best hands possible. Thanks again for everything!

I can't recommend Red Rose enough! Thanks to their exceptional training, I passed my driving test on the first try! From the first moment, the staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in my success.
My instructor PAT, was incredibly patient and made each lesson enjoyable while also focusing on building my confidence behind the wheel. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. #LEGEND
He didn't just teach me how to drive, He gave me the skills and knowledge to be a safe, confident driver on the road.
Whether it was helping me perfect parallel parking or calming my nerves before the test, He supported me every step of the way.
Thanks to Red Rose, I now feel fully prepared for the road ahead.
If you're looking for a supportive, professional driving school that gets results, look no further!

A very good professional company.
The employees all work hard, and there is a good, positive, friendly attitude.
They got me through my Cat D (Bus) driving tests first time. There's no skiving and silliness, everything was relevant to the course, because of this, I felt I got value for money. My instructor, Bill H, was brilliant.
I would undoubtedly recommend them.
