HGV Driver Review

This apprenticeship gave me a highly informative insight and training program into the world of transport and logistics. My daily tasks include carrying out walk-round checks of all fleet vehicles before use on the road, loading and unloading of suppliers and customers, delivery of ordered goods to listed addresses, and much more.

I have learnt so much since starting this apprenticeship. It has allowed me to work on my customer service skills, as i interact with the customers more than any other role in the company. Keyline put me through all the necessary training needed to fufill my job role, such as forklift licence, ALLMI certification, all theory and practical hgv tests, and CPC courses.

I have had a great time since I begun working on this apprenticeship, I have met lots of wonderful people who have helped to educate me and keep me going while at work. The variety of day to day life changes every day so you never know where you will be going or what you will be doing (Driving/Yardwork)

Compared to other apprenticeships I have worked on, this course has been extremely well planned out, with training sessions and meetings being planned weeks/months in advance. All content is extremely well thought through and staff are extremely helpful and open to any questions you may have. My apprenticeship liaison Martin Sidwell has been an amazing help.

Keyline have been extremely helpful with every aspect of the apprenticeship, even with things outside of the apprenticeship, like my mental health, and money saving programmes. When it comes to asking for time to complete set work, the company tries its best to facilitate the time to finish, but understandably when busy, the job is a priority.

The staff at Mantra Learning have been vital in my progression from having no experience in the world of HGVs and Transport and Logistics, to being well versed in lots of aspects such as load security, Eco-driving, defensive driving and much more. When preparing for my test, my driver trainer (I apologise for not being able to remember his name) could not have been any more helpful.

With all of the training provided to me through Mantra, I believe that I am well versed in many aspects of HGV driving. The importance of Eco-driving, defensive driving, time management and representing your company could not have been made any clearer from the courses provided. The course has allowed me to provide an amazing service to our customers.

Keyline always have something for you to take part in while outside of work hours. From organising Christmas Party Events, to going to the horse races, there is plenty to be done with the company. All the staff are extremely friendly and always look out for each other inside of work and out.

Yes

I would recommend Keyline as a good company to work for as they have provided me with an invaluable training service, and an amazing environment to work in with supportive colleagues. The company offers so many services to its staff such as hundreds of discounts, mental health services and money saving services.

The best advice that I could give someone applying to Keyline would be do apply as soon as possible. This company tries its hardest to look after its staff, and to do everything it can to make work enjoyable for its staff. Keyline prides itself on up-skilling its staff into better paying roles and opportunities.
