# Peter Smythe Transport Training Ltd
Peter Smythe Transport Training Ltd, based in Sutton-in-Ashfield, is part of the Lifft training network and specialises in professional driver qualification courses. They deliver HGV, bus, minibus and LGV training to aspiring and experienced drivers throughout the Midlands and surrounding regions.
The business serves two distinct audiences: complete beginners looking to transition into professional driving careers, and qualified drivers seeking to upskill and advance their credentials. Their experienced NVDR-approved instructors guide candidates through classroom tuition, practical driving instruction and formal DVSA assessments.
What sets Peter Smythe Transport Training apart is their structured approach through the Lifft course portfolio. Rather than one-size-fits-all training, they offer five core programmes—Core, Advantage, Essential, Professional and Ultimate—each designed for specific entry points and career aspirations. The LIFFT Core programme, for instance, bridges car drivers into professional HGV or bus driving in just 19.5 hours. Their Ultimate package even includes a guaranteed pass offer on three retests, recognising that some candidates need additional support.
Pricing is transparent and competitive, with significant savings highlighted against standard rates. They also provide low-commitment taster sessions (£49) for those exploring career changes, removing barriers to initial engagement. Their multiple training locations and flexible course types—from driving courses to assessments and classroom-based learning—ensure accessibility for various schedules and learning preferences. This combination of specialised instruction, structured pathways and customer-focused pricing makes them a standout choice in professional driver training.
