Trading as DULSON TRAINING LIMITED · Hortonwood 30, Hadley, Telford, Shropshire, TF1 7ET · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury
Dulson Training Ltd Telford in short
Dulson Training is a family-run driver training organisation with a Telford centre at Hortonwood, covering lorry and bus licences, Driver CPC, forklift, first aid and trailer training across several centres. The Telford operation runs its own DVSA customer driving test site, and the company record shows the limited company active for well over a decade.
Customer reviews are strong: nearly five stars on Google from a healthy base of ratings. This review still cannot rank the school for car lessons, because no DVSA approval for car instructors is stated on the pages opened, so it fails our registration requirement. No car-lesson prices are published either. In our judgement Dulson Training suits someone chasing a commercial licence rather than first car lessons.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Dulson suits someone chasing a commercial licence rather than first car lessons, with its own Telford test site and a live company record behind it [2] [3]. It still fails our registration requirement because no DVSA ADI approval for car instructors is stated, and no car-lesson prices are published [1] [2].
Score summary
We researched this provider but have not scored it, because it did not meet one of our eligibility requirements.
G3 · Dulson runs its own DVSA customer driving test site at Hortonwood [2], but none of the pages opened states DVSA ADI approval for its car instructors, so this requirement fails.

Questions about Dulson Training Ltd Telford
Is Dulson Training any good?
For commercial licences, the record impresses: its own Telford test site, several centres, a live company record and nearly five stars on Google. For first car lessons it is unranked, since no car-instructor approval is stated. Book commercial training direct; choose a ranked school for car lessons.
Is Dulson Training DVSA approved?
For car lessons, no approval can be sourced: none of the pages opened states DVSA ADI approval for its car instructors, so it fails our registration requirement. Running its own customer test site is a different credential and does not cover instructor approval. Ask for the car instructor ADI number and check it on GOV.UK.
How much does Dulson Training charge?
No car-lesson prices are published on the pages opened; course costs sit behind course pages and the booking enquiry form. Commercial course pricing comes through its own enquiry route. Ask for the full written price, including test fees and retests, before paying anything.
Where does Dulson Training work?
The Telford centre sits at Hortonwood, with further centres in Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Nantwich and Wrexham covering commercial and trailer training. Send your postcode and licence category when you enquire. Confirm course dates and the total price in writing before booking.
How is Dulson Training ranked?
It is not ranked for car lessons: it fails our registration requirement because no car-instructor approval is stated. Its commercial operation and strong reviews sit outside this trade table. If the school sends car-instructor approval through the Claim a listing link, the next round can reassess it.
