I can't thank him enough
I am really glad that I had Paul as my instructor and that I learnt to drive with LDC. I was a really nervous driver when I first started and Paul was really patient and understanding with me. He took the time to make sure we worked at a pace that I was comfortable with and I didn't feel rushed or pressured. I felt supported throughout the whole experience by Paul and having the LDC workbook really helped me, especially with manoeuvres and getting ready for the test. I found the online student account really useful as well to help me prepare for my theory test. Paul is a really friendly instructor and made me feel calm and relaxed. He really helped me to build my confidence on the road and around larger vehicles. I can't thank him enough for helping me and would recommend Paul to anyone looking to learn to drive.

Lynn was incredibly patient
It took quite some effort for me to learn to drive and Lynne was with me every step of the way, even during the difficult times. She was incredibly patient and supported me throughout my entire journey. At the start of the lessons, she gave me the LDC driving skills workbook and recommended watching videos on LDC Learning Portal which turned out to be super useful.

Kate was amazing
My experience with Kate was amazing, she always found availability for me if you were unable to attend my scheduled lesson. She always made me feel comfortable and was easy to talk to and gave helpful tips which made me a better driver. She helped me with building up my confidence and making me feel comfortable and safe on the road. The LDC workbook helped me reflect and understand what I needed to work on for each lesson and set goals I wanted to achieve on the next lesson. It also had helpful information on the rules of the road and useful tips to use when driving. Overall my experience with Kate was amazing and I definitely recommend working with Kate and LDC to achieve becoming a confident and safe driver!

I honestly thought my pass wouldn’t come
I highly recommend David for driving lessons. His expertise and patience throughout each individual lesson was pertinent in me passing. I honestly thought my pass wouldn’t come but it was thanks to David’s calm words which allowed me to thrive. David is very friendly and always ensured to make lessons as light hearted as possible. David always reassured me I could do it even when I thought I couldn’t!
All lessons were individualised to myself which was vital in ensuring I was developing the skills I found most daunting. David’s knowledge of the roads, cars, and how learners think ensured I never felt alone with my anxieties. I found the LDC workbook extremely helpful for remembering the highlights and the learning moments to ensure I could work on these further! David always ensured to listen to my anxieties no matter how big or small and always made me feel better about this. I wouldn’t have passed without the tools David provided, so I cannot thank him enough!
I would recommend David!

Recommend to everyone
Great instructor, very patient and knowledgeable in driving tips and teaching content. Very nice and friendly throughout. Recommend to everyone. I liked the LDC workbook, it was very helpful and the videos were a good way to visually see what the manoeuvre looks like in action. The hub was good for the theory test prep as the questions were similar to the actual.

When I started with Ant and LDC I was nervous at first, but Ant was able to help me become a confident driver. His ability to teach me was incredible, by simplifying instructions or letting me take my time if I felt overwhelmed. The LDC system felt very simple to understand and has assisted me in learning to drive. I am very happy to say Ant is a brilliant Instructor and I am very grateful.

I was so nervous when I started my first lessons, I had never before driven a car, and would never of thought I’d be driving, Andy Horn was fantastic and put me at ease straight away, Andy also had so much patience when I had a meltdown or got upset, Andy always knew what to do to cheer me up. Andy always had so much faith in me and keeping me going. The LDC driving skills workbook helped me throughout with the individual lessons, I could learn prior to getting into the car for the next lesson, this was a massive help, Andy preparing me for the test had been really good we’ve learning the test route, I have been worried about everything and putting it all together but with Andy he made it so much better In preparation for test, thank you Andy absolutely brilliant teacher. I passed with just 1 minor driving fault.

Passed with ZERO driving faults
Ged is amazing, hand down the best instructor I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few instructors. I had done 2 other tests previously and lost all my confidence, but Ged built it all back up and made me the driver I am. I had the benefit of 2hr lessons which I could not recommend more, it really gives you the time to practise, Also the whole LDC system is great with the textbook provided and all the diagrams used to really explain tricky concepts. All in all, I had a great time learning with Ged and will very much miss driving with him.

The LDC workbook was brilliant
Patrick is a great Instructor, What I liked most was that during the process of me making an error he didn't jump straight in to correct it, he left it until I realised the error myself which I felt for me was great because he allowed me to realise my own mistakes so I can then get it right the next time. The LDC workbook was brilliant because before or after a lesson if I had forgotten something or wasn't sure, I could have a look in the book. This helped me retain the information I needed. After my first failed theory test I used the online hazard perception videos and these helped me to pass because of how similar they were to the real ones. I passed on my first attempt.

With previous instructors, I struggled
Throughout my life I never thought I was going to take up driving, however, I ended up finding myself in a position where obtaining a licence was a requirement to advance my career. With previous instructors, I struggled to get a grip with driving due to anxiety. Jackie has been truly outstanding and always made me feel as if I would inevitably get over my self-doubts. Her lessons were always tailored around the skills that we both felt that I had to work on, which always made me feel as if I was strongly progressing during and after each lesson. She also gave me highly beneficial advice on how to prepare for my practical test, such as watching YouTube videos of busy roundabouts which allowed me practice at identifying instances in which it would be safe to emerge onto one. The LDC workbook was also very useful. Once again, a huge thank you to Jackie, and I will be seeking further guidance from her on how to safely navigate motorways!

James’s was thorough
What I appreciated about my driving instructor James, was the thoroughness of his instruction. After completing each driving skill exercise we would park up away from heavy traffic to have an appraisal. This was carried out by having a dialogue with James on how I carried out the exercise and what I learned from doing the exercise. I used the LDC Driving Skills workbook to read about the driving skills I had to learn to become a competent driver. The LDC workbook is designed to be driver student interactive; where as a student, I appreciated the logical progression of knowledge and skills to be learned and marked off as progress is made. The LDC Workbook covers from appreciation of how the motor cars behaves in conjunction with a driving exercise, the fundamental skills and driving behaviours to be learnt. At the back of the Workbook it explains the driving test and what the driving test examiner expects and observes and how and what the student driver should carry out. Thank you again for your driving instruction and for helping me to pass. All The Best, Paul.

The LDC System is very helpful as it has everything in one place for the theory as well as being able to see your next lessons. Stephen is very patient and good at explaining things in different ways if you do not understand them first time.

I felt well prepared and if I needed to practice anything in particular then Stephen would happily go over it. I passed first time.
