I am over the moon, Laura is lovely

Laura is lovely, breaks down all the different parts perfectly. Helped me stay confident during stressful situations and after failing tests. I found the LDC workbook useful to look through before my lessons and the pictures were handy when Laura was explaining things. Overall I have enjoyed my driving lessons and looked forward to them, I will miss them in the future but over the moon I passed!

Great instructor

Ant was a great Instructor, who made the lessons enjoyable. I was able to choose what I would like to improve on each lesson, and I always felt calm and relaxed even when I made mistakes. The LDC theory test preparation helped me to pass my theory first time due to the questions and tests provided. The LDC driving skills workbook helped to track my progress each lesson.

My experience with LDC has been excellent

My experience with LDC has been excellent from start to finish. The main reason behind this has been my instructor Mark Doggett, From the 1st lesson his calm and professional approach filled me with the confidence to continue my driving journey through to a successful test. LDC provided a workbook which let me check my progress and easily decide what I wanted to work on in each lesson. Marks coaching throughout was superb, my learning felt like a collaboration, his personality and rapport made discussing any errors (everyone will) or receiving praise felt constructive and motivating, I honestly cannot thank him enough.

I would 100% recommend

As a first time learner driver, it was really important for me to feel comfortable and safe with my instructor. I am so pleased to have found Mark at LDC, as from day one he made me feel confident and supported. Throughout my driving lesson journey I’ve managed to conquer short term and long term targets which was only possible due to the encouragement of Mark. The online resources and the LDC driving skills workbook were extremely informative and helpful, they not only helped me pass my theory test but now also my practical test. I want to take this opportunity to thank Mark for enabling me to pass first time. I may have done all the practical work but I couldn’t have done it without him. And I would 100% recommend him to future learners.

The best instructor around

Ben has taken my driving to the next level! I’ve managed to pass first time with ben and have become a more confident driver all round! Ben would help me understand my driving more and show me ways to improve so i’m very grateful for the experience! Had a laugh with ben too, many talks about music made the environment fun and comfortable to learn in! The LDC driving skills workbook I was given also helped to understand what I was learning and it broke it down into easy to read chunks. The check list of things too practice before the test, which I found in the book, really helped me visualise what I needed to work or learn and made me feel more prepared for the test being able to visualise all the different topics! Would definitely recommend Ben as one of the best instructors around, will miss our lessons!

Brilliant teaching skills - Automatic

I just passed my practical driving test at the very first attempt thanks to the great lessons I had with Bruce from the LDC. I chose him because his name came on top of the list of the DVLA approved instructors and he did not disappoint. He has brilliant teaching skills and a nice sense of humour which made me feel comfortable while driving (which is a lot to say given that I am a nervous person). LDC provides a learner's platform that is very useful to pass the theory test and when I took the driving test there were no surprises as Bruce had properly trained me for every item and it all went smooth. I couldn't be happier with my instructor choice and I am very grateful.

Excellent Instructor, well-organised, quick to respond

Patrick is an excellent Instructor, well-organised, quick to respond, patient and explains everything clearly. He gave me the courage to drive and helped me overcome my nerves.

I cannot recommend highly enough

Sevan is a very thorough and methodical instructor that I cannot recommend highly enough. He taught me from the very beginning, starting with the fundamentals such as clutch control, and we went from there at a pace tailored to my needs and comfort. We frequently referred to the LDC driving skills workbook to nail the key routines such as MSM and manoeuvres so I could always reflect on each lesson at home. The notes at the end of each session were also a great help in overcoming any difficulties I encountered. With Sevan's continuous support and guidance, I was able to pass my test on the first attempt! Thank you again Sevan!

Dylan Turner

An incredible instructor

Lee has been an incredible instructor, not just teaching me how to pass the test, but actually how to drive. Over the course of a few weeks, Lee’s holistic approach to instruction has ensured I feel comfortable and confident on the road in any situation. Whenever there was a discussion point, he’d give me the chance to think things through myself, ensuring I have a complete understanding, not just telling me what’s right and wrong. I always felt safe and at ease with Lee; there’s a real understanding that your mental state can have a big affect on how you drive, and Lee made sure to explore anything that arose so I continued to feel comfortable. I couldn’t recommend Lee enough. If you’re the kind of person who want’s to learn and become a great driver, then look no further. Thoughts on LDC: I found the workbook a helpful reference point. Particularly when it came near to test time, referring back to areas I’d covered some time ago. Of particular note, it was helpful to refer back to comments and thoughts I’d made after previous lessons, so I felt confident I was focussing on the right things and making improvements.

Very friendly, patient and understanding

David has been an excellent driving instructor. Throughout my learning journey, David has always been very friendly, patient and understanding. He explained topics/concepts in a clear and concise manner and helped me gain confidence with driving. The LDC system was also very useful throughout my learning. The videos helped me understand what to expect when covering topics/concepts during lessons and the book provided a more detailed explanation.

LDC System is brilliant

I thought the LDC System was a brilliant system with a very good way of learning at a good pace with very thorough lessons. Ant is a brilliant teacher, he explains things well, he's kind and helps you to progress at your own pace. I would highly recommend.

Amazing experience

Patrick Bailly is a very nice person and a very good Driving Instructor. Sometimes a psychologist when I was feeling down, negative or not confident. Pushed me to my limits to overcome my fears. Always responsible, kind and adaptive, explained all the time with calm. very good knowledge of the roads and all the information. I used the LDC workbook and the videos as I was struggling with a lot of things at the start I needed to understand better. The information is clear, easy to find, and open access to videos. They were very helpful for me. I used the LDC YouTube Channel for learning the key points for parallel parking and roundabouts, changing lanes and choosing the right lane in specific situations. It's showing step by step what we should do and it became easier and better for me when I was with Patrick on the roads. As I have a visual memory, when I was driving on my lessons sometimes I was remembering things from the videos and I knew how to deal with the situation. When I put everything into practice, with every lesson I gained confidence. I am grateful for all the materials and for the amazing experience with Patrick.

An overly kind person

I passed first time with Andy which is testament to his instructing/coaching. Andy used a flexible and clear approach to teaching which was adaptable to my learning style. His dedication is clear, and an overly kind person. I found the LDC system workbook to be very beneficial because it allowed me to prepare for my lessons in advance which allowed me to be prepared for each lesson and if I had any questions I can refer to the book was more than willing to answer any sessions at any time thank you, Andy.

Craig SWINNEY

A true professional

Mik is an excellent Instructor, who guided me through the challenges of learning to drive with understanding and patience. He is a true professional who clearly communicated and demonstrated what was required to become a safe driver, and pass the UK driving test. Mik was always on time to our lessons and ensured the sessions were well organised in advance. He was also flexible when I needed to reschedule due to work commitments. It is clear to me that Mik holds himself to the highest of standards and is committed to the success and safety of his student drivers. It was a pleasure to learn to drive with Mik, and I would happily recommend him to my friends, family or colleagues. The LD system helped me to understand key concepts prior to my lessons and allowed me to track my progression as I reflected on my lessons and the positive and negative aspects of each drive with Mik. The workbook is well illustrated and proved especially useful in preparing me for my test. I am extremely happy to have passed FIRST TIME and I believe this is largely due to Mik's tuition and the LD system.

Absolutely amazing

Ben has been absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend him highly enough!! Ben recognised that I have a different learning style and he totally supported me with all aspect of my learning using the LDC system and workbook. Ben went over and above to ensure I was ready to take my test and pass first time. I’ve really enjoyed my learning experience with Ben and will miss our chats.

A really enjoyable experience

Learning with Andy has been a really enjoyable experience. He is very patient and values my opinion on my own driving, making sure I recognised areas I could improve on. I always looked forward to my lessons with him. We worked at a pace I was comfortable with for me to make good progress. I would highly recommend learning with Andy😀 The LDC workbook was very helpful for helping me practice for my test. It is easy to follow and explains everything well. Having my own copy was helpful for me to learn/revise in my own time.
