Semi-intensive Course Extra

Down to earth guy

Gordon was very patient and explained everything thoroughly. Down to earth guy. The LDC system was good. It encourages you as the learner to decide what you learn and how fast you can learn. The LDC app and workbook were very useful to me in learning manoeuvres but also in passing my theory.

I needed to pass before my A-Level exams

The LDC semi-intensive course I undertook was perfect as I needed to pass before my A-Level exams. I passed first time due to the teaching given by my instructor. He made sure I understood everything as I was taking my lessons and we also did mock tests before my practical test. The mock tests helped more than I expected. My instructor was very good and I never felt like he was being ambiguous. I would rate the overall experience more than 10/10.

Highly recommended passed first time

Passed my test first time and in such a short amount of time on an LDC semi intensive course. My instructor Graham was very calm and gave me the confidence to complete my lessons and test. I would recommend Graham as he is calm, patient and a confidence builder he will discuss your progress with you and explain areas to work on. Highly recommended. Thank you Graham.

Semi-Intensive course

Great course, very concise and easy to follow. Highly recommend.

Good pass today

After 3 months on a semi-intensive course I have passed, I wouldn't have been able to do it without the support and reassurance Mick has provided. My confidence has grown every week and Mick is very patient, reassuring and easy to get along with. Mick is a brilliant driving instructor and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn. Thank you Mick

Passed 1st time

I did a semi-intensive course with Dawn Kitson my driving instructor. During our sessions she encouraged me to take responsibility for my own learning, progress and development. At the end of every lesson she asked me to consider what I wanted to focus on the following session and reminded me to read the passages in the book and the video clips, as well as to observe other drivers. Then at the start of each session she would ask me what I thought I needed to improve on and why, depending on my thoughts and her observations we would discuss these elements prior to setting off. Therefore I lead the focus of the lesson, and she nurtured my development through that. During sessions whenever we came to challenging situations, or my actions / performance required analysing, Dawn would open a discussion with ‘How do you think that went?’, she would then give me time to think, reflect and consider how I handled the situation, if I could have done better, how I could of done better. Only if I couldn’t give an answer, or my answer needed expanding on, would Dawn step in and adjust my thoughts. She encouraged me to talk through my own solutions to the problems I was presented with. The way that Dawn works allowed me to always be open and honest about my progress, the elements that I found challenging and the areas I didn’t understand. I felt there was nothing I couldn’t discuss, I was at ease asking even the most ‘stupid’, obvious questions. Ones I thought that I should already know the answer to. When I did make mistakes Dawn encouraged me to see this mistakes, solve the issue and guide me through any misconceptions that may have resulted in the mistake in the first place. At the end of the lesson, we discussed the session and the progress made. Dawn would ask me how confident I was feeling on the areas covered in the session. Then, as stated at the start of this document, would prompt me to consider the focus for the next lesson etc. Dawn’s outgoing manner, calm approach, questioning and thought provoking approach I believe allowed me to be calm, remain focused, challenge myself and progress my learning and enjoy myself.

A Confident Drive and First Time Pass

Steve is an excellent instructor and I highly recommend him to others. Calm and patient, he quickly recognised the best pace for me to progress in a way which built my skills and confidence. He gave really thoughtful and useful advice about all aspects of learning to drive, the test, and what comes after. He was really flexible and accommodating with lesson times, and very responsive my nerves and other concerns. The LD System worked very well, helping me to understand and visualise the different sets of skills and awareness needed to get started and progress in a clear, step-by-step fashion. This preparation allowed me to get stuck-in straightaway during the lessons themselves, and also helped a lot between lessons reflecting on my progress and identifying where and how I could improve.

Passed 1st time with only 35hrs of lessons!

The LDC Workbook was very useful, videos were good too. Jackie was a fantastic Instructor, I’m very glad I learnt with her. It was useful having the workbook as it meant I got to spend a larger portion of my lessons driving, which was particularly useful as I did a semi-intensive course. The lessons were well structured and I felt very confident going into test. I’m grateful to Jackie for the excellent instruction, thank you!

Passed 1st time - 3 minors

I passed first time after completing the LDC semi-intensive driving course! James was a great instructor. His positive attitude meant that I quickly grew in confidence and didn't feel stressed when I made a mistake. Lessons moved at a perfect pace - I never felt pushed to do anything that I wasn't comfortable with, but was consistently making progress. He explained things clearly and broke them down into simple steps meaning that I was confident to perform maneuvers such as the parallel park after a few practices. I would definitely recommend James as a driving instructor and am very thankful to him for making my driving experience such a positive one! Thanks again for all your help and support, and I may be in touch at some point for some motorway lessons!

Semi Intensive Course - Passed First Time

"I passed first time on an LDC semi-intensive course. The calm environment created in the car was very helpful when learning and this made the whole process much easier and more enjoyable. Everything was explained clearly and in detail; Karen's endless patience is amazing!

The LDC workbook goes through everything in great detail, and will probably be useful to me for years to come. The DVD was incredibly useful to show you exactly what to do, and is immensely helpful with the timing. Manoeuvres have never been more fun, set up as a challenge to conquer them one by one."
