I trained with LDC and have been operating on a franchise for over 2 years, which helped me to become established, and to fill my diary quicker than if I had been independent.
After looking at several training companies LDC's training seem to best suite my needs. From day 1 I realised that the training was designed to help you pass part 3 and not just the individual stages. Part 1 was a long period as I was working full time and taking 2 young children to and from school, so I was able to really go at my own pace. Part 2 training was excellent and prepared me well to be able to pass 1st time and with only 3 minors.
Part 3 is where LDC come into their own the training was intense but exceptionally well delivered and tailored to suite me as an individual, not one size fits all. It gave me the knowledge and confidence to take the test and be successful at the 1st attempt.

When I decided to try and become a driving instructor I had a look at the larger driving schools websites and what they had to offer. I was not only looking at the cost but what I would get in return for my outlay both in the way of pre-qualification training and post qualification support. I am glad that I decided to train with LDC as apart from being very professional in the way the course was presented and structured, I also felt that I was treated on an individual basis and not just a number. All through my training, I felt that I was important to the company and they offered good support when needed. After qualifying, I am pleased that I decided to join the franchise as it really helped get my business started and the support still continues.

When I had made the decision to become a driving instructor, like most people I looked into the various training options. LDC were the only training provider that seemed to consider whether I would be able to make it. The others seemed only interested in telling me how much money I could make and how their company could offer a discount off their fees. Only LDC offered a sensible and realistic approach to how long the training would take. I was given honest answers to all my questions.
On receiving the initial pack, I found it somewhat daunting, but a call to the training department soon put things into perspective. By using the forum, I was able to see that others had also felt that sense of “oh my god, what have let myself in for?”. I was encouraged and motivated by the support I received, not only from the training department but also by other PDI's using the forum.
The series of end of module tests made sure that I made progress towards my Theory test in such a way that, on the day of the test, I did not expect to do anything other than pass. In fact I actually felt disappointed not to have achieved 100%, the materials were that good.
My tutor for Part 2 and Part 3 was excellent. He made sure that everything we covered was not only done to the highest possible standard but that I understood the reasoning behind each module. Even now, some two years after passing part 3, whenever we speak on the telephone or meet up at the local test centre, he is still offering support and kind words.
The Induction Course was, as with all matters relating to LDC, of the highest quality. The Trainers, because they are ADI's, were able to pass on their knowledge in a manner which was both informative and practical and it was nice to be able to put faces to the names.
I have been with the franchise for two years since passing Part 3. The materials provided to support me as an ADI, are second to none. The quality of the website is always commented upon by my learners.
