Driving Instructor Training

Be your own boss

Take control of your life
Because of the freedom and flexibility with which they work, driving instructors are entitled to the status of self-employment with all the tax advantages that it confers. As a consequence, all driving instructors in the UK, regardless of which driving school they work for are self-employed. As an LDC instructor, you will therefore have the freedom and the incentive to create your own prosperity.

Charlotte and Roger

The better you are at your job, and the better you look after your customers, the more you can prosper financially. In short, you enjoy all the advantages of being your own boss without any of the disadvantages.

Flexibility is the key - you decide the hours you want to work. So whether you are looking to work part-time or full-time this can easily be accommodated. You also have the strength of a successful driving school behind you providing all the support, advice, marketing and management know-how that are vital for success. And of course you get to use the unique LD tuition system, (see ‘LD System’).

Success Stories

Having completed parts one and two of my ADI training with another large national driving school, I found myself struggling with part three and decided that a change of school would be a good option. I approached several schools, including the one that never stops advertising but I felt that LDC appeared to be the most professional: they actually wanted to interview me before taking my application forward!

Consequently, I travelled to head office in Pontefract and met Bob Morton. After a very enjoyable interview, I was offered a franchise, subject to passing part three.

My tutor for the part three training was Richard Clarke who was a revelation. His teaching style was professional, confidence building and utterly supportive and I duly qualified as an ADI.

As I meet and speak to more and more ADI's, I am convinced that the LDC franchise is probably one of the best there is. The head office staff are always helpful, friendly and above all totally professional. They are clearly committed to "the cause"!

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.

I decided to become a driving instructor after graduating from university and failing to find a graduate job. After a lot of research into training companies, LDC was recommended to me by a work colleague whose partner was training with LDC. Signing up with LDC has been the best career decision I have ever made, I now have a job that I love, working with in my opinion the best driving school in the country.

I found the LDC training course excellent; no minor detail is left to chance. What I liked about LDC is the dedicated training team who were always there to help. My local LDC tutor was fantastic, always available to answer any questions whether big or small. I passed my part 1 & 2 on my first attempt and my part 3 on my 2nd attempt. I would never have done this without the high quality of training I received from LDC.

After qualifying it was a natural step for me to join the LDC franchise. Now 10 months on from qualifying I have a thriving driving school business with all the support I need just a phone call away.

If you are serious about becoming a driving instructor I would highly recommend LDC as your training company.
