Like many other potential ADI's my first decision was which company to use for my training. After researching two or three options it became obvious that one, LDC, was head and shoulders above the rest. LDC ticked ALL the boxes - from the comprehensive training they offered and the low franchise fee through to the support offered during and after qualifying.
Parts One and Two were passed first time, but when I struggled with Part 3 (failing twice) this is when LDC really came into their own. Extra training had already been offered, at NO further cost, after my first failed attempt then after my second fail, just when I thought the world was against me, Malcolm suggested I made the trip up to Head Office in Pontefract for some further training. I did as he suggested and received a further six hours of training, again at NO further cost, with Val Wood the head of the Training Department - then successfully passed my final attempt the following day ~ PHEW !! On my return to Head Office following my test all the team were genuinely delighted that I'd passed ~ that's what it's like - EVERYONE is made to feel special. A great team ethic.
A 3-day induction course followed with Bob Morton which, as well as being really interesting and informative, was also very relaxed and great fun.
A personalised website, Facebook/Google + page, discounted stock and some fantastic IT support are just a few of the things that the LDC driving school franchise offer their instructors ~ just what's needed when venturing out into the big wide world of Driver Training.
Being a driving instructor is a fantastic job - its a great feeling waking up in the morning actually looking forward to going to work!!!
My only regret about joining LDC ~ I should have done it YEARS ago !!!

When I decided to become a driving instructor I did a lot of research into the different companies. What made me look more closely at LDC was how they trained learners as I felt the LD System made sense to me and was the way I would have liked to have been trained so felt I could sell the benefits to others. The instructor training course was based on the same principles and approach, the home study allowed me to prepare for my in car training sessions and therefore make the most of this valuable time.
Before starting to teach we had a 3 day induction course at the head office which was invaluable in how to run your business correctly and professionally, and how to make the most of the LD System.
I have now been with the franchise for over 7 years now and it works perfectly for me. It allows me the freedom to build up my own reputation whilst having the benefits of their marketing expertise, brand name and most importantly the LD System as my USP to help me stand out from the rest.
Not only can I use the LD workbooks and DVDs but I can also sell them at a good profit, especially as they give me 50 LD workbooks a year worth £750 as part of my franchise agreement!

Trying to find the most suitable driving instructor training company quickly developed into a minefield of people asking me to sign contracts and sign cheques. I'm glad that I chose LDC because I had excellent training through out my course. The exams were not easy but with encouragement, good training and course material, I was successful and passed all three parts on my first attempts.
LDC is a very professional company who I found very genuine in their quest in helping me qualify. I couldn't have done it without them.
