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.
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’).

I had thought about being a driving Instructor for many years but always a little scared to take that step. Eventually I decided I was going to make the move and so started to look into the options. I found many websites of companies that would train you but it wasn't until I came across LDC website that I felt they put all the facts there for you to read. To me it seemed that they where very much motivated to get you through all your exams and not just to take your money.
I then continued to follow the path of LDC and started to do my training with them. Throughout the whole time there was always someone who could answer your questions and a brilliant forum where you can discuss questions with fellow trainee's and instructors. I have now qualified as an ADI and because I was so impressed with the training I received I decided to continue with the LDC franchise.
LDC have helped me achieve my goal and in the process made it very enjoyable. I would fully recommend LDC to anyone interested in becoming a driving instructor.

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.

Having decided that to qualify as a driving instructor would be interesting, rewarding and time flexible; I looked at four major companies for training. Spending over 30 years in advertising I was immediately impressed by LDC's approach which was the best presented professional literature with great structure. With the flexibility of training whilst still working an existing job providing a safe way to change career, but for me the deal clincher was the chance to join the amazing driving school franchise. The opportunity to run and developed my own business whilst having the considerable support of a nation wide company with a family business feeling.
I have just completed my franchise induction course, having met all the people who have developed this great system for us. With the freedom to choose the car I want, the area I want to work in and retain full control of our own diary what else could I ask for? So to summarise, for me, LDC stands for a great proven product, a completely flexible job and the best support you could wish for. Thanks LDC.
