My daughter was the first to start a training course to become a driving instructor some time ago with the Instructor College/Red driving school. The experience she had with this particular company made me far more cautious when I decided to become a driving instructor.
Having taken early retirement from a lengthy career in the Civil Service, I wanted a new challenge, something I might enjoy but not easy to achieve and training to be an ADI seemed to fit the bill. Looking around, the LDC training approach appealed, it was structured and yet allowed you to set your own pace and the support looked about right for my needs; I was not disappointed. The package of DVDs, written guidance and one to one instruction was of the highest quality, and if I needed support from the training team, it was always there and quickly. My daughter is still training with this other company but I often find her pouring over my LDC training materials. When she qualifies she wants to join me at LDC.

When I first thought about training to be a driving instructor, I spoke to an acquaintance who recommended LDC.
I was a bit daunted at first as a 'mature student' who had never been to college or done any home study before, but once I got into the course work it was fine. The training was very thorough and completely enjoyable, with a superb system of training, with lots of back up from my tutor when I was going through my 'wobbly' phases, with the result that I passed on my first attempt – phew!
The franchise is really well set up, with lots of backup there from a great team when I need it, but still with complete independence over how I run my business, and after just over a year, I can honestly say I can't think of a better way to earn my living.

I joined LDC after what seemed months of in depth research into various franchise schemes. I wanted to qualify quickly but at the end of the day the important thing was to qualify, and with LDC's superb training record and pass rate, it quickly became the obvious choice. With excellent training materials, one-to-one training and a friendly office team always on hand to help, I managed to become a qualified instructor.
I have been up and running for just over a year now and I honestly believe, I have the best of both worlds. Whilst I wasn't keen to become just a number in one of the bigger companies and I felt it too daunting to set up on my own. LDC is a happy medium; each instructor is able to operate independently with personalised websites and your own name and number on your car. So what's great is for a low monthly franchise, I am able to run the business and promote myself how I want, whilst still having the support of the office and a number of pupils generated by the sales team.
