Great guy, great instructor!
Lee is a fantastic and patient instructor who gave me great confidence as a driver. Even when I made mistakes he remained calm and patient with me and reassured me, taking the time to explain the mistake and help me understand how I can avoid it in the future. I struggled greatly with planning ahead while driving and reverse bay and parallel park, but Lee did some amazing lessons that greatly helped my understanding and technique to be able to do them successfully, which gave me so much confidence. I can’t recommend Lee enough, a great guy, great instructor! Take lessons with him, you won’t regret it. I can’t thank him enough for helping me through my exam! The LD system, including the resources on the website and the workbook are a great help. Each giving you a step by step guide on manoeuvres and accompanying videos that give clear instruction on how to complete each exercise. I can’t recommend the system enough, I wish I’d gone with them sooner!

Fun and Progressive Lessons
I recently passed my driving test using the LDC process with instructor Mark. A great help. Upon writing this review there were several commendable aspects about the process and LDC specifically. I would first like to touch on how useful the online resources were. It is a genuine driving bible. Every aspect of the course is on there including theory practice tests, the highway code, lesson modules and so on. A very useful tool to refer to. Secondly, I'd like to commend the lessons and teaching in general. I genuinely do not think there is a better teacher out there, Mark has the ability to defer stress in times of road panic. I remember one of my first junctions lessons I stalled the car three times within three minutes, through this Mark aided me with a reassuring 'not to worry' proceeded by instructions to get us out of the situations. The lessons were fun and progressive and we spent adequate time on each module, making efficient progress. Most importantly though, Mark is a very likeable person and makes the lessons feel ever so easy, he is equipped with gapes of road knowledge and has all of the correct resources and methods needed to succeed.

Siobhan and the LDC resources are amazing
Siobhan is an amazing driving instructor. The reason being she is easy to talk to and very patient when you’re learning to drive, which made me more relaxed and enabled me to learn quicker. Siobhan will make sure to talk through and show you the best techniques and if you feel like you don’t understand something and she will always make sure to tell you about ways that will help, such as the LDC videos or you can refer to the workbook you kindly get given before your first ever lesson. I found these resources amazing ways to learn when I was struggling to understand things.

Andy is a brilliant driving instructor
Andy is a brilliant driving instructor as he always makes you feel comfortable, no matter what And ensures you are confident in the area you are working on before you move onto the next section. As well as that he makes sure you are ready before your test to maximise your opportunity of passing this really helped me. The Driving Skills workbook and videos were really helpful as giving me guidance and support outside of my lessons. Especially the workbook as it explains each lesson and looks at what the examiner will be looking for. Overall, I really enjoyed my driving lessons. And amazed at how fast the time has gone by.

Friendly and approachable
LDC driving school played a pivotal role in helping me pass both my theory and practical driving tests first time as the LDC app and Driving Skills workbook were both extremely informative and easy to understand. Paul’s approach to teaching meant that I was always making progress without being pushed beyond my comfort zone, however, lessons were never boring. Paul is a friendly and approachable teacher who has great knowledge and offers useful advice to his students. Thanks to Paul, I passed my tests first time and I would strongly recommend him as an instructor.

No hesitation recommending Emile
Emile, my instructor was very good in terms of explaining how to drive safely. I felt very comfortable and well prepared when coming to the test.

Bob was absolutely amazing
My instructor was absolutely amazing, he was patient, encouraging and made the whole process enjoyable. Bob always had a positive attitude and helped me feel extremely, confident behind the wheel. He taught me all the important skills and techniques. I genuinely looked forward to every lesson with him. I couldn't have asked for a better in instructor, I would definitely recommend him. I found the LDC workbook extremely useful. It was very easy to read and understand and I felt having pages for self reflection of my driving was very useful for me.

My daughter loved her lessons
Shelly taught my daughter. Before any lessons took place Shelly came round to introduce herself and went through the LDC workbook. This was reassuring for me as a parent knowing who my daughter was disappearing with 2 hours every week! My daughter loved her lessons, was always saying how lovely Shelly is and how calm she made her feel. Shelly is very clear with instructions in the car, always professional, but remains extremely personable and friendly. I cannot recommend Shelly enough, she is an absolute gem.

I have not seen dedication like it!
I wish I had more time with Mark, his knowledge of the road, calmness and dedication to helping you pass is extraordinary. I have not seen dedication like it! His ability to reassure you and give you a confidence boost was one of the main reasons I passed as I was definitely under confident, however, with his reassurance, I was able to pass my test, first time! The online website for LDC definitely helped me pass my theory test too! My last point is this, if you are even considering doing lessons with Mark, go with it, you WILL NOT regret it, the lessons you learn from him about driving confidently and one of my favourite sayings from him, “it’s just another road” really has helped thrive now as driver who has passed their test. He truly is a one of a kind instructor!

I did the semi-intensive course
I highly recommend Paul! I did the semi-intensive course over two weeks, Paul ensured I felt confident in every aspect of driving prior to my test. He made the lessons light hearted and was reassuring when I found something challenging. The LDC workbook was really informative and was great to refer back to when not having lessons. Thank you so much! Milli

I had convinced myself I would never pass
I started learning to drive with Peter after years of bad luck with other driving schools and failing three practical driving tests. Before I started learning with Peter I had completely given up on the idea of ever being able to pass my test. I had no confidence in myself and had convinced myself I would never pass but Peter completely changed my attitude towards driving. After 12 driving lessons with Peter I passed my practical driving test, something which I would’ve never thought I could do! Peter is such a calm and patient driving instructor, he has all the time in the world to listen to your worries and help you to overcome fears you have with driving, my fear was parking and big roundabouts but I no longer have those fears! I would 100% recommend Peter to anyone who struggles with their confidence and anxiety surrounding driving. The LDC workbook helped me so much, as I said my fears were parking and roundabouts and the workbook explains everything you need to know. Thank you Peter!

Stella learning resources
Ben is an excellent instructor. I came to him with some driving experience in another country. He very patiently taught me to learn new driving habits and un-learn some of them that don't work in the UK. I found his use of the LD system extremely helpful and the material provided stellar learning support. He has also been extremely flexible in accommodating my availability through the process. Ben is extremely encouraging and patient in his teaching style, and I immediately felt confident that I would pass with his guidance. Naturally, I passed with Ben on my first try!

Kelly made me feel in safe hands
Kelly has been a patient and supportive instructor from the very beginning. She has accommodated my difficult work schedule, which has often meant postponing and changing lesson times. I had never driven before starting lessons with Kelly, but she always made me feel in safe hands. After having to take a break from lessons due to work I lost a lot of confidence and wasn’t sure I was ready for the test, but with Kelly’s dedication and perseverance I was able to pass first time. The LDC Driving Skills Workbook was also a massive help as I was able to read it in the gap from my lessons and it meant I kept the information fresh in my mind. Kelly was always quick to respond to messages and often sent me video links in between lessons for subjects I needed to focus on before my next lesson. I don’t think I’d have been able to do it without her, it really felt as though we were a team! I honestly cannot recommend Kelly enough!

James was very kind, professional and patient
I just recently passed my test for the first time with James as my instructor. James was very kind professional and patient with me and took his time to help me gain my confidence as I was a very nervous driver to begin with. His lessons were at the pace I was comfortable with and I got to choose what I was ready for and so was not asked to do anything I was uncomfortable with. The lessons are accompanied by an LDC workbook which was extremely helpful as each lesson follows the workbook, so if you need to recap at home or have a look ahead on what the next lessons will be you can. There is also a checklist on the workbook for every single thing you will need to be able to do for the test which was great as I could go through and highlight what I could do and then was able to work with James to go over the things I needed to work more on. James is an excellent instructor and I highly recommend him.

Shelly made driving fun
Shelly is an amazing driving instructor who made driving fun. I was hesitant to learn how to drive so it took my a while to get into it, however Shelly made me comfortable instantly and my nerves went away pretty quickly. The lessons always feel like they go super quick since it is fun but I still felt l learned a lot. Thanks to her I passed on my first test. Also, Shelly was definitely the perfect driving instructor for me, as we would learn a lot and she was always interested in what I was saying and my life outside of driving. I would definitely recommend Shelly to everyone, she’s fantastic at her job, and a lovely person too.

For a swift learning process use Mik
Mik is honest with you when you go wrong, but all critique is constructive. He knows what to say after you’ve made a mistake to set you back on track and to dispel any worries. Mik is always happy to answer any questions you might have. You have a say in what you would like to do in each lesson, which can help in addressing your weak areas. Mik pushes you out of your comfort zone in a safe and controlled way, which can make for a swift learning process. His patience has remained steadfast, though I’ve tested it thoroughly. The LDC workbook is useful when planning ahead for your next lesson and when reviewing anything you may have forgotten or unsure of. There is a good amount of information on the test too.
