Each day clicked a little more, building my confidence and helping me gain knowledge of not only the roads but how to judge people and be ready if something suddenly happened.By test day i was ready and raring to go and i passed 1st time with flying colours, even the examiner said i deserved a gold certificate for achieving such a standard in 5 days, I cannot recommend Alan enough, and have to most of my friends.

Driving. One of life's most basic and essential skills.Looking for the best instructor amongst the sea of choices was a challenge. But i knew i made the right decision by enrolling Alan at LDC.I chose the semi Intensive course and did 2 or 3 hour lessons every week.The LDC workbook and DVDs helped me understand the different aspects of driving and saved valuable time in the car for actual driving. From the very start up until the end, Alan was always calm and patient with me even though i don't get it right most times. His deep knowledge which he imparts to all his students and years of experience helped me gain confidence which was valuable indeed when taking the practical exam. I passed 1st time! Thank you Alan.
