Mike
Passed 1st time
I booked a semi-intensive LD course with Alan which he kindly scheduled to fit around my 9-5 job in Nottingham City Centre. I passed my test first time after the two week course having never previously had a driving lesson.

I was out driving my own car with confidence in rush hour traffic within hours of passing. This is testament to both the LD method, which includes textbook and DVD content to support your practical lessons, and Alan as an instructor, who is patient, experienced and thoroughly nice chap.

Passed 1st time
I took a one week pass course with Alan. At the start of the week i was very nervous, but Alan took me through everything.If i got it wrong we went over it again, until i got it right. 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.

Passed 1st time
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.
