I do not recommend using ldc If you are looking to become a adi driving instructor. I paid around £2600 for a very Poor service they are more interested in giving you a box full of books and using teams to teach you and than actually in car training and they cannot even provide you with a audited registered trainer . My first trainer didn’t get in contact with me .my second trainer had never trained a driving instructor. And my 3rd trainer was brilliant he knew exactly what he was on about but sadly I only one one session with him because my 2 years passed up and my 3rd attempt . Head office are useless I asked for a trainer midway through my training and just put my training on hold waiting even more time and to make matters worse none of my training is refundable apparently I would be more than happy for ldc to contact me about my pore experience

I was taught by their Wolverhampton-based Instructor called Nirmal Singh, who stole £480 of my money that I paid him for advance lessons (12 of them) but he never paid me back nor taught me the 12 lessons he was meant to teach. Here’s my story.

Nirmal taught me 23 Lessons between 7th December last year till January 12th this year. Shortly before my 23rd/final lesson with him on the 12th of January. I bulk-bought 12 additional lessons/slots with him which cost me £480, that I payed him via bank transfer but then HE DISAPPEARED WITH MY MONEY… and I kept chasing him via WhatsApp and he responded saying he'll return it but never did. Eventually he said he'll find an alternative instructor for me but never did that either and by end of February, he completely avoided responding to me. I was nothing but consistently polite and engaging towards him and this just proves how heartless he is to have ran off with a student's money like that.

STEER AWAY, HE'S A FRAUD. I TRIED REPORTING HIM TO LDC DRIVING SCHOOL BUT WEREN'T TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS, other than having revealed to me that his Instructor's license expired last year in September.. WHICH CAME TO ME AS A SHOCK THAT I SAT IN A FRAUDSTER'S CAR FOR 23 LESSONS, UNAWARE THAT HE WAS FRAUDULENTLY TEACHING ME & LATER, STEEL MY MONEY!! HAVE REPORTED HIM TO THE POLICE FINALLY, as this year I just had a lot of family drama going on, not to have focused on dropping a review and just grew tired of chasing him earlier this year but now that my head was clear, I realised I should've dropped this review a lot sooner in case he's still fraudulently teaching others.

Wow, first lesson for my Daughter out the way and she was buzzing, helped by the fact her instructor is an amazing chap.

Chris has to be one of the most informative and knowledgeable instructors out there. He made her feel at ease, calm and relaxed.

Thank you Chris Allanson.

This morning travelling between Ackton and Pontefract Golf course was a Chris Buttle instructor, with poor visibility due to fog , having a silver car and no lights on in them conditions is not very good training , I gave a 1 star but should be a zero but wouldn’t let me post this with a zero

9 months and £800 in lessons and ldc pontefract still did not teach my daughter to use her mirrors. Failed twice. LDC do not respond to complaints they just ignore you. Bad service. This is a real review and i can prove it. Would like a response to my complaint made 6 weeks ago!!!

Pass with oly (oliver) Forest of Dean - he’ll teach you to park in front of driveways, blocking people in and to pull out with out looking or use of indicators right in front of other road users!
