Success Stories
Meet Denise
When I decided I wanted to be a Driving Instructor I opted for LDC because right from the first interview I was made to feel welcome. Not only would I receive first class training but I could also become a franchisee in a nationally recognised network. Most of all, I wanted to be my own boss but at the same time have the backup of a successful team.
The learning materials provided by LDC were easy to use and, as a working mom, the flexibility of home study was ideal. The option of regular practical training sessions during Parts 2 and 3 fitted well with my other commitments and allowed me to prepare for lessons and consolidate on what I had learned. Extra in-car tuition was available when I needed it (for re-takes!) at no extra cost, making the training package very good value for money.
Thank you LDC
Meet Ken
I chose LDC after considering other companies because I thought the LDC Training package and Franchise was the best available. I am still part of the LDC franchise after 12 years and am very happy.
When I decided to train as a driving instructor, I applied to several companies to see what was on offer. I selected LDC because of the complete package they offered and the way that they presented themselves. The training and back up was so helpful and professional, that after I had qualified, I had no hesitation in joining the franchise.
After three good years with LDC, I decided to have a go on my own and although successful, I missed the support that comes from being part of a larger organisation. I would not have considered joining anyone else, so I have now rejoined LDC.
Future prospects with LDC
Once qualified, nobody in the driver training industry can offer you better opportunities for career advancement than LDC. Once you have got some miles under your wheels as a LDC instructor, you can upgrade your skills further and command a higher hourly income. And as the LDC instructor network expands, openings arise in management and tutor training. Where possible, we like to recruit from within the network.
This is an exciting time to be entering the driver training industry. The standard of training that the Driving Standards Agency requires of driving instructors is rising steadily. The sophisticated European approach to driver training (i.e. off-road training centres and compulsory professional training) is beginning to be taken seriously in the UK, and those driving instructors who are leading the industry by the most modern methods at the top end of the market will thrive whilst those stuck in the past will fall by the wayside.
And where do you find these leading instructors? LDC, of course.
