LDC Driving School - David Hooper

General information

The Learner Driving Centre (LDC) is now one of the largest and most successful national driving schools networks in the UK.

LDC has hundreds of male and female driving instructors’ nationwide operating their own local LDC driving schools specialising in providing intensive driving courses and driving lessons using the revolutionary LD System of driving tuition and our unique student centred approach. Discover the difference - pass quicker, save money and give yourself the best possible start to a life time of safe driving.

LDC's unique student centre learning approach
Unlike traditional instruction LDC heavily promotes student centred learning. This involves the student being encouraged to take more responsibility for their own development by using the LD System materials before and after each lesson and by using discovery learning with self determination and reflection; rather than being continually criticized and told what to do by the instructor.

The LDC ‘student centred’ approach actively encourages self-reliance, confidence and responsibility resulting in safer drivers who learn to drive far more quickly.

The revolutionary LD System of tuition
The idea behind the LD System is that you watch the video, do a quiz in the workbook and then put the lesson into practice. The workbook also contains a set of activities and targets for each practical lesson along with a reflective diary to help you consolidate your learning, explore your progress and plan what you want to do next.

If you are serious about wanting to pass first time, quickly and for the least amount of money then take ownership of the process with LDC's unique student centred learning approach and training resources.

Pass in 1 to 6 weeks with your local LDC driving school
While your local LDC driving school might not offer the cheapest driving lessons they are certain to offer you one of the cheapest and indeed quickest ways to learn to drive and pass the driving test. If you choose one of the intensive driving courses it should only take a matter of weeks rather than months to pass. The LD System not only helps you to pass the test quickly it also helps ensure you become a highly skilled and safe driver for life.

LDC driving schools
Each one of our driving instructors operates their own franchised LDC driving school and is fully committed to giving you the best possible service. They all share a common aim - to provide the highest standards of tuition at the lowest overall cost.

Over 90% of our instructors trained from scratch using LDC's highly acclaimed driving instructor training course - so we know the quality of the people we have to offer. Whether you are choosing driving lessons for yourself or for a member of your family, it is vital that you make the right choice.

Compare LDC to the national average
Compare the LDC approach to the national average time taken to learn to drive of 52 hours of tuition and 14 months to pass the test (according to the last major Government survey). If you look at the example lessons by Bob on our YouTube channel (LDCDrivingSchool) using LDCs unique student centred approach and resources you will better appreciate why you are more likely to only need 30 hours of tuition (or indeed less) with LDC yet still become a safe driver for life. A potential saving of around £300 when learning to drive with LDC in comparison with other driving schools.

Less expensive than AA, BSM or Red
Not only will you potentially save money by learning to drive in fewer hours with LDC the lesson rates charged are up to £5 per hour less expensive than BSM, AA or Red. This is because our instructors do not have to pay such high franchise fees for the brand name - again adding a further potential saving of up to £150 or more over a full course of lessons.

The safe drivers of tomorrow are the well taught learners of today.
