🚙 Over the weekend we attended the annual National Conference for Driving Instructors (I promise it wasn’t boring!)

🎉 We bumped into Paul, Gemma and Sarah, the family who own and run our franchise, LDC Learner Driving Centre - driving schools

🗣️We attended multiple talks about how to manage our business, support our students that have ADHD and deliver even better driving lessons.

💡We also had time to network, meet others in the industry and visit business stands to learn more about what there is to support us and our students.

🚜 Driving in the countryside can present its own challenges so it’s important to remain vigilant.

🐎 As well as wildlife suddenly appearing to dash across the road, it’s very common to come across people riding horses.

🚙 It’s vital you slow right down, keep back and pass wide and slow. Spooking a horse can have catastrophic consequences for all involved. Please be patient.

INTENSIVE DRIVING COURSES
Say goodbye to never ending hourly weekly lessons and say hello to an LDC intensive driving course - the faster, smarter way to learn to drive.

According to the DVSA's (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency's) last major national survey of people learning to drive they purchased on average 52 hours of professional tuition each and in addition took a further 19 hours of practice on average with family members or friends. Therefore in the UK people learning to drive take on average 71 hours of tuition. With an LDC intensive driving course using my coaching skills and the unique LD System this figure is more likely to be closer to 30 hours rather than the national average of 52 hours. This potentially represents a big saving.

I provide a range of intensive driving courses varying from 6 to 40 hours. If you have a driving test booked and need to learn to drive fast, choose a course to best suit your needs. Each one of the intensive driving courses shown includes:
- access to my LDC online students learning hub (see below),
- the LDC driving skills workbook and DVD/Online videos
- Theory and driving lesson apps

If you have a test date I can plan a schedule of intensive driving lessons to lead up to it. To book a course you can call the LDC office on freephone 0800 400 777 (https://www.learnerdriving.com/driving-courses/) or if you would like to know more visit my website https://www.drivewithandy.co.uk/courses or call/text me on 07522 239660 your local LDC trainee instructor.
