Individual lessons and Discounted block booking

Learning to drive, using the LD System, can be spread over several weeks and lessons can be booked individually or in a block at a discount.

Lessons are usually 75 minutes long (including 15 minutes pickup time). Therefore, you would receive a full hour of in-car tuition on each lesson. Unlike in the courses described earlier the LD driving skills videos and workbook are not included in the lesson price, but can be purchased separately. As an alternative to buying the driving skills videos you can rent them, for a nominal fee, directly from your local LDC instructor.

1 Hour driving lesson - £21.00

Each driving lesson is 60 minutes long. Please note if you live in an area where you're local LDC instructor needs to travel a long distance he or she may require you to book a 2 hour lesson. Please contact the instructor direct for more details.

The LD System DVD and workbook can be purchased or loaned separately.

2 Hours driving lesson - £41.00 (save £1.00 )

Booking a 2 hour lesson will save you money and speed up your progress. Two hour lessons cost less and are far more productive because of the continuous unbroken time behind the wheel.

The LD System DVD and workbook can be purchased or loaned separately.

Block booking of 10 hourly driving lessons paid for in advance - £200.00

Depending on the distance to travel each lesson will be 1 hour or 2 hours. Please contact the instructor direct for more details.

How many hours will it take?

According to the latest Government survey people learning to drive in the UK buy on average 52 hours of professional driving lessons. From this you will appreciate it can easily cost you over a £1,000 to learn to drive and take up to a year to pass the practical driving test. With LDC's revolutionary LD System of driving tuition the average number of hours to pass the test is closer to 30 hours - a potential saving of up to 22 hours from the norm or about £450. This is why it is important to select the right driving school and training approach.

Weekly lessons versus intensive courses?

Taking just one driving lesson per week will help to spread out the training cost but you will end up paying far more in the long run and take several months to pass your test. This is because the first half of the next lesson is often wasted getting to where you were at the end of the previous one - thus it is like taking two steps forward and one step back. Also if you are taking weekly lessons without any clear targets to achieve or set test date to aim for the training losses any urgency and lessons tend to drift off course reducing it effectiveness even further. This is why intensive and semi-intensive courses are now proving far more popular. However, to do such courses successfully the training needs to be carefully structured and expertly delivered so that no time in the car is wasted - hence the development of the revolutionary LD System of driving tuition.

The LD System isn't only useful for intensive training it enables weekly lessons to be conducted in much the same way with clear targets to aim for thus saving time and speeding up progress. The LD System DVD video and workbook also helps to overcome the "two steps forward one step back" problem of weekly lessons by allowing you to revise your last lesson while preparing for the next. This is particularly true if the materials are also properly used by a family member or friend to provide complementary practice in between lessons with your driving instructor.
