DRIVING SCHOOLS

The Learner Driving Centre (LDC) is a family run

business set up in 1987 and now operates a

nationwide network of over 500 LDC driving

schools.

Paul McArdle, is the Founder and Managing Director

of the Company pictured here on the left with other

daughter Gemma receiving the prestigious award for

Training School of the Year from Gareth Llewellyn the

CEO of the DVSA at the Driving Instructor

Associations (DIA) annual conference.

ABOUT LDC

WE QUALIFIED ... SO CAN YOU

AWARDED TRAINING SCHOOL OF THE YEAR

If you enjoy driving and would like to help people

develop new skills this could be the ideal job for you.

To do this job, you need to

Ÿ be patient,

Ÿ have good people skills,

Ÿ truly enjoy helping other people to achieve their learning goals and

Ÿ take pride in your own driving.

*This example is based upon delivering 35 hours of instruction per week at a

lesson rate of £30 per hour (please note lesson rates vary by area and from

one LDC driving school to another).

Become a driving instructor with the Learner

Driving Centre (LDC) and earn up to £40,000 per

annum after meeting all business and car

expenses*.

So if you are looking for a rewarding, well paid part-

time or full-time job in your area, this could be the

ideal career for you.

While pay is very important, the biggest reward comes

from knowing that what you are doing is more than

just a job - you are doing something which helps

enrich people’s lives and adds to their safety and

security. The smile from a learner who has just passed

their test provides the ultimate in job satisfaction.

HOW YOU EARN MONEY

PROVEN PUPIL DEMAND

We provide you with the means to earn money directly

from your pupils and you in turn pay us. This method

of operating is often referred to as a job franchise.

Virtually all driving instructors are self-employed either

working totally on their own or operating a franchise

with a larger driving school (e.g. LDC, AA, BSM and

Red). Less than 1% of driving instructors are actually

employed in the traditional sense. When you are

franchised the driving school will help you to run your

business and generate customers.

“My business got off to a ying start with pupil bookings ooding in.”

www.ipassedwithalan.co.uk

In the last 24 months we have experienced a surge

in enquiries from people wanting to learn to drive

with one of our specially trained, expert driving

instructors using LDC's revolutionary LD System.

As a result we are looking to recruit and train more

driving instructors to satisfy the increasing demand. In

a recent poll 95% of LDC driving schools reported they

are currently operating a long waiting list (in some

areas as long as 3 months).

Due to these long waiting times we are currently

turning away pupil sales worth tens of thousands of

pounds each month. Work which could be going to

you if you were a qualied driving instructor working

with LDC.

Don’t take our word for how busy our instructors

are ... ask them!

The LD System is based on over 30 years of

perfecting the process of learning to drive. It is

designed to empower the student (i.e. the learner

driver) and put them rmly at the centre of the

learning process. It is the rst ‘Client Centred’

learning system of its kind.

It enables the learner to decide what, where, when

and how they might go about this process under your

watchful eye and guidance. This is achieved by

supplying the learner with a workbook and

accompanying DVD video programme (and access to

the online Hub version of the LD System) with

encouragement and support from you.

THE MODERN WAY TO GENERATE NEW PUPILS

LDC have developed a more modern approach to

generating new pupils.

Most other driving schools still rely solely upon a

conventional call centre/central website operation to

deal with enquiries from new pupils. This is not the

only way young people nd what they are looking for!

By embracing new technologies, particularly where

young adults are concerned, we are able to provide a

constant supply of new pupils for our LDC driving

school owners. For example our YouTube channel

(The Learner Driving Centre) alone has over 100,000

signed up subscribers and has received over 30

million views. Each video played links back to a list of

LDC driving schools in their area. Visit our YouTube

channel and see for yourself.

Our own online activity along with your personal

activity (e.g your website, Business Facebook page

etc.), set up and maintained by us on your behalf,

generates over 90% of enquiries from people wanting

to learn to drive with “YOU”.

LDC also provide a highly effective traditional call

centre. However, we believe more and more pupils

want to see who their actual driving instructor will be

with the option to contact them direct if they so wish.

LDC are the only national driving school to actively

promote YOU and decentralise the marketing in this

way.

“The main thing that attracted me to LDC was the personalisation of the driving school. The discounts for outright purchase of new vehicles are also very helpful and the option for instructors to source their own cars is another big differentiation.”

YOUR CAR OPTIONS

www.trainingwithsteve.co.uk

With LDC you have a wide choice of vehicle that

you can use for your LDC driving school.

Use your own car (if suitable), rent or buy a car. With

LDC you can purchase a new car at signicant

discounts (up to 28%), therefore, you can be assured

of keeping your car costs to a minimum. Indeed, the

saving you could make by purchasing a new car

through LDC alone could easily cover the weekly

franchise fees for the whole year.

Most learners prefer to learn to drive in one of the

smaller popular cars as they consider these easier to

drive. This is the reason why most successful driving

schools choose to use these cars. They are also far

less expensive to run and can signicantly increase

your income. However, larger cars and other makes

can also be used.

USE YOUR OWN CAR AND EARN EVEN MORE

YOUR FRANCHISE - PAY LESS, EARN MORE, BE APPRECIATED

We believe we offer the best value for money

franchise on the market at only £50 per week

(including VAT). This gure includes the supply of 50

LDC Driving Skills Workbook per year for you to on-

sell each worth £14.95 as well as a host of other

useful resources and services.

Based on delivering 35 hourly lessons on average per

week with 4 weeks holiday per year, renting a car for

£80 per week and assuming a typical driving instructor

insurance cost of around £520 per year (about £10 per

week) your earnings would be £39,768 per annum. If

you use your own car rather than renting a fully

maintained car your earnings would potentially be a

£1,000 higher per year than those shown above or

below.

To legally operate as a driving instructor in the UK you

are required to pass the Driver and Vehicle Standards

Agency (DVSA) Approved Driving Instructor (ADI)

qualifying examination which is split into three parts.

ORDIT

QUALIFICATION NEEDED TO BECOME A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR

OFFICIALREGISTER OF

DRIVING INSTRUCTOR

TRAINING

ORDIT

The Ofcial Register of Driving

Instructor Training (ORDIT) was

set up by the Driver and Vehicle

Standards Agency (DVSA) with

the support of the major trade

associations:

Once you have passed Part 2 and have completed

your initial Part 3 training you are allowed to work as a

trainee driving instructor provided you are sponsored

by a driving school that supports the Government’s

Trainee Licence scheme, such as LDC. This potentially

gives you up to 6 months real on-the-job training to

help you pass the Part 3 Test.

The introduction of the new Part 3 Test has made it

even more important that you have access to a

Trainee Licence from a reputable driving school.

ORDIT was set up to protect the public from

substandard training and rogue business practices.

Currently in the UK over 70% of those who pay for

and start driving instructor training courses never go

on to qualify. Whereas over 89% who complete all

their training with LDC do!

Any organisation wishing to be on ORDIT is required

to have their training facilities, methods, resources and

trainers successfully inspected by the DVSA every two

years. Organisations or trainers not on ORDIT should

be avoided no matter how cheap or credible they

appear. Just because an organisation may subcontract

the in-car instructor training to one or two ORDIT

registered trainers doesn’t mean you are protected

under the ORDIT scheme - you need to buy your

training from an ORDIT approved organisation such as

LDC.

Not all ORDIT organisations can provide training

nationally. LDC have 55 ORDIT qualied trainers

who provide training from most test centres where

the ADI Part 3 qualifying exam is carried out.

“I like being my own boss, this career works around my family life and I am operating a very successful LDC driving school. I have taken my career to the next step and I am now a fully ORDIT qualied trainer. I can not thank LDC enough for all the training and support they provide me.”

The practical training is delivered to you on a 1-to-1

Unless requested the training is not shared.

LDC don’t follow a one-size ts all shared production

line approach to ADI training. With LDC each ADI

student follows their own personal development plan.

In this way we can virtually assure exam success with

pass rates far exceeding the norm for Parts 1, 2 and

3. The percentage of students who went on to pass

Parts 1, 2 and 3 having completed all their training
