Learn Driving UK Reviews
Happy smiley faces of all our wonderful pupils who have passed their driving test with LDUK.
Done a couple of courses with Phil, He is an outstanding fella, great knowledge and a great way of getting the information across. Looking forward to my next visit to carryout some in car standards check training
Hi, my name is Jason Stevenson, I recently attended Train the Trainer course with Phil Hirst, so I could learn how to train potential driving instructors and grow my own driving school. I travelled quite a distance to see Phil and had this course planned for some time, I can honestly say it was absolutely worth it. As soon as you meet Phil your put at ease and begin to relax because he has a very calming manner about him. Phil also has a wealth of knowledge and works tirelessly to deliver what you need to make the trip to see him worth while.
I found the 4 day 1:1 training invaluable and now I feel I could actually deliver the type of training required to get a PDI qualified and teaching well. The course resources you receive are also superb and compliment the training perfectly. There is no doubt this course is demanding because there is a large amount of work to cover in those 4 days, so be prepared to work, but with Phil's guidance you will get through it and enjoy it at the same time. I can thoroughly recommend if you want to become an ADI trainer you should contact Phil.
Thanks Phil, I've no doubt I'll be calling upon your services again
I Arrived back home today after two of the best days training I can remember. Andy Niner and I were the first two on Phil's refresher course. I can honestly say this was one of the most enjoyable and beneficial courses I have attended in a very long time.
I guess it was partly helped by the fact that all three of us knew each other reasonably well so the 'group dynamics' were fairly well established from the start. Phil tailored the course to our requirements. we looked at the likely future of the instructor qualifying process but also how we can incorporate elements of client centred learning into the current structure.
I am doing reasonably well, having got our first franchisee started with us 2 weeks ago and with 5 others in training but it was so helpful to see Phil 'in action' and to get the benefit of his experience and knowledge. We looked at many different aspects of instructor training, both of us gaining lots of new ideas and tips. To see Phil with a PDI who was really struggling was an education it itself!
In the past I have been the recipient of too many sub-standard training courses, mainly when I was a teacher over 10 years ago. If ever the time and money spent on a cost was an investment rather than a cost then it was the last two days. Thank you so much Phil. Looking forward to putting lots of new ideas into practice this weekend with the first PDI training session!
On the first day, I arrived with mixed feelings of looking forward to learning new skills and also the fear of the unknown. Phil soon put me at ease as he explained how the course worked and what we would be doing each day. It was a two-to-one course so some of the time I would be in the back seat observing what the fellow ADI was doing.
During the five days I learnt and practiced all aspects of training someone else to be an ADI, both in theory with Phil’s excellent training materials, and in practice with role play and other exercises. It was also clear that Phil was eager to help with any other issues we might have in our own teaching methods regarding learners.
In summary, I would recommend this course to anyone thinking about becoming an ADI Trainer as you will definitely learn what you need to become one.
I will go back to Phil for further training as the new Part 3 test is brought in.
Thank you again!"
I would recommend Phil to anyone who wishes to become a driving instructor, many thanks for your patience Phil. Phil was recommended to me after my sister qualified to be a driving instructor with him. I am delighted to say this was a great decision as i passed my tests first time thanks to his expert tuition. I would recommend Phil to anyone who wishes to become a driving instructor, many thanks for your patience Phil.
This course has given me an ease of mind. Good facilities and plenty of tea. Very informative content to help ease the thought of whats involved on the standards check. Fully understood what was required. Very happy with the content.
Thanks Phil
Hi Phil,
Thanks again for this, the whole course was absolutely brilliant. I have never been on a course that has been so well structured and where every day the training was structured so well around my needs as the learner. I have been on several courses throughout the years I have been an ADI, but have never learned so much in just one week. Not only do I now have a much clearer idea of how to teach PDIs to become ADIs but I have also learnt some valuable new methods that I can put to use as an ADI in my every day job of teaching learners how to drive.
Thanks again, I will be recommending this course to anyone and everyone who wishes to progress there career along this route.
I have recently qualified as an ADI with the highest marks. My part three training was taken by Phil Hirst. I don't think I would have qualified at my first attempt if it had not been for Phil's expert tuition and knowledge. I would highly recommend anybody considering becoming an ADI to contact Phil. You will not be disappoint...ed with the amount of learning and understanding of the ADI tests you will gain over the weeks you work together.
I wanted a driving instructor that was local and that i could get along with. The cost mattered to me too. Learning to drive wasn't as scary as i thought it would be and i found lessons relaxing. Peter Andrews teaching methods were good and he makes you feel confident in what you are doing. I would highly recommend him.
I wanted a driving school that could give me the dates and times i wanted and have availability for lessons. Learn Driving UK had a really good pass rate, and i passed first time.

Buzzing finally passed, first time with 1 minor. Cheers for this week Bob Hardy recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive.
I passed my driving test in Knaresborough with Tam Gallagher. I wanted a Driving Instructor who was clear and experienced and i got that with Tam. He was friendly, yet challenges you, and has a great sense of humor. Learning to drive was hard but enjoyable. Tams teaching methods were clear, concise and effective. I would highly recommend Tam and Learn Driving UK as they have very good instructors and not expensive.
Price and availability of tuition was very important to me when i was choosing a driving school. I had read some good reviews about Matt Hardwick. The reputation of the business and value for m,money was also an important factor for me. Learning to drive was an enjoyable experience and Matt made it easy. Matt's teaching methods were very accurate and easy to learn from. I would highly recommend Learn Driving UK because of the good instructors and prices.
I enjoyed my driving lessons with Peter Andrews, he was nice. I was more nervous initially but Peter has excellent teaching methods so that helped. Peter is excellent, an incredibly wise teacher.
I passed first time in Knaresborough with Peter Andrews. I wanted a driving instructor who was well known. Learning to drive was easier than i expected it to be. Peters teaching methods were perfect and i passed at the first attempt.

I chose Learn Driving UK because of all the reviews and they were recommended to me by a friend. Tam was reliable, patient and a driven instructor.
