Patient, confidence boosting and adaptable
I want to thank Col for his patience with myself and always ensuring that I had the best support possible to pass my driving test. If something wasn’t working or I didn’t understand, he was always quick to adapt/deliver the lesson in a different way which would work for myself.

Top Priority
Col is a patient teacher, who really makes learning to drive an enjoyable and fun experience. By explaining the ins and outs of driving, it's easy to understand why we do what we do on the road. His top priority is keeping us both safe, meaning I always felt safe whilst driving. Thanks to him, I passed first time, and feel like a confident driver.

His gauge for when you are ready for the next stages of learning and when you are ready for your test are second to none.

Great instructor
Colin is a great instructor worth every penny, explains everything clearly and lets you learn at your own pace. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor to help pass my test.

Nathan
Enjoyable Experience
Speaking of Col Marsden, it has been a pleasure to have him as an instructor and to likewise have passed my test first time under his tutelage. A genuine blessing to have come upon him after spending my money with another instructor; Col does his research about the areas he will be taking you and takes into consideration what vehicle flow and foot traffic there will be at said time of day as to ensure your lesson is well spent and accommodating your current skill level while you learn. Col has made driving an enjoyable experience, he has always been willing to answer any questions I have or accept stipulations about my lessons (I always had a “route” I preferred to do the first 5 minutes). He is willing to let me try things if I was uncertain or apprehensive about particular situations while driving or about the ability of the vehicle and always willing to review why I did or did not make certain manoeuvres etc. when I had driven independently so we could correct or establish toward my ability. He’s a good man—my honour to have been his friend during our time together and it’d be a pleasure to see him again.

Faye
Confidence
Brilliant driving instructor, I would definitely recommend Colin. He teaches at your own pace. Thank you so much for pushing me and having confidence in me.

Joyful Progress
The workbook provides a very good structure to the lesson as it gives an idea of what topic can/will be covered throughout each lesson, with specific requirements on each to determine whether you are able to do them. This allows you to structure your own lessons and have expectations when going into a lesson so that less time is needed. Colin is also a very good instructor who gives time to find your own mistakes whilst giving helpful tips and pointers where needed. He is also easy to get along with, allowing for the lessons to be a joyful experience whilst still making progress every time.

Quick turn around
The Semi Intensive Course offered by LDC has provided me with the essential driving skills I hoped to gain, just before I head off back to university. Over the past 4 weeks, Colin has been an amazing instructor in teaching me how to drive and has given me the much needed confidence when on the road. The LDC course, alongside my driving instructor and the book, has helped me pace my learning so that I was able to get used to learning how to drive way faster than I was expecting. Colin is a fantastic instructor and I highly recommend him.
