Chris Hallsworth - Intensive Course
I had put off learning to drive for a number of years and was apprehensive of taking lessons. I wanted to pass quickly, and with competitively priced lessons. I found LDC’s website and contacted Trevor about an intensive course. His calm, assured manner instantly put me at ease, and with the help of the LDC workbook and DVDs I soon gained the confidence to put theory into practice. Trevor had me up and running in no time. By setting clear lesson objectives, and using a range of driving situations to gain the relevant experience, he soon had me exceeding my own expectations. I am happy to say I have now passed my practical test, thanks to Trevor.
Stephen Hoare - Passed 1st time with Semi Intensive Course
Having tried a handful of lessons a year earlier and being thoroughly unmotivated by it all, I decided that at 39yrs old it was time to finally get it done. Trevor is relaxed, patient, knowledgeable and best of all positive.
Most (!) of the things I did were received with positive feedback, which is priceless when learning to drive and, if there were issues, we dealt with them straight away which turned them immediately into positives anyway.
The LDC system is straightforward, easy to manage and actually gets you into a position where the test is easier than expected. Trevor's aim is to get you to a level above and beyond the test so that the test itself is simply a stepping stone to enjoying driving.
If I'd known I could achieve a first-time pass in 2wks I would've done it years ago! Thanks Trevor'
Dr Bo Su - Passed with LDC & booked for Pass Plus
Driving to me was always like a nightmare. Having had a major car accident and unsatisfactory experience with five driving instructors before Trevor, I felt that to put me behind the wheel was like to send me to Afghanistan to fight. But Trevor was a wizard, and I kept wondering how he could keep so calm while I was driving like doing extreme sports.
The thing that really amazed me was his ability to pitch the lesson at the right level and push me into new challenges before I even realised it. How many times did he say ‘yes, you can’ in response to my ‘no, I can’t do this’? The annoying thing was that he was always right, and each time I actually achieved what he asked me to do. I must credit him who taught me this lifelong skill so well that I passed with two minor faults, and what he taught me will be remembered for the rest of my life.
Pradeep Pradhan - 1st Time Pass
Learning to drive with Trevor has been a great experience. He is very professional and talented instructor.
When I didn't understand a particular topic, either from the LDC Study Materials or in the lessons, he always came with different approach to help me understand it.
He is very patient with his students, which has helped me to improve my driving and confidence on the road. He allows you to plan the timetable to your needs and the pricing is very reasonable.
Thank you very much for all the hard work you have put on me to pass my test and to be a good driver.
I will recommend Trevor to anyone who wants to pass the test at ease and be a safe drive for life.
Rachitha M Archarige
I first got to know Trevor through my husband who was also a learner driver with LDC and Trevor.
Because of the great feedback I heard, I decided to book a few lessons with Trevor and decide for myself.
At the beginning I was very doubtful and quite anxious about driving past high vehicles following a bad previous experience which had lowered my confidence.
Trevor was understanding and approachable which helped me to gradually rebuild my confidence behind the wheel. The feedback I received during and after each lesson was a great help to concentrate on the needful points.
Trevor not only teaches you the importance of maintaining your attention on the road, but also his affable approach teaches you to relax and enjoy driving.
I found the material I received FREE of charge at the beginning of my lessons very helpful. Further, the video uploads on Youtube by LDC helped me to get an understanding of what to expect on the test date. Although, I didn't use the LDC DVDs I think I would have benefitted from videos on manoeuvres.
I recommend Trevor Maddison to any learner driver, as he teaches his students to become a safe and progressive driver for life not just for the test.
I am not an expert in driving yet, but I hope I will be with experience thanks to the excellent guidance and tips I received and learned from Trevor.
Thank again Trevor, keep up the good work.
Saujanya Gutala
Using the LDC System went from Novice to Expert.
Trevor is a friendly person. He has a lot of patience and good understanding of what a learner expects and imparts the needed driving technique in a simple way.
The LDC system and the driving course methodology gives the right perspective and real time understanding of driving experience.
I would definitely recommend Trevor, who is really a very good driving instructor. I would like to say 'BIG THANK YOU' for his support from my journey as a learner towards a successful test :).
Me Bhuvaneshwaran Chinnaswamt
1st Time Pass after 9hrs using the LD System.
I came to know about Trevor through my friend. He is a very professional Driving Instructor & has very well-structured teaching method backed up by the LDC Study materials.
He identified & understood my problems very quickly and then helped me in overcoming them.
Trevor, Thanks for your support throughout the learning process.
Although Bhuvan did have previous driving experience, it was all gained in another country & he realised that driving in the UK requires different / extra skills & knowledge to reach the stringent UK test standards.
He studied, practiced & perfected. Resulting in a 1st Time Pass - Well Done Bhuvan!
Harry Desmond
First Time Pass on the 'One Week Pass Course'
Trevor is a brilliant instructor. He obviously taught me well, as I passed first time in just a week!
I did most of my home study using the LDC Driving Skills DVD & of course Trevor's instruction. I would recommend to anyone, learn to drive with LDC and 'Pass with Trevor.
Cheryl Gill
Trevor was the best driving instructor I had (and I would know because I tried out AA, BSM and two other independent driving instructors!).
He found the perfect balance between teaching and making lessons enjoyable, which I feel is a skill many other instructors lacked! Trevor showed me that he genuinely cared for my driving and supplied me with numerous resources such as the LDC Workbook & DVD and used vision aids to assist in my learning. He was patient with me but pushed me to higher levels, which ultimately gave me the confidence in the capability of my driving. I am genuinely thankful to Trevor for helping me pass my driving test and continue to recommend him to everyone I know.
Elena Akcil
Trevor is a very professional driving instructor, with a very well-structured teaching method. He has great skills, both as a driver and as a tutor, which is extremely important when learning a skill you think is not really your second nature.
Choose Trevor and you will soon find out you have all it takes to be able to drive. He will show you what your strengths are and help you work on the weaknesses you thought would always be an obstacle in learning to drive. Trevor is very calm and methodical and will always make sure his explanations are well understood.
Thanks to Trevor I found the self-confidence and determination to turn driving into not only a useful but a pleasant experience as well.
Thank you Trevor for helping me achieve this.
Sara Robinson
1st time pass with LDC Intensive 30hr course
Trevor is a first class driving instructor and a natural teacher. He understands the psychology of the learner driver and is therefore able to really address your specific needs and tailor each lesson to the individual.
On a professional level, Trevor is calm, flexible and endlessly patient and is clear and concise in his explanations. On a personal level, he has a great sense of humour and is friendly, sincere and down to earth. I genuinely did not anticipate enjoying the LDC intensive driving course as much as I did (I did not think I would enjoy it at all, in fact), but Trevor turned a daunting prospect into a fun, positive and exciting challenge, and passing first time rapidly became an inevitability rather than an impossibility. Most importantly, Trevor allows for mistakes to be made and is never critical of those mistakes and so your confidence as a driver quickly and steadily grows which is immediately reflected in your driving ability.
I felt so lucky to have found Trevor, particularly when I heard some of the horror stories my friends have had with driving instructors and, unlike a lot of them, I now absolutely love driving. I would whole-heartedly recommend Trevor to anyone looking to learn to drive - he is relentless and will make you work extremely hard but he’s 100% behind you every step of the way and will ensure you get that all important pass!”
Usman
“Trevor is a first class instructor, possess high-class skills to help you to be a progressive driver. I loved his approach during the lessons. He always emphasised how to be a good driver, not how to pass the test, because good drivers always pass the test automatically.
The LDC system is very effective, charts and other graphical material really helped to understand the situation.”
Charles Smart
First Time Pass after 15 hours with me
A very special thanks to Trevor. I was referred to Trevor by Kudzai, who had just passed her driving test first time with Trevor after 15 hour LDC Test Booster course. She told me how great and experienced he was and I took him on.
I was over the moon when I passed my driving test first time after a 3 day 15 hour LDC Test Booster course. The guy (Trevor) knows his stuff; he is patient and definitely has an ability to make learners understand in an easy way. His wacky sense of humour helped a lot, plus his great teaching skills. He does not just teach you to pass but to be a good and safe driver.
'I know you don’t like 'white van man' ;-)... [TM: The words I used were: "always underestimate 'White Van Man' "] ... but mine is maroon, plus I do take great care, lol. Thanks once again for putting me back on it”.
I highly recommend Trevor to anyone who’s serious about driving; don't waste time with time-wasters, as Trevor won't waste any.”
John Hayes
I had been looking for a flexible solution to learning to drive and having contacted several companies offering intensive courses and receiving no response, a fresh search brought me to the LDC website. I searched for my local instructor and discovered Trevor. I received a quick response to my initial enquiry and soon had a lesson plan put together and was on my way to learning to drive.
It had been years since I first started learning and now as an 'older' learner I really wasn't sure what to expect and was quite nervous to say the least. However, I quickly relaxed with Trevor and got back into driving a car, whilst the LDC workbook provided a solid base of understanding beforehand. I probably wasn't as good as I hoped I would be (it was over 10 years since I had last driven) but Trevor was patient and understood what I needed in order to advance.
He is very calm and precise with his instructions and knows how to challenge you to become a better driver by identifying weaknesses and providing new situations that will challenge that weakness and guide you through making the right decisions. It wasn't just about learning to pass the test; I found his teachings also taught me how to analyse situations myself and choose the right option and I'm now confident in my driving abilities all thanks to Trevor!
David Prosser
Having missed the opportunity to take my test when I was 17 I decided that I would get my license before my 30th Birthday. I decided an intensive course would be the best way for me to do this and set about researching my options. Having come across Trevor online we spoke on the phone and I knew he was the right person to help me pass. He supported me from the outset with my some very handy tips that helped me pass my theory test before we’d even met.
When it did come to the lessons, Trevor’s ability to calmly, methodically and effectively teach was fantastic and gave me both the competence and confidence to ultimately pass. It wasn’t a case of say/do. He helped me understand what I was doing wrong and helped me connect the dots to improve.
And if you’re going to spend a week of your life learning to drive a car with someone there’s no better person to do it with…
Such a relief to pass! Thank you Trevor!
Simon Parsons
1st Time Pass with LDC System
Intensive Course
I wasn’t too bothered about learning to drive until my girlfriend and I bought a nice new car. I soon got fed up with being in the passenger seat, so I decided to take the plunge. Having reached the grand old age of 41 without a license, I was quite nervous about the challenge ahead. I decided on a LDC One Week Pass course course, as this seemed like the most economical way of achieving my goal in the shortest time. Trevor took the time to explain things logically and clearly, so that I developed a sound understanding of the principles of good driving. His training gave me the skills to put them into practise on the roads.
Everyone makes a few mistakes learning to drive. For me, the sign of a really good instructor is one who helps you to remain calm when those mistakes happen. Trevor did that. He also gave me the encouragement I needed to persevere when my confidence took a dip on the day before my test. Being told I’d passed first time was an amazing feeling that I’ll probably never forget. Best of all, I now get to drive our car instead of just sitting in the passenger seat!
Trevor is an excellent instructor, both technically and in the way he deals with people. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to pass, regardless of age or previous experience.”
Kudzai Mhondoro
1st Time Pass with LDC System after Intensive 14hrs
I will surely refer you to anyone I know who wants to learn to drive. Thank you so much.
I was someone who had my provisional since 2006. All the experiences I had with other driving instructors reduced my confidence to take the test.
The instructor I had just before Trevor told me I would never make it and I should cancel my test as I need a minimum of 40 lessons.
I then met Trevor. After the first lesson he told me I could make it if I worked hard, so I thought to myself for the first time I can actually make it.
In the 2 intensive days with him I learnt so much. He was patient and reassuring. On the third day, the test day, we only did an hour before the test. I passed on my first test with only three minors, which is amazing. The examiner said I was actually a good driver. This is only because of the skills Trevor has and the hard work you are willing to put in. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about passing.
Colin McEnery - 1st Time Pass with LDC System After 14hrs
I had previously done three tests all before I was 18 with 2 other driving instructors. Picking up driving again at 22 was quite a tough thing to do more in terms of having to go through the process of re-learning and being in that environment again, especially after having only ever failed driving tests.
Having Trevor as my instructor was a revelation for me, he was able to very quickly pin point my key weaknesses in my driving skills. This enabled both of us to hone in on the specific problems which were causing me to fail my tests.
Trevor was an excellent driving instructor throughout, punctual, willing to work around your schedule as much as he good and overall very intellectual in the way he taught driving. I truly think I would not have passed if I had not have had such a high quality driving instructor as Trevor.
Without a moment’s hesitation I would recommend him to anyone I knew who was looking for a driving instructor!!!

Leanne Cork - First Time Pass with me after 20 hours.
When I first met Trevor, I was a very nervous driver. I had driving lessons before but my instructors never filled me with any confidence. Trevor put me at ease straight away and reminded me just how much fun it is to drive. We had many lessons together but I never felt under pressure to get it right 'every time' at anytime. Trevor would always talk to me about what I was doing wrong and what I should do to correct the problem. He would never ever scold me and would always be patient, no matter what. I have now passed my test with confidence, thanks to him.
Thank you so much. You have always been helpful, easy going, understandable and available.
Thank you just doesn’t seem enough for what you have done for me. Leanne
Vicky Standing - First Time Pass
Well, we had a rare old time, didn't we? :-)
I was very nervous about learning to drive, having had no experience whatsoever, so I wasn't sure what to expect from my lessons. Throughout my course, Trevor managed to put me at ease with patient tuition, a great sense of humour, and by remaining calm even in the face of occasional hair-raising moments on the road. He managed to push me just hard enough to ensure I made noticeable progress on every lesson, but without making me feel under pressure or going too fast for me.
Thanks to his hard work, I passed my test first time to general amazement from my friends and family, and hope to take the Pass Plus course later this year. I would recommend Trevor to anybody wishing to learn, and hope you enjoy your lessons as much as I did!
Thanks again, Vicky.
Rachel Jolly - First time pass with LDC After only 14hrs
I can highly recommend Trevor's teaching to both confident and nervous new drivers. It had been 19 years since my last driving lesson, and I was a little intimidated by the thought of returning to the road. Only 14 hours of tuition with Trevor, and I passed, a happy, confident new driver. Trevor has endless patience, coupled with the ability to make all his instructions calm, clear, simple and easy to remember. A calming voice and a good sense of humour also helped through some crowded moments at roundabouts and junctions. I couldn't have found a better teacher, and now plan to shred his nerves all over again in a blue sports car on motorways' in the Pass Plus course, and promise to resist at all costs the 'girlie flick' ;-)
All the best - Rachel
Rumayna Khan
Learning to drive was something I thought I could avoid for a long time as quite simply I didn't have the confidence at all to trust myself behind the wheel. That all changed after being introduced to Trevor from my brother who had just passed his test with Trevor's help. He made me feel at ease and guided me through each stage of driving at a steady pace comfortable to suit me.
The LDC learning material meant I was able to still learn about driving without being behind the wheel and also to it helped to prepare you for the lesson ahead. Despite my slightly ‘off’ days and self doubt, Trevor never put me under any pressure and was always very patient, friendly and incredibly understanding.
I am now able to get out driving on my own but will never forget the many wise words that helped me get through my driving test. Trevor was recommended to me and I recommended him to a good friend of mine within a few weeks of me starting my lessons as he was just that good!!'
Thank you for all your help and I really am going to miss the driving banter! Take care, Rumayna.
Ryan Livingstone
1st Time Pass after only 20hrs
Learning to drive with Trevor a really good experience. He made things easy to understand therefore making the learning process much easier. There were a few times when I made some bad mistakes, but Trevor re-assured me and just told me how to correct it and how to avoid the mistake in the future. All this put together with the LDC course book and DVD made the experience relatively easy and quick. Thanks, Ryan.

Learning to drive with Trevor was a great experience and was also good fun. He was ever patient and a calming influence. Even when things went a little wrong he was calm and collected and very reassuring. Thanks to Trevor I passed first time and look forward to working with Trevor again with my Pass Plus course. Just as well really as I have now driven several thousand miles in only a couple of months. That freedom is truly down to Trevor. Thanks for all your help.
Cheers

Michael Parkin
1st Time Pass after Semi-Intensive Course
When I first decided to do a semi-intensive driving course, I was unsure of what to expect. But by the end of the first lesson I knew that Trevor was definitely the best person to make this a success. Roughly 4 weeks later I was sat in the seat of the car with a pass certificate in my hand. Over these 4 weeks Trevor had taught me to drive in a way that I felt confident and relaxed when behind the wheel of a 'big metal box with wheels'. Above all, I had a very enjoyable time and gained valuable experience learning with Trevor and I will be recommending him to many friends.
Thanks again.
Michael.
Jack West
First time Pass & Excelled with Pass Plus
Trevor was a brilliant instructor who always made me feel at ease in the car and allowed me to excel rapidly through the lessons. His explanations and guidance helped me greatly in understanding how to become a safe driver and the confidence this gave me allowed me to pass my test first time!
After completing my test i was also delighted to work with Trevor again for my Pass Plus certificate which helped lower my insurance and helped me with more advanced driving.
So thank you Trevor in making me a fully qualified driver ready to tackle anything on the roads!
Raja Sawar
Thanks for going that little more than other driving instructors. Due to my own busy work timetable, you made yourself available at very short notice.
Patient, professional and delivering a driving package which best suited my style of learning. The LDC Test Booster course you taught enabled me to pass my test in 15 lessons and now I am driving safely and with confidence.
I strongly recommend Trevor’s LDC driving school as he tailors a driving course according to your specific needs and style of learning. Not only will you pass your test in a short period of time, you will become a competent and safe driver.
Lara Broggini
Hi Trevor, I hope you’re well and still getting students safely through the streets of Ashford!
Anyway as promised here is a big thank you email for helping me pass my test, first time with LDC!...
Trevor, Thank you so, so much for your brilliant instruction during my crash course with the LDC methods! I really enjoyed learning how to drive with you and had every confidence in your advice! Thank you for being positive and calm throughout and being a true professional as it kept me calm and focused throughout the week!
I am so excited to have passed and feel like I have a thorough knowledge of the rules of the road all thanks to you!
Thanks again
Katerina Varentsova
Hi Trevor, Just a quick note to say Thank You very much. I passed my test in my own car today!
You are an amazing teacher!
And all the tricky roads, corners and junctions you showed me in preparation for my test were actually on my test route.
I drove on the motorway today & it was ok. I would like to book some time with you for training on the motorway though.
Thanks again
Swati Aggarwal
Dear Trevor,
If you are looking to take your driving test and searching for a driving instructor then you have reached the right place. Trevor Maddison is just the perfect driving instructor. I have just passed my driving exam and give full credit to him.
One thing I like the most about him, is the way he used to identify my driving faults and analyse and explain them to me so well. Moreover he was always so patient, when I used to do them again. Thanks a lot Trevor. You are the best.
Regards and best wishes
Swati

I found Trevor's details on-line, and to be honest I am very glad I did.
Trevor was very helpful, considerate, calm, and very patient; he taught me a lot and is a very good teacher. On top of that.......he had a nice and decent car!
On a serious note, I managed to pass my test with Trevor's help in only 15 lessons, he gave me the confidence to go for it, and with his help I succeeded.
I would highly recommend him to anyone whom is learning or looking to learn to drive, I have already passed his details to family and close friends that are looking to learn.
Good Luck Trevor.....all the best, and good luck to all the future students!
Li-Teck Lau
Dear Trevor,
Thanks again for your help learning to drive. I had good fun, even if the test wasn't totally successful! Anyway, apologies for not getting round to doing this earlier, but I am very happy to write a testimonial.
I did a one week intensive course with Trevor having done very little driving before, and would have passed if not for a silly mistake of my own! He explained things clearly, was patient, punctual and very friendly. You couldn't ask for more from an instructor.
Best regards
Rosana Masowa
Thanx to u too i am now 1 of the safest drivers out there.
If i ever have a friend who is looking for an instructor you will definitely hear from me.
And yes i have heard of that song, Moloko is my african name actually, it means togetherness in my country, thanx a lot for everything.
