Ruth Fantastic pass for Ruth in Inverness after working so hard. Super result. Having previously had many driving lessons with other instructors and having found the process incredibly stressful and nerve wracking I started lessons with Alistair. From the very beginning Alistair was incredibly patient, supportive and understanding of my needs. I was terrified of driving but over a series of lessons Alistair helped me work through those fears at my own pace taught me how to drive a car (not just how to pass the test). There is no way I would have passed without his help and I would recommend him to anyone, especially for those nervous drivers!! Thank you Alistair!! |
Lewis from Avoch Passed 1st time with in Inverness with only 5 minors My experience of learning to drive with Alastair Field was an enjoyable and incredibly fulfilling experience. Learning to drive can be overwhelming and a bit confusing at times, so learning to drive correctly and safely is vital. A lot of it comes down to the instructor and the way they teach you. From the word go Alastair made me feel at ease. Alastair took me from being heavy footed and sketchy to be being a well rounded confident driver. Alastair accommodates how you drive and how you want to be taught, from going through it in the information book beforehand to just getting out on the road and getting experience. If you’re looking for a driving instructor, I would highly recommend Alastair Field |
Beth from North Kessock Passed with only 2 minors in Inverness receiving this lovely comment from the examiner "I haven't felt so comfortable during a test" Learning to drive with Alastair really helped my confidence as a nervous driver.

Katie from Munlochy Passed 1st time in Alness I started lessons with Alastair after switching from a different instructor who I had been with for months. This is the best decision I made. Alastair s calm and relaxed demeanour along with how he used teaching methods that suited me helped me feel more confident and less anxious behind the wheel. After a few short months with Alastair I sat my test for the first time and passed!! I don't think I would have passed so soon if I didn't switch to Alastair, he is an amazing instructor and I would recommend him to anyone |

Jennifer Andrews from Inverness After years of starting lessons and giving up, going through numerous instructors I finally found Alastair. He was fantastic, striving to find the best teaching methods to suit my needs. I was a very nervous driver and Alastair helped me overcome these nerves and become the 'driver in charge ". Alastair is patient and calm and I really believe I could not have done it without his help and support. I can not wait to get on the road and finally take my little girl to the beach and have many road trips. Thank you Alastair you are a true gem xxxx |
Michelle Wilson from Invergordon Passed 1st time pass at Alness test centre After 15 yrs using public transport I decided it was time to learn to drive. I was looking for either an intensive or semi-intensive course as I knew I would become bored doing only a couple of lessons a week. I was lucky to find Alastair, who became my instructor. Within 4 weeks of starting my lessons I passed my test 1st time. I am sure this would not have happened if I didn t have Alastair as my instructor. Thank you for being patient and a calming influence |
Mairi Skinner from North Kessock Passed 1st time in Inverness Alastair is a fantastic driving instructor who was always patient,friendly and encouraging which I really appreciated as a nervous driver. the lessons were made more effective by him matching his teaching to my learning style and the great resources on the LDC eebsite which I could read before lessons. Alastair is an incredible instructor who always went the extra mile and I would definitely recommend him. Thanks again Mairi |

Abby MacGregor from Munlochy Superb 1st time pass at Inverness. My driving experience with Alastair was very enjoyable. He was calm and very encouraging. I found the LDC method of learning very practical as the step up between lessons was challenging but manageable to push my driving that little bit further each time. Thanks a lot Alastair |
SJ from Rosemarkie Passed with 5 minors in Inverness Learning to drive with Alastair was a great experience. His teaching is effective because I was challenged to figure out how to do and fix things by myself rather than just following instructions which definitely helps your quality of driving. Very encouraging and would definitely recommend. Thanks again |

Catherine Mackay Passed at Inverness Thank you Alastair for teaching me to drive. I was fortunate to have you as my teacher. I booked a course with LDC as I felt that their method of teaching was suitable for a nervous, anxious, low confident 50 year old. I chose well, knowing after the 1st lesson with you as my tutor there was no reason I could not pass my test. You were always punctual, courteous, professional and very patient. You allowed me to gain confidence, despite often " flying by the seat of my pants". You encouraged, supported me tbrough all my lessons, which I came to enjoy. I can strongly recommend you and the LDC style of coaching for anyone wanting to pass their test. You are a fantastic driving instructor. The method of learning suited me, and you were always approachable with my questions as to why and how. I will not forget my " tyre thread query". Thanks again Alastair you have given me my freedom and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincere thanks and all best wishes, Catherine |
Willie Hailstones 1st time pass at Alness test centre We (meaning my wife) decided at 55 years of age, after being a passenger for so long, it was time for me to learn to drive. People associate learners with young people so imagine how it feels for the oldies! I decided, after research, on the LDC system as it offered a structured route with visual and written aids. I got lucky with Alastair as my instructor. His undoubted enthusiasm and constant patience meant the whole lesson was a learning experience. I can honestly say that this was the main reason I passed in such a short space of time. I wasn t an occasional driver until Easter Saturday and hadn t driven for over 20 years. True testament to Alastair s technique. First Class. |
Donald Morrison from Ness, Isle of Lewis Passed at Alness test centre I started the 1 week LDC Driving course with some trepidation as I'm an island boy driving on the mainland. However I needn't have worried, with Alastair as my instructor, I was in excellent hands. He moulded me into a driver capable of passing my test and driving safely afterward. This is especially true in terms of my awareness and, most of all, the dreaded roundabouts. |
TJ Gibson Passed at Inverness Alastair was good to go with as he explains everything well using the LDC System. He helped through the whole process of me passing from theory to my test. I highly recommend going with him as he helped me pass first time |
Josh Passed at Inverness with 3 minors I would highly recommend Alastair to any learner driver, his calm and assured tutoring was priceless and it really improved my confidence on the road.

Cameron Passed at Inverness Alastair s endless patience, support and huge experience helped turn this stubborn pupil into a 1st time pass on less than 40hrs! Thanks for everything. I couldn't have got a better start to driving. |
Calum Skinner My name is Calum Skinner age 19. I started to drive with Alastair back in early Oct with very little experience passing my test on Jan 26th in Inverness. He was a great instructor,relaxed,confident and helpful. He was supportive through the whole process including the theory part of the test. I would highly recommend him. Thanks Alastair |
Allan from Nairn 1st Time Pass With every lesson I did with Alastair I saw an improvement in my driving skills and knowledge of the road. I found his training technique very positive and calm when it s needed. I would highly recommend Alastair for people in need of driving lessons. The 41 hours I did were great value for money |

Rogan Passed on 1st attempt I found the LDC driver training with Alastair very enjoyable, feeling confident and relaxed after a short number of lessons. He provided a good learning environment. |
Testimonial from a pleased dad who'd sent his son for some intensive driving lessons in Inverness while at college here prior to his test booked over in Kyle of Lochalsh with his regular instructor but needed town experience and ironing out a few things in preparation for his test. "Hi Alastair. I just wanted to let you know that Daniel passed his driving test this afternoon and I put it down to the 4 nights of lessons so thank you very much for that. One very satisfied customer. Kenny." |
