Alastair is an amazing driving instructor! He's very patient, kind and enthusiastic. He is very good with teaching drivers with little experience and every week encouraged me try something a little different. Being a nervous driver he was very easy to learn with and we always had a good laugh.

I cannot recommend Alastair enough; he has transformed driving for me. Having started off learning with a different instructor and having had some bad experiences, he managed to not only repair my relationship with driving, but make it so much fun. Alastair is so genuine and enjoyable to work with… I owe him many thanks for getting me through my test… thank you! :)

Pierre from Cromarty
Passed 1st time in Inverness with 5 minors
After switching instructors to Alastair, not only did my driving drastically improve but so did my confidence. Various past experiences left me highly anxious when it came to driving, but after each lesson the anxieties seemed to dissipate. When I made errors or mistakes, never once did he pass on guilt or shame; instead we talked over what happened and how to correct it, reassured me and then went back to reattempt it again. I was able to pass first time, and that was thanks to Alastair! I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Alastair, for everything.

Ruby from Fortrose

Passed 1st time with only 5 minors in Inverness
Alastair is a very patient driving instructor. I looked forward to every lesson which made learning to drive a lot easier. In the weeks closer to my test Alastair made sure I would pass by giving me a 4 hour lesson per week with a break in the middle. I rarely felt stressed or scared while driving as Alastair created a calm atmosphere in the car and I felt it was very easy to ask questions. At the end of every lesson we reflected on my driving which I felt was very helpful for improvement.

It was really good and I especially liked having two hour lessons because it meant I could practice stuff loads of times which meant I didn't forget it over the week.

Passed 1st time in Alness with just 3 minors
Driving was Alastair was a nice experience. His lessons really helped me become a better and safer driver, hence why I passed my test. Alastair is also very nice and easy to get a long with. He does keep you right though and insures you dont make mistakes and if you do he tells you exactly what you did wrong and how to improve it. If I could rate my experience with him it would definitely be 10/10. Thanks so much for everything and best wishes for the future.

As someone who has put off getting lessons for years, Alastair helped me gain confidence weekly due to his guidance and calm demeanour.

Ciara from Cromarty
Passed in Inverness with just 3 minors
Alastair was an absolutely amazing driving instructor. As someone who suffers from anxiety and had put off learning to drive for the best part of a decade because of this, I couldn't have been happier to have found Alastair as an instructor. He took on board my concerns and made sure he not only remained calm himself but kept me calm too. Learning to drive was a hurdle I was not sure I would manage but with Alastair's calm and caring nature I went into my test knowing that I was confident and able. I am incredibly grateful to Alastair for his guidance and support and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Rebecca from Arpafeelie

Great pass for Bronwen from Upper Raddery

I was initially really nervous about learning to drive, but Alastair’s patience and positivity made me feel safe at all times and much more confident in my own driving ability. I particularly liked the fact that Alastair’s lessons are quite flexible, as he gives you the option to work on specific skills that you feel you need to improve on. Thank you so much!

Holly from Inverness
Passed with just 4 minors, a lovely drive.
When I first started my driving lessons with Alistair I have never sat in the driving seat of a car before. I’m so thankful for his patience throughout the process and for pushing me out of my comfort zone. Alistair is a great teacher and helped me to overcome all my driving related fears. I’m so happy to have passed my test to get driving.

Niamh my lovely daughter passed 1st time
Passed 1st time in Inverness with just 4 minors
Extremely happy I’ve now passed my driving test first time! My learning experience was very positive and I feel I have learned extra knowledge on how to be safe on the road and how to deal with certain situations. I also feel the techniques I learned from my dad teaching me how to drive  have made me a more confident driver. I would recommend to anyone who wants to start driving who is anxious (as I was extremely) you will feel calmed down straight away and will 100% pass! thanks for the pass!😁

Great job Nya from Fortrose

Today I passed my driving test and I couldn’t have achieved it without Alastair.

After taking a 2 year break from lessons, I was anxious about starting up again and wanted to ensure I found the right instructor for me. I decided to book in with Alastair after reading his experience and testimonials. I was so happy with the progress, within 3 lessons with him he put me at ease and I had my confidence back and within 6 months I have passed my test!

Alastair is very patient, understanding and flexible around my working pattern. It was an absolute pleasure having him as my driving instructor and I can’t thank him enough for the support in achieving a new freedom in life!

Couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Alastair from Avoch
1st time pass with only 2 minors
Alastair s patience and calmness is the key to his success as a driving instructor. Any time I made a mistake, he would remain calm and helpful, getting me to think through what I had done so that I knew for the next time. His sense of humour and kindness was very reassuring during my lessons, and I felt that I knew him well by the time I passed my test. Learning to drive with Alastair was a joy. I couldn't recommend him more highly

Will from Inverness
Passed with 5 minors in Inverness
Alastair was a fantastic driving instructor. He stayed calm and collected all the time and installed a great level of consistency in my driving.

Andrew from Fortrose
Passing 1st time with just 4 minors in Inverness
I was very nervous with driving when I started off, I could barely drive down a small country road without being in a cold sweat, however after consistent lessons and improvement I found my confidence building and my driving improving. Driving is one of the most useful skills a person can have and I am so glad that I learned before I left for Uni. Alastair was the best instructor for me as I can panic in situations however he was able to keep calm and work through difficult situations with me. A massive thanks! I love driving 😄

Molly from Drumderfit
Passed in Alness with just 6 minors
Alastair has been an amazing instructor and is such a lovely guy. After having 2 previous instructors who made me nervous he really helped to calm me down and build my confidence when I didn't think I d ever be able to drive confidently. He is extremely patient and helps you to fix silly mistakes while being really encouraging! Couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Would definitely recommend! Thank you so much Alastair.

Robert from Rosemarkie in Inverness
1st time pass
Alastair is a great driving instructor who will not just get you through your driving test but will also teach you good habits that will keep you safe in the future. He was very calm and patient with me and I felt comfortable the whole time. He really knows his stuff when it comes to the driving test, we went through many a mock test that were actual routes in use. When it came to the week before my test Alastair really made an effort to fit me in as many lessons as possible and I really appreciate that.
Thanks for being such a great instructor Alastair

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. He put me at ease completely which allowed me to concentrate and drive to my full potential. Having failed with another instructor previously, my confidence was completely knocked. Alastair helped me build this up again and I couldn't recommend him enough! Thank you! 🚘

Alice from Wyndhill
Passing in Inverness with only 4 minors
Learning to drive with Alastair really helped my nerves and confidence. Having the chats at the end of each lesson helped me focus on the areas I needed to improve.

Bryn from Cromarty
Passed in Alness with just 4 minors
Alastair is positive, firm and easy to get on with as a driving instructor. Even when I failed he was very encouraging and gave me the confidence I needed to try again. Not only  did he make sense, he made driving less stressful and tense as I thought it would be, he helped me recognise and correct my errors which was critical to passing my test.

Thanks Alastair

Sarah from Stornoway

Margaret from Fortrose
Passed her test in Alness
After years of giving up and believing I would never be a capable driver, lacking in confidence, full of nerves, I found Alastair. A truly fantastic instructor, finding a way to teach me to drive that helped me relax and understand and also helping me to believe in myself. Alastair has a very friendly, calm, patient manner and I know that without his continued support I would not have succeeded. I recommend Alastair a 5 star driving instructor.
THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊

Meryn from Barra
Passed 1st time in Inverness
Being someone who has difficulty with learning practical tasks, I was very apprehensive about learning to drive. Then I received a gift block of lessons with Alastair and how lucky I was! Alastair is the perfect instructor for anyone, he adapts to your learning style and no matter how nervous you are about driving he keeps you motivated with a positive attitude and never leaves you feeling like you re bad at driving. I managed to pass 1st time with Alastair and I have put it down to his calm and encouraging character, and would recommend him to everyone of all experience levels, thanks so much Alastair!

Jill in Inverness
A fully deserved pass with just 5 minors after an "emotional roller coaster"
So true! Thank you Alastair, your patience and support was nothing short of amazing. Definitely the hardest journey for me so far, and your counselling skills got me there. Thank you and folks if you need an instructor, he's your guy - patience of a saint!

Amazing driving instructor, extremely patient and encouraging. He creates a friendly environment for learning. Alastair knows to make you feel at ease and helps you to build your confidence.

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

Alastair was a fantastic instructor to learn with. I started as a very nervous driver but he made me feel relaxed and calm. I would definitely recommend, thanks for everything!

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

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

Alastair is such an amazing instructor.....Not only was he focused on teaching me how to drive ( I was an absolute beginner) he also helped me to overcome two of my biggest fears, driving and tests. He was very patient and taught me all the great tips and skills I could have wished to be ready for my practical test. I could not thank him enough for all his help and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who s planning on learning to drive.

Andrew Chlad from Stornoway
I was happy with LDC. But I was really happy with my instructor Alastair. He was my instructor for only a short time but he was a really nice relaxed person. Alastair was really supportive and always gave gentle feedback. And explaining things to detail. Highly recommended. 5 stars.

Alastair was a great driving instructor, very helpful and encouraged me a lot when I was doubting myself. He kept telling me I could do it. Best driving instructor I have been with.

I found Alastair an exceptional instructor, he was always calm and polite. I got the feeling he really wanted me to pass. I never had one lesson finished early and always got what was paid for. I would recommend Alastair to anyone

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

Jamie MacGregor from Munlochy

From the first lesson I asked how long it would be until I sat my test and the reply was simply "we will see how you get on". Well with Alastair using LDC system I learnt pretty quickly and now here I am having passed my test 1st time, thanks Alastair

Peta Koczy from Kirkhill

I really enjoyed learning to drive with Alastair from LDC. He was totally supportive and relaxed. I returned to driving lacking confidence after failing my last test. Alastair gave me the confidence to feel I could drive safely and pass my test.

Alastair is a fantastic instructor, he is calm, patient and ensures you are condident with all aspects of the driving test. The LDC workbook was an added bonus and was great for home revision and fine tuning many aspects of driving

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

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

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. He is a credit to LDC. Alastair was always punctual and made the lessons enjoyable and stress free. The progress was swift and I was able to pass in 5 months while becoming a safe and sensible driver

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

Alex

Rogan

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."
