Naomi Paterson I recently passed my test after completing driving lessons with Bruce. He was an excellent instructor and helped me to have more confidence with my driving, and broke things down well so that I could understand not only what I was doing but also why. He was incredibly patient and positive, and genuinely cared about my progress and success. I could not recommend Bruce more.
Chloe Weir Ist time pass- Automatic I just passed my driving test 1st time because how amazing of an instructor Bruce is, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to pass without him, he has been incredibly patient and helpful even though after my first lesson I never wanted to drive a car again but he made driving one of my favourite things to do so I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone who is learning to drive
Peter Rafferty Bruce is the Ideal teacher. He is professional and manages to bring the best out of me. He encourages and praises when it is deserved and tells you when things aren't quite right. He has a good sense of humour and is always approachable. You can always contact him if you have any questions. I would recommend Bruce to anyone who wants to be an ADI. I certainly wouldn't have qualified without his expertise.
John Hi folks, my name is John, my trip to becoming a driving instructor wasn't as easy as I had first thought it would be… I found the part one work hard going and struggled to keep focus on the work however, Bruce was there with help and encouragement. This gave me the push I needed to pass my part one and two tests, which I flew through. After that we started part three training. When the part three test came around, my nerves got the better of me and I, unfortunately, failed my first attempt at the part three test. This was a hard blow however, Bruce helped me get back into it and I went for my second attempt. I thought I had it in the bag, however, again, it wasn't to be and I failed because I had over instructed.
As I had been so confident that I had passed, I found it very difficult to pick myself up and continue. I had a break from training and a rest at Christmas. A new year a new start… it was difficult to keep positive. My finally attempt at part three. All or nothing. Bruce gave me the training and positive support I needed to pass and finally become a qualified ADI!
Bruce is a great teacher and a all round good egg! Many thanks for your help, support and time Bruce, you truly have gone above and beyond!
Tom Morrison I trained with Bruce to become a trainer of Instructors and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get into the driver training industry. His easy going manner and sense of humour, coupled with his vast experience in training instructors helped make every training session as much fun as it was a learning experience. Having already qualified as an instructor, I was well aware of the work required of me to get through my training, but Bruce was able to make things seem so much more simpler than they appeared to be at first. Bruce would highlight any weakness I had. discuss with me why it happened and how I could have done it more effectively, then guide me through practice to help me improve. As each session passed I found myself increasing in ability, understanding and more importantly, confidence. There were times when I would feel out of my depth but these were quickly quashed by Bruce's timely motivational discussions, that always brought a smile to my face and resulting in me raising my game. I passed both ORDIT exams easily, thanks to Bruce's training and I am now very confident that I will go on to become a trainer that he can be proud of.
If you are reading this and considering Bruce as your trainer then give him a call, you've nothing to lose.
Susan MacFadyen (West Kilbride) Once I made the decision that I wished to train as a driving instructor, I under took the huge job of finding an appropriate training company. I looked at numerous companies; however for me "Learner Driving Centres" (LDC) stood out from the crowd. I was not to be disappointed.
The training I received from my local tutor, Bruce McNeill was first class. He is very through in his job; no little detail is left to chance. I passed part 2 on my first attempt and part 3 on my second attempt, although in hind sight I had all the skills to pass part 3 first time.
Bruce's help & expertise hasn't stop on qualification, he is now just a phone call away, always willing to help no matter how small or large the query I have.
If you wish to train with the best then you won't go wrong with Bruce McNeill & LDC.
Steven Porter I was forwarded onto Bruce by a friend who had previously trained with him. He convinced me I would be able to pass the tests to become an A.D.I. I managed to find the balance right in February 2008 and passed after 11 months of training, 8 of which was with Bruce.
I found Bruce a very pleasant, easy going and very knowledgable guy. My training with him was always light hearted and enjoyable, but at the same time, it was always testing and made you think about different ways to word and time your talk throughs.
Over two years later and running my own school, I can safely say anytime I need advice or a friendly ear to talk too, Bruce is always there with the right advice. Comes very highly recommended from me, not only as a trainer but also as a friend.
Iain Stephenson - LDC Instructor Bruce's relaxed training style combines very well with the demands of the PDI training course.
Although there was a lot to learn and practice Bruce was always encouraging and I feel that I benefited from his guidance in every session. Bruce has no problems finding different ways to explain or describe the topics so he always gets his "Light Bulb moment".
This ability comes from the experience that he has picked up over many years at the top of his game.
The LDC PDI training course was very thorough and prepared me well for all parts of the ADI qualifying process. (Well above the standard that was required.)
Now I have qualified, and am using the LD System daily, I can see and feel the benefit of the hours spent training in the car.
I look forward to a fun filled career working along side Bruce and the other LDC instructors in the years to come.
