Passing with Bernie was great! I did the 30 hour intensive course and enjoyed every minute of it. Bernie was a great instructor with lots of Patience. He even took care of booking the test. I thoroughly recommend his course to anyone serious about passing their driving test.

I was a student of Bernie's LDC Driving School for 4 months. Starting with no driving experience to passing first time on the 10th of January, I can only blame Bernie for my success! I would certainly recommend Bernie to anyone else as I am confident that it is down to his unique teaching style which enables his students to do so well.

I found Bernie a great teacher. He took me at a steady pace which meant I never felt rushed into doing too much but each lesson he took me out of my comfort zone enough to allow me to build on what I had already learnt and improve. Also he is very calm and clear in giving instructions and so I always felt I knew what to do in each situation even if it seemed confusing at first sight. These clear instructions also meant that the manoeuvres I had to learn for the test were also very easy to do.
As well as his ability as an instructor he was always on time for my lessons and I felt we made the most of every lesson I had so I would recommend Bernie to anyone as I found him a fantastic teacher and he enabled me to pass first time.

Bernie is brilliant at teaching, he never tells to you "do this or do that", Bernie ask you to "do this or that" and explains why and lets you know all the the pros and cons so you fully understand what it is you are being taught.
Bernie's patience is brilliant too, he moves you along at your own pace, and finding things you can link with your driving to help you understand the car manoeuvres, or the task you are carrying out, for example hobbies or general interests.
Bernie's guidance to being a better driver, not just passing the test, is exceptional. I would recommend Bernie to anyone, he is very friendly, and put me at ease as soon as I got in the car to when I got out. He helped me pass first time and I will defiantly continue to do the Pass Plus scheme with him. He will defiantly go out his way to help and make you succeed. Thanks Bernie!

Bernie was a brilliant instructor. He was very patient, he listened to any concerns I had and made me feel very confident after every lesson. He was always on time and made the most of every lesson. There was never any time wasting. The pricing for lessons is very reasonable; you also get a handbook which is very helpful during your lessons. I would definitely recommend Bernie to family and friends. Thank you for all your help.

I have been trying to pass my practical driving test for the past four years. As I couldn’t pass my practical test in two years, I had to re take my theory test second time. It was now that with only a few months left on my theory that I needed to pass my practical that I met Bernie.
I tried different driving instructors from various driving schools, but some how I couldn’t get through. Then someone recommended Bernie McFarlane, and now I can say, I am lucky to find him. It was because of his precious guidance I could pass my test & now I have my permanent driving licence.
I am now realising, that it is also important to have good instructor, who will teach you each & every thing, won’t keep back any info to prevent you passing the test. I learnt so many new driving skills with Bernie which I had never learnt before with other instructors. The guidance book which he gave me was also very informative & tells you about all driving skills you need to know, I would say it’s a driving Bible & Bernie made me understand it & helped me to apply it practically.
As a Person, I would say, Bernie is very calm, patient & highly flexible person & most important thing is, he is very honest, will never charge you any more.
I think, was bit unlucky not to find him earlier. From my experience I would say, it’s very important to find a good driving instructor to pass your practical driving test when the government is making it tougher & tougher.
I will definitely recommend Bernie to my family & friends. I am very grateful to him and I can’t describe in words how important my driving licence is to get ahead one step ahead in your career & day today life.

Bernie was a brilliant driving instructor! From my first lesson through to my test, he kept me calm, focused and made learning to drive an enjoyable experience. He has a natural understanding and ability to get the best out of his learners! I know this as i passed first time!! Dont hesitate - book him!

Bernie's patience as an instructor is the point that sticks out the most and how he coached me step by step to become a better driver from all the little details.
When I asked a question I was unsure on in driving, I always received a detailed answer on how the best way to perform the manoeuvre and made sure I understood it before moving on.
Even if I made a mistake, he helped me improve my driving to learn from it, which has made me the driver I am now. Thanks Bernie.

I would like to thank you Bernie for all your help and support throughout my time as a pupil of yours, you have been very supportive throughout and have also been a very friendly face each weekend and made learning to drive fun and worth while with the allocated time we had. i would also like to mention that thanks to your dedication and skill as a teacher/driving instructor i managed to pass my practical test first time with only one minor, i feel this was due to your way of teaching and also your dedication to your pupils and the trust you put in them and making me feel very comfortable, relaxed and generally putting me in a good learning mood.
Thank you very much for being there to help i would highly recommend you to anybody wishing to learn to drive.
Thanks again Bernie
It has been a pleasure learning with you

Although I had previous driving instructors prior to LDC and Bernie, the difference in style and delivery was clearly superior to that I have previously received. Bernie explained and ensured I understood why certain things were expected of me.
Safety, smoothness and patience is Bernie's motto, it certainly helped as I achieved zero minor points when I recently passed my test.

Bernie McFarlane was my driving instructor from July 2010 to January 2011. I found Bernie to be extremely friendly, supportive and trust worthy. My confidence in driving grew with Bernie’s direction and he always remained calm and positive.He was extremely reliable, never letting me down with lessons and vey helpful with arranging my driving test. Now as a newly qualified driver I have a high level of confidence due to Bernie.I would genuinely recommend Bernie to anyone considering learning to drive.
