This may seem like a long rant but here's a list of all the issues I had with Lloyd's School of Motoring
1. Called up and because it was near Christmas was promised a call back and never got one
2. When I started on the first day was left in the lorry by ourselves with no instructor for an hour to go check on a module 4 (admittedly I don't blame the instructor he was only doing what he was told), this resulted in only 40 min of a 6 hour day of driving for myself. (The only saving grace was the hour was made up but when I asked the owner should that of even of happened in the first place he refused to give me an answer, because to be perfectly honest 6 hours is long enough and I don't want to stay on longer than necessary)
3. No one was able to give exact instruction on what reference points to use when reversing. We were constantly told different reference points which made it confusing and difficult to grasp.
4. Speaking of the reversing the area, it's absolutely abismol, theres no lines or anything of the sort marked out, boundaries are marked out with bits of wood and stones and the land is not level and after doing so many the area turn in to muddy mess. It should really be concreted over and marked out properly, but apparently it cost too much (not as much as the big house that the owner has on site, but I digress)
5. On the final day the owner was taking us and took 10 minutes to get himself ready to then take another 10 minutes to set up the reversing section (again wouldn't be needed if it was concreted over) and then a further 10 minutes later on to try and figure out what reference points to use, with which we went back inside to explain the situation to one of the ladies in the office to then give a cheeky response.
6. And finally Lloyd, the owner who took us out on the final day, I never loose my cool but for me to loose it twice in the space of less than 12 hours with someone is a new record for me, how he spoke to me and instructed me was an absolute joke, I will not go into exact details but if I've parted with a large sum of money I expect to be treated with some respect and I didn't feel that with him.
After loosing my cool with Lloyd the first time he said to me I was getting the "best service for my money" and I honestly said to him "balls" and after doing my rigid with someone else previously I would stick to that still the service from there is ridiculous. The only saving grace form this experience is that 2 out of the 3 instructors over that period Stevie and David were very nice guys and I enjoyed driving with them. Read Less
