If you get the instructor named shoieb... ohhh dont even bother this person swears, bad attitude, make you feel terrible during lesson and always in his mobile phone. he will make you look stupid when you make a mistake as a learner its normal to make mistake! he will use your time to go to garage so he can use the toilet and loves to be late. very unproffesional! swear at the other road users.

I recently passed my test thanks to Chris at the DTC. He was professional, patient, and I couldn't have done it without him. Highly recommended!

I first encountered the DTC leith 2 years ago when I enlisted in their theory test training which was outstanding . And helped me pass my test getting all my questions right and only losing 2 points on the hazard perseption. Like I said this was 2 years ago and being the un organised lazy individual that I am , I only actually got round to starting my driving lessons a couple of months ago. Being 34 i was very nervous as they say the further past 17 you are the longer it takes you to learn.
However I was given the services of Shaiob hopefully correct spelling) by the DTC who was absolutly fantastic

I passed first time with Cheryl. She was so helpful, professional and friendly. I had tried a few driving centres years ago and felt like i was going no where but this time i was making leaps and bounds right away. I have already passed details over to a couple of friends, i couldn't recommend this school more!
