Sorry I am a bit confused on getting a 3A license via PDI.

Why are PDIs "affiliated" with driving centres? Aren't they private?

So do I still register and pay a driving centre to do my BTT, FTT , and get my PDL?

Thanks.

Hi all,

What's the current rate per hour for PDI private driving lessons nowadays ?

 

[Vampireness]

Does anyone have the contact information of Chua Ah Huat from CDC, please let me know, thanks!

Does anyone know of an Alan Lee 948761xx from CDC as well, teaching manual?

Can someone share their experience if any, with Siew Sa Wing (Jimmy)?

 

[Vampireness]

How was your experience with him? Is he very patient? And what's his rates like? Thanks.

I'd take the time to read a few pages of the past posts or search posts, you'll get your answer if he is patient or otherwise, made up and self promoted.

This is gonna be a longgggggg post!
So anw, i finally passed my practical (class 3A) on my second attempt under Comfort Delgro Centre at Ubi! Was previously a private student under ssdc@woodlands. Had this pdi named MR Lim khim smth? He was quite nice at first and sometimes would even buy you food！However, after a few lessons, he became very angst, distracted and all. When we were at the circuit for the first time, i didnt know what to do and thus made many mistakes. He scolded me for those mistakes made when in the first place he didn't even teach! He was busy using his phone! When i asked him questions, he would go "follow your gut feeling/Agar Agar lo". Walao, if everything agar agar, still need him for what? I might as well agar all the way, then get both of us into an accident and just die la! SO MAD . He is always telling me that he is busy. I only managed to have ONE lesson per mth despite me booking lessons in advance. Sometimes, he would even cancel my lessons, telling me that he is unwell/not in town. He said that he would call back and reschedule but he never did. I have to call him to check. And guess what, he would then say that his schedule was packed for that particular month and i have to wait for another two weeks or so. This happened more than once. SO, finally i had enough and didn't bother to call him anymore. money wasted... Had to renew pdl as well

Fortunately, i later on found Mr Loh! He teaches at Ubi. He is a very organized and caring person. He writes down students's name/time of lessons neatly on his planner and he is always punctual. He has these 2-3 files that he used to keep all his docs. Eg, print outs, pictures of test routes and student's sign in sign out form. I really like the fact that he doesn't seem to have that many students as compared to other PDIs as (if i am not wrong) he doesn't teach at night. The latest slot would be like 5pm-6.40pm. So, you wont see him having too many of his students calling him in the midst of your lesson. Also, he can focus on you more and schedule you for more lessons! He starts from the basic;like how to steer steering wheel and etc. Can be a little lame la but he just wants to ensure that you know your stuff. Occasionally would chat and joke with you but most of the time he really just focus on teaching whatever is needed to learn for you to pass. Of course, there will be times he would raise his voice, but it is all understandable la. It's cute that he would even feel bad for raising his voice. He would try to break the ice by making jokes and afterwards explain to you patiently again. Oh and yes, he converses mostly in mandarin. Mr Loh genuinely cares for his students. I could see how disappointed his was when i failed on my first attempt. And i would never forget how he broke into smiles and laughter when i told him that i passed on my sec try.

He provides lessons for people with disabilities as well. This just show how compassionate a person he is. Can actually goggle his name and find out more. He appeared on some sort of news/articles i think? He is charging $60/100mins. Pick up place (eunos/ubi area) can be further discussed. I think his rate is slightly higher as compared to the rest. But for his effort and quality lessons, i think its all worth it. Sometimes, it's just really "you get what you pay". For me to travel all the way from the north to Ubi to attend his lessons simply proves how good this pdi is.

Okay enough of story! I am just so so so thankful to have Mr Loh Lian Choon as my PDi!

Hi, are you able to share his contact?

Passed my 3A TP in CDC in the first attempt.
My PDI was Mr Ivan Tan, he teached in new Mazda2 car and was flexible with weekend timing for driving lessons as I be working on weekdays.
You can get his contact on this forum or on the TP site listing PDI.
Best of luck all

Met Ivan Tan (+65 96676769), and he sent me 4 reminders in the span of two days.

Asked him for his full name and he wanted to know why, and if I was checking up on his students' pass rate. Well I indeed I was checking on his pass rate, and guess what? It is a measly 30%, and on 90 students too. (large enough sample size to quantify his teaching abilities).

Nevertheless, the car for my wife was coming soon and we decided to just #yolo, and meet him because he was the only one that could meet right on the next day.

Met him, and he walked away all because I asked if we could go for a trial class today and if all is good, to pay the $80 enrolment fee at the end of the class if we are interested in continuing with him.

He just drove off. Rude.

Don't learn with Ivan Tan. Unless you want to be the 70% of students that do not pass, or put up with his poor attitude.

Thanks.

BTT, FTT, practical test > driving centre, need to pay to open account and book

PDL > apply and pay to TP direct
