In such circumstances you will be required to pay for this lesson.

Cancellations

  • A minimum of 48 hours’ notice is required for a lesson cancellation.
  • If a lesson is cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice the full lesson price may become payable.
  • The full lesson price must also be payed if you fail to attend a previously booked lesson.
  • If a lesson is cancelled by your instructor, the instructor will rearrange a replacement lesson that suits both parties and may offer some compensation.
  • In the event that your Driving Instructor is late due to unforeseen circumstances:
    Where possible the instructor will add the delayed time on to the end of the current lesson.
    If this is not possible then the delayed time will be added onto a future lesson, with the Students agreement.

During Lessons

  • The instructor will pick the Student up for their lesson at an agreed location and time. If the pupil doesn’t show at this location after 15 minutes the lesson will be cancelled and charged for unless the instructor has been prior informed of the delay.
  • The use of mobile phones during lessons is prohibited and will be turned onto silent mode for the duration of the lesson to avoid unnecessary distractions. Your Driving Instructor also agrees not to use their phone whilst teaching, unless an urgent call is required or a call has been agreed at the beginning of the lesson. This rule also applies to the use of hands-free devices by both parties.
  • Our instructors will only teach on a one-to-one basis unless the pupil has asked to have someone accompany them and the instructor is in agreement. In this instance the extra person must be seated in the back of the car and their presence must not be a detriment to the lesson.
