1, In accordance with the Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) Code of Practice, I would like to confirm the following:
- My fee is £40.00 per hour and each lesson is two hours long.
- The test period is set and charged depending on the location of the test centre.
- If you wish to pay in advance, there are block discounts that can be applied on the first booking:- 10 hours – £370; 20 hours – £720; 40 hours – £1400.
- Monthly payment plans can be considered. Please speak to me further in how that can be achieved (please note, monthly payment plans only carry a discount rate of £37 per hour up to 6 weeks).
- Intensive training are 4hrly or more long and can be arranged/charged based on the circumstance.
- All pay in car lessons must strictly be paid for in advance, either in cash or bank transfer.
- The practical driving test booking fee is a separate charge directly payable to the DVSA (currently set at £62.00), and depending on the test centre we charge £120 on the day of the driving test which include 1hr driving before test and use of instructor's car for driving test.
- Cancellation of lesson policy – Lessons will be charged unless at least 48 hours notice is given.
- If a refund is requested from yourself, all unspent funds will be transferred back to the account from which the payment was originated within 10 working days (the final refund will take in consideration of the provisions of paragraphs 1.3. 1.5 and 1.8).
2, Before the first lesson, I will need the following
- I will need you to generate a code so I can use to check licence details online.
- The information you will need is the driving licence number, national insurance number and postcode.
- Go to https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence where you will be asked to enter the details as described in paragraph 2.2
- You will see a link that says “share licence information”. Click on that link and this creates a code.
- Email me back the code together with the driving licence number. The code is case sensitive, can only be used once, and is only valid for 21 days.
3, Getting this done early and before the first lesson saves a lot of time as we can spend more time concentrating on the lessons.
4, For the first lesson:
- Please ensure the licence is brought along for me to do a visual check. The licence must be present for each lesson.
- If there is a need to wear spectacles or contact lens, please ensure they are also brought along, as I will give a quick eyesight check before getting in the car.
- Please ensure suitable footwear is worn (e.g. no sandals, flip flops, sliders or high heels).
