48 hours’ notice is required for cancellation or postponement of a lesson. Please do not rely on email. text. or other messaging unless you have received a reply from us. Lessons cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice must be paid for in full, as you have booked the time slot for an agreed period. if you are more than 15 minutes late for a lesson without notifying your instructor the lesson will be treated as a cancellation on the pupils part.

If, due to vehicle breakdown or other emergency, a lesson has to be postponed at short notice, an alternative lesson will be paid by mutual consent. In the case of a driving test, the instructor will be responsible for any lost test fees.
Driving tests take priority over lessons. A lesson booked may have to be rearranged if the instructor receives late notice of a test at approximately the same time.
The driving instructor will make every effort to be punctual but traffic conditions sometimes make this impossible. If a lesson needs to start 10 minutes late, it will end late accordingly.
5. Driving Tests
In the interests of road safety, the right is reserved to withdraw use of a car for test use to pupils not deemed to be at test standard. In most circumstances, use of the vehicle will be dependent upon passing a mock driving test marked to the same standards as the DVSA Practical Test.
