Terms and conditions of tuition

You are required to be in possession of a current valid provisional driving licence. It is your responsibility to inform your instructor of any official changes to that document.

You will be required to pay in full for any lesson or test appointments that you cancel with less than 48 hours notice. This must be done by calling the instructor directly.

We reserve the right to refuse the use of the instructors or schools car for practical tests if the instructor feels that you have not reached a satisfactory standard.

The minimum cost of the car for a practical test is £50, this includes pick up from home, 1 hour lesson before, 15 minutes preparation time, time on test, debrief and the drive home. This does not include the D.S.A practical test fee.

It is not the responsibility of the school/instructor to remind or tell you when your theory/practical tests are, or to check that all your documents are in order for these tests.

Credit will not be accepted under any circumstances.

Whilst every care is taken to ensure that pupils receive tuition at the scheduled time and in the car booked, all appointments are made on the understanding that the school accepts no responsibility for the postponement of lessons and practical tests due to mechanical breakdowns/instructor illness or any other reason. If the pupil cannot be accommodated in another car, a fresh appointment will be made as early as possible. Neither are we responsible for driving test appointments postponed by the D.S.A.

If you change your pick up or your drop off point without 24 hours notice it may not be possible to give you a full hour’s lesson (full hour to be charged).

If you are late for a lesson, the lesson will still finish at the arranged time. Missed time cannot be reallocated, nor can the lesson price be reduced.

You must ensure that you are not under the influence of alcohol or drug while attending a lesson, “remember the night before”. Please check labelling on all prescription/non-prescription drugs with regards to driving.

On the occasional lesson there may be another Avanti instructor or D.S.A official observing your instructor. This is done for quality and assessment purposes.
