It's not just about passing tests

I realise that you want to get driving as quickly as possible and will do everything I can to help you achieve this. However, I also want to make sure that once you pass your test you are a good, safe road user, and confident to drive whenever and wherever you want.

My commitment to you

This is the basic list of guidelines that I use as my everyday working practise, and I make sure that I stick to each of these rules.

As your Instructor I will:

1Always endeavour to be on time at the agreed meeting point, and be available for the full duration of the lesson booking.

2Have the highest standards of personal conduct during the lesson & provide a courteous and considerate service, avoiding physical contact except in an emergency.

3Encourage a friendly, fun learning environment (I firmly believe if you enjoy your training you will improve much quicker).

4Design a course of practical training to match your specific needs from your first lesson through to your Practical Test, moving on to motorway training, Pass Plus and advanced courses if required.

5Honour the full 60 minutes for each lesson, and multiples thereof, covering an introduction, the practical training and your debriefing.

6Provide relevant feedback during your lesson and, at the conclusion of each, record your development in your “Driver Record”, so I can monitor your progress, and advise you when you are ready to apply for a driving test taking into account local waiting times. Please do not book a driving test without discussing it first with me.

7Recommend the very latest training methods and aids to help you study for your Theory and Hazard Perception Test.

8Provide training on a one-to-one basis with no other learner driver in the car.


9Always try to give you two working days’ (excluding weekends and Bank Holidays) notice should a lesson need to be rescheduled due to circumstances beyond my control.

10Teach to the highest standards, and submit you for the test/s when your driving is at a standard that you can keep you & other road users safe on the road.

11As your instructor I abide by the DSA voluntary code of practice.
