What is my Availability? Will I be able to get a lesson?I operate on a first come, first served basis when booking lessons with all my current and new clients. Lessons are scheduled and booked by You through an App on your Phone. (Much like UberEats or JustEat), if you book ahead of time you’ve much more chance of getting a lessons when you want it. If you plan to have a weekly lesson. We can have a weekly slot blocked out for you. I generally find that most my clients either pay weekly or in a blocks at the end of the month. It comes down to the individuals needs, time and budget. If you are flexible with your days and time you maybe able to pick up a lesson weekly, but this isn’t guaranteed, as some weeks are busier than others. Other Learners who have a certain day and time will have booked their slots weeks ahead. I’d advise you strongly to do the same if thats the case otherwise you could go weeks or months without a lesson. Lesson Times Monday - Friday

My test is within a week or my current Instructor can't take me. Can I book a lesson/Your Car for the test?Short answer No. I can happily give you a 2 hour assessment drive to see a what level your driving it currently at and recommendations. I work with people over several months and to a syllabus to make sure they're safe drivers.

How much are Lessons?DRIVING LESSONS (120 MINS) £80.00 If you use the Total Drive booking platform as well, there is a small admin fee from them to support their system, but this allows you ease of booking at your convenience and is no more than you'd pay if buying a concert ticket or ordering a takeaway delivery.

How do I know if someone is a qualified driving instructor?All DVSA-approved instructors have to display a badge in their windscreen to show that they’re qualified to teach learner drivers. ADI (Approved Driving Instructors) have passed all their tests, b een DBS checked and are on the ADI register. A PDI (Potential Driving Instructor), will have a pink triangular badge in their windscreen. This is a trainee licence only valid for 6 months, the Instructor isn't yet fully qualified and is working towards it. If a PDI doesn't pass their tests within 6 months, they can't teach you lessons anymore. Watch out for larger big schools offering cheaper lessons with PDIs. Approved Driving Instructors, by comparison, will have a green octagonal badge in their windscreen. ADIs (Approved Driving Instructor) will have more experience, knowledge and therefore will be more reliable. You can check if a driving instructor is fully qualified by entering you postcode below:

What areas do you give Lessons in?Weston Super Mare Area (Postcodes BS22, 23 & 24) If you live outside these Postcodes, I am happy to give you lessons. However, you will have to travel to meet me.
-
Do you do Intensive Courses with a Test Included?Short Answer No. Personally I recommend people to stay away from companies offering this services. You may learn to drive, but chances of being a safe driver and ready to pass a test are another thing. Resulting in you having to book more lessons with. them. They also charge an above Premium price. Learning to drive takes time, patience, commitment and investment. Everyone learns at a different rate and find different things harder. That's why an Independent Driving Instructor will work one-to-one with you, on your needs and recommend when it best to book a test.

How do I book and pay for Lessons?I use a third party company called Total Drive and their booking app. I will send you a download link before you start. Total Drive also comes with these features: Lessons dates/times of those booked Flexibility to book dates up-to 4 weeks ahead. Payment/Credit history Message chat centre Lesson gap booking Theory and practical test date log Video Resources Lesson reminders and payment reminders GDPR compliant DVSA Driving Syllabus Program. Total Drive does charge a transaction fee, but no different to a if you bought a concert ticket or ordered food. Bank Transfers are available if you wish to avoid transaction fee, but only to those with a fixed weekly slot.
