"Excellent standard of teaching. Ryan managed to get me from no experience to passing my test first time, with just one fault, in just over a month. Would recommend him to anybody"

"Had a great experience with Ryan over a 5 day period. A very knowledgeable driving instructor that kept me focused and on my toes at all times! Just what i needed to pass my test first time round :D. I would recommend Ryan to those that want to really focus on getting the test nailed in a short amount of time as he does well with progressive teaching. Thank you Ryan, all the best buddy"

We will only provide this information to either the relevant bodies with whom we engage with whilst acting on your behalf or if there is a legal obligation to do so. An example of this might be if, in the unlikely event, you were involved in a collision and we had to provide your details to third party insurers. If you require us to provide information to a further party that falls out of the scope of our usual work practices, we will ask you for further consent to do so.

We will contact you if we need to obtain any additional information such as to check that our records are correct and customer satisfaction surveys that we do from time to time.

How long we keep it

We will generally keep your personal data for a minimum of 6 years after which time it will be destroyed if it is no longer required for the lawful purpose for which it was obtained.

Payments

You can pay for driving lessons in advance by cash or bank transfer or you can pay for the lesson directly to the instructor on the day of training in cash.

If you require a receipt for any transactions this will be sent out via email.

Cancellation and refunds

You must give at least 48 hours notice to cancel or re-arrange a lesson to ensure that the instructor has time to fill the slot. For intensive course cancellations a clear 14 days notice will need to be given. If these terms of cancellation are not met then the instructor holds the right to charge for the lesson. Any deposit that has been paid for a course will be lost if these terms are not met.

Termination of lessons

You must present your valid UK driving licence to your instructor at the start of your first lesson. Failure to do so could result in termination of the lesson and the lesson still being charged for.
