Code of Conduct

Terms of enrolling with our school:

When you enrol for lessons, you agree to abide by our school rules.

Conduct

Students and parents and instructors must conduct themselves in a respectful manner - any agressive, overly argumentative or hostile behaviour will not be accepted.

Students are responsible for attending the lesson the prearranged time, and payment for lessons. If you are old enough to get behind a wheel, you are responsible for the lessons (not mum or dad).

Students are responsible for ensuring they have their licence with them for the lesson (photographs of learner licences are not accepted by police, and will not be accepted by this school).

Students are required to be suitably able to do the lesson; if the student is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the lesson will immediately be cancelled, and full lesson fee is forfit.

Students are also responsible for being well rested, tired drivers make mistakes.

Any mental health issues must be disclosed at the time of booking. Failure to do so may result in dangerous stiuations for both the learner and Instructor.

Any previous road traumas must be disclosed at the time of booking.

Learning to drive is a complex task, if a student is not able to follow the directions of the Instructor, then dangerous situations may arise.

 

We pride ourselves on our level of professionalism; we endeavor to always be on time - but, on occasion, circumstances may make us run late. If we are expecting to be late to your appointment by more than 5 minutes, you will receive notification - either SMS or a phone call (please have your phone handy before your lesson).

Lesson times are precious to our instructors and our students. It is important that we receive notification of any changes to your booking 48 hours before lesson time (so that we have opportunity to offer that time to others students).

Covid-19 lesson requirements

If there are restrictions or requirements for driving lessons, we will contact the student before the lesson.

Changing your booking

Rescheduling driving lessons

If you reschedule a lesson with less than 48 hours advance notice of the scheduled time, we may consider the lesson cancelled and charge 50% of the lesson fee.

If you cancel less than 24 hours notice without medical reasons (a Doctors certificate may be required), you will forfeit the full lesson fee.

If you cancel with less than 12 hours notice, you will forfeit full lesson fee.

Change of pick up or drop off address

Any changes to the pick up or drop off address must be confirmed with your instructor at least 24 hours before your lesson. Failure to do so may result in a shorter lesson to accommodate the changes.

Lateness and non-attendance (No-shows)

If you arrive late for a lesson, the Instructor will offer you the remaining lesson time ONLY if they don't have a commitment to another lesson immediately after, and you will be charged for the full lesson cost.

If you are more than 15 minutes late for a lesson without giving notification, we reserve the right to cancel the lesson and charge the full lesson cost.

If you do not attend a booked lesson (No Show) the lesson payment will be forfeit.

Lesson Payments

Lessons must be paid for before or at the time of the lesson. If payment is not made in a timely fashion, a late fee will be applied.

Log book trips will not be approved until full payment has been made.

Invoices will attract an administration fee.
