To take lessons you must hold a valid UK driving licence (provisional or full) that entitles you to drive the relevant class of vehicle. You must produce or provide proof of licence before or on your first lesson.
You must be medically fit to drive (including meeting eyesight requirements). If you wear glasses/contact lenses to meet eyesight requirements, you must wear them during every lesson.

3.2 Booking, Payment & Fees

Lesson bookings must be made in advance, and payment should be made as agreed before the time of booking. In the case of block bookings, fees may be collected upfront and lessons deducted as used.
The School reserves the right to refuse, cancel or reschedule lessons (for example, if licence proof is not provided, or due to instructor unavailability).
Any special offers, discounts or package deals are subject to the terms communicated at the time of purchase. The School reserves the right to remove or amend offers at any time (but will honour confirmed bookings).

You must behave responsibly, safely and follow instructions during lessons. You must not drive under influence of alcohol, drugs (incl. certain over-the-counter or prescription meds that impair ability), or when unfit to drive.
Wear suitable clothing and footwear that allows safe operation of vehicle controls.
Inform the School / Instructor promptly of any medical conditions, disabilities or changes to licence status (endorsements, bans, restrictions) that might affect ability to learn.

4. Cancellation, Rescheduling & Refunds

If you wish to cancel or reschedule a booked lesson, you must give us 48 hours notice. If notice is not provided within this period, full charge may apply.
If lessons are booked in blocks or advance packages and you cancel before using them, unused lessons may be refunded or credited at our discretion — subject to any offer/discount conditions.
The School reserves the right to cancel or reschedule lessons at anytime (for example due to instructor unavailability); in such case you will be offered an alternative or a refund for cancelled lessons.
