Hi, first of all THANK YOU for considering Driving With Ellis for your driver training, I genuinely appreciate it. You’ve been asked to look at this page as it contains information about something that we call our First Lesson In Advance policy.

 

So what is it exactly?

​

Well, imagine turning up for work on your first day and being told that you’re not getting paid !!!

​

Would you like it?

​

Believe it or not, there are quite a few sad and quite pathetic people out there who take great pleasure in setting up hoax lessons. I've beencaught out quite a few times, so now I ask that ALL new starters pay for their FIRST lesson in advance online via our website booking system.

​

All of your other lessons can be paid for on the same day.

​

This system works extremely well and keeps the business running efficiently and enables us to be able to keep spaces and places for people like you, who are dead serious about being taught by the officially voted for Best Driving Instructor Nominee in the region.

​

We ask that payment is made not less than 48 hours before the lesson is scheduled to take place.

 

You can do this by discussing payment options with your instructor.

​

You should be aware that if payment is not received within specified time it will be automatically cancelled and you will NOT receive reminders.

​

Unfortunately, if, after payment, you cancel the lesson within 48 hours of its scheduled time, you will be charged the lesson fee as a cancellation.

​

When you are picked up for your first lesson you should also bring your licence.

If you’re happy with this, then please message us back and we will set the wheels on motion to get you started.

​

(Driving With Ellis and other Driving Schools, share information amongst ourselves regarding time wasters and frequent cancellers, we believe that this roots out the problem people and leaves slots for students who are committed and serious about their learning, training and development, time wasters will often find that I, and other driving schools will not take them on, because their details will have been shared.)

PLEASE READ OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS, 

THEY’RE IMPORTANT, AND THEY ARE THERE FOR BOTH YOUR, AND OUR, PROTECTION.
