1) Each driving instructor's vehicle will be in a clean and roadworthy condition, be comprehensively insured, and have dual controls fitted. The vehicle will also carry the AMC Driver Training system mark, unless otherwise agreed.
2) All driving instructors who work under the AMC Driver Training system are fully qualified Approved Driving Instructors who are registered with the Driver and Vehicle Testing Agency. All our driving instructors will be friendly and courteous, and will adopt this code of conduct, as laid down by the driver training industry. If you're driving instructor is likely to be late by more then 15 minutes, we will telephone you to give you our estimated time of arrival, but your driving instructor will make every
effort to be with you on time.
3) If your instructor feels that you are not ready for your driving test, AMC Driver Training and your instructor reserve the right to refuse from taking you for your driving test, and in that case, you will have to make your own arrangements. To avoid this, please take on board the advice given to you by your driving instructor, as he/she has had extensive training to help you pass.
4) Pre-booking of your driving test is strongly advised against. If done, it is at your risk and expense should you not reach the test standard. Instead, seek a late cancellation by contacting the booking office once your instructor deems you ready for the test.
5) Each student will be treated with respect and consideration and in doing so; no instructor shall raise their voice, shout, or ridicule you. The instructors will at all times behave in a professional manner towards you, and shall not smoke whilst giving tuition.
6) In the unlikely event that a training course is to be cancelled, it must be mentioned that once a training course has been started with AMC Driver Training, if any block booking / driving course is cancelled by a pupil, lessons that have already been taken will be charged at the normal hourly rate of £20 per hour. The reduced rate will no longer apply. Any free lessons offered will also be void. A refund will be made accordingly. This also applies if the course is terminated by an AMC Driver Training Instructor. An administration fee of £10 will be charged for this service without exception.
7) As a legal requirement, at the beginning of your first driving lesson, and at regular intervals, the instructor will check your eyesight at a distance of 67 feet or 20.5 metres, and will also check your licence entitlements. If you need to wear glasses or contact lenses, these must be worn at all times whilst you are driving.
8) All lessons that are cancelled without giving a full 48 hours notice are charged, and that lesson fee must be paid to your instructor within 72 hours, or all future lessons booked will be cancelled, and the slots allocated to another student. Lessons are payable in advance of that driving lesson.
9) Neither the instructor nor you should have consumed alcohol within 24 hours of a driving lesson to a level, which would put you over the legal drink-drive limit. If you are on prescribed medication, please seek advice from your GP or medical professional as to whether it is safe or not for you to drive on your medication. We would also like to ask that you are well rested before taking your lesson. For example, if your lesson is in the morning, it is not advisable to go out on your lesson having just got out of your bed. Besides that it is dangerous - driving while tired, if you are not too alert, you might find it difficult to learn any new tasks etc. Your instructor has the right to refuse your lesson if this is the case - at no cost to the instructor, and you will be charged for the booked hour(s).
10) No unauthorised persons are allowed to be carried in the vehicle whilst on your driving lesson, without the prior consent of your driving instructor.
11) You are returned to the place where your lesson commenced unless you have made prior arrangements with your instructor.
12) Whatever the outcome of your driving test, the instructor shall drive you back home from the test centre.
13) AMC Driver Training cannot be held responsible for any practical driving test cancelled by the Driver & Vehicle Testing Agency. As each instructors car is kept in a clean and roadworthy condition, he/she cannot be held responsible, financially or otherwise, for any mechanical or electrical problem that may arise causing the cancellation of either a driving lesson or practical test.
14) As with any Intensive driving course, your instructor working for AMC Driver Training has the right to refuse the use of their car in the unfortunate event of you not reaching the required safety standard needed to attend a practical test. Your test fee will not be refunded by AMC Driver Training. Please be aware that 3 clear working days (excluding bank or public holidays, Saturday & Sundays and test day itself) is needed to avail of the Driver & Vehicle Testing Agency cancellation service.
15) As your instructor endeavours to keep his/her vehicle in a clean, roadworthy condition, we respectfully ask that pupils attend their lessons in suitable, comfortable clothing. Please refrain from wearing work type clothing that may be soiled, possibly due to the nature of your work. Please remember that other pupils have to get into the vehicle after you. We would appreciate your co-operation and understanding.
