  1. Each fully paid, driving lesson booked will last for a minimum of one hour at the arranged/pre-booked time.

  4. The pupil may be permitted to use the training car for their driving test only if the driving instructor is satisfied that the pupil is at the required standard, set by DVSA.
  5. If your Instructor cannot arrange for an alternative Instructor to take your driving lesson, or in the event of mechanical breakdown of the vehicle in which you have been learning to drive, or for any other reason, the Instructor reserves the right to rearrange a driving lesson to a time convenient to both you and the Instructor. If you have booked a practical driving test, and the instructor cannot get you to the test due to circumstances beyond the instructor’s control, the instructor shall not be liable for any refund or expenses incurred.

  11. All instructors are franchised and self-employed. All contracts are between the instructor and the pupil. All funds are paid directly or indirectly to the instructor. Noel Driving School administers forwarding of any prepaid funds directly to the instructor in regard to all tuition received, therefore when driving tuition is started it is the responsibility of the pupil to reconcile tuition received against funds paid with the instructor. Any transaction dispute should be raised with the instructor as Noel Driving School does not involve itself with the day-to-day business of funds paid or received or the intermediate balances. It is your responsibility to obtain a receipt(s) from your Instructor where necessary.

  14. If you wish to cancel/rearrange a lesson then two (48 hrs) clear working day’s notice is required, otherwise, you will be charged for the period of the pre-booked lesson/s. All cancellations/rearrangements must be made directly between you and your Instructor and confirmed.
  15. Noel Driving School acts as an agent for your Instructor in receiving your payments for driving tuition, other than payments made directly by you to Your Instructor. Where Noel Driving School makes bookings with, or supplies any information or documentation to you, or processes any payments for your lessons, they act as an administrative agent of your Instructor.
  16. Where Intensive courses are booked and deposits may have been received, these are non-refundable.
  17. All instructors are self-insured in regard to statutory driving school car insurance.
