It is recommended that you DO NOT ENTER THE CAR UNTIL ASKED as the instructor might be cleaning the car after the previous lesson. Briefings might be given outside. Some instructors might take your temperature using a non-invasive (external) temperature device. Please be aware some instructors might have hidden reasons to be more cautious than others such as age or medical conditions that might put them in a higher risk bracket.  \nTogether we can all beat this virus and 1st 4 Driving and our instructors are working to provide you with safe driving lessons during this time.  \nCOVID-19 UPDATE: Currently we ask any pupils who are experiencing any of the possible COVID- 19 symptoms to not take their driving lesson but to inform their driving instructor immediately or call the driving school on 0300 22 33 123. No cancellation charges will be made even if this is on the day of the lesson. This exceptional clause is to protect you and your driving instructor and to prevent the possible spread of the virus.  \nLicence – You must be in possession of as valid provisional licence before lessons begin, and this must be shown to your instructor before your lesson begins. If an old-style paper type licence is shown, a valid passport or other photo ID will be required.  \nLicence Checks – Since the removal of the old-style paper-counterpart to the driving licence, the only way for us to validate your driving licence is to carry out an online check. After booking you will be asked for your driving licence number and to produce a check code from the government website.  \nPayments – must be made prior to or at the commencement of the lesson unless pre-paid block booking credit exists. Failure to do this may result in the termination of the lesson. This includes test fee payments.

You must ensure you keep a record with your driving instructor of lessons taken. Your instructor will carry record cards for this.  \nCOVID-19 UPDATE: Where possible, to avoid the use of cash handling it is advisable to pay for lessons upfront and by electronic means.

Payments made to office will be paid to instructor after the lesson has been completed and held on your behalf.  \nCancellations – You must either directly inform your instructor or contact the office for any cancellations.
