REFUND POLICY

These calculations are based on how driving instructors earn a living, selling their time, when entered in a contract to provide 10 hours for each new pupil, instructors have to plan their working week to sell enough hours to earn a living, lost hours is a direct loss of their income in planning how many students can be taken on, new students may be turned away because they are expecting to have 20 students at 10 hours at any one time which earns them a living, any student not fulfilling those 10 hours will deprive them of an income.

15. Any pre-pay deal must be completed within 3 months of payment but can be extended if requested and agreed by the school, otherwise no refunds will be made after this period. No refunds will also be made if any prepaid deal have started already.
