Some things to consider when choosing your Driving School
1. RECOMMENDATIONS
By far the best method is a personal recommendation from a friend or relative who can give first hand experience.
Recommendations supply us with approx 80% of our work. This is something that we are very proud of. We like to think that all our students are happy with the service and tuition that they receive and without their referrals we simply could not survive.
2. TUITION QUALITY/LATEST METHODS
A proportion of our work is from students that have decided to change from their present school for to a variety of reasons e.g. "my instructor sometimes talks on the phone during a lesson instead of looking after me" - "I receive little or no feedback to enable me to improve" - "he/she is often late or cancels" - “we only drive for about half the time of the lesson” - "he/she talks a lot about themselves than about my driving"
These are some of the reasons that are given to us when talking to new students.
Does this sound familiar?
Here at The L Factory we offer a realistic lesson fee that enables us to attract the very best instructors in the area. We also invest in continued professional training to keep us at the top of our profession.
3. BEWARE OF GIMMICKS/CHEAP OFFERS
There are many ways that driving schools will attract new students. The most common way is by offering ‘cheap’ lesson prices which on the face of it sound too good to be true - they probable are! Some will offer free lessons and all sorts of other gimmicks to entice you. Ask yourself one question “Why are the doing this?”
You now have the task of sifting through all these offers, but remember that very few things in life are free and you generally get what you pay for.
4. IN CONCLUSION
As mentioned previously your choice is a daunting one and your final decision could be a very expensive mistake if you get it wrong. It could also lead to you giving up learning to drive.
5. We Come Highly Recommended
Whatever your choice, we hope it is the correct one and would like to wish you a positive learning experience along with safe driving for life.
Best wishes,
Karen Smith, Owner of The L Factory
