PRICE AND DURATION OF LESSONS. Whilst price is an important factor you might want to ask yourself whether just going for the cheapest price is the best policy. It might not be. Remember if you pay peanuts you might get a monkey!! On the other hand you can't assume that the most expensive will be the best. It might not be. Price alone is not very reliable in predicting how good an instructor might be. At Elite we believe that our fees are reasonable and represent good value for money.
Elite's Guide to Choosing a Driving Instructor Unless you know an instructor or have been recommended one by a friend or relative, choosing a good instructor needs some care. To help you, here are a few tips you might want to think about and some questions you might want to ask.
1) AVAILABILITY. Establish that the instructor covers the area in which you live and that he is available to give lessons at times that you need (day time, evenings or weekends?). At Elite we try to be as flexible as we can for our clients. We cover the Medway area, but we do not work on Sundays. Our wives would divorce us!!!
2) EXPERIENCE Find out how long he/she has been an instructor. There is no short cut to experience. An experienced instructor will have gained considerable knowledge regarding the needs of individual clients and of local traffic conditions. Experience will enable the instructor to adapt lessons to fit with the different needs of his/her clients. Elite's instructors have combined experience of over 50 years.
3) QUALIFICATIONS In order to teach anyone to drive, for financial reward, 2 exams have to be passed and then a 3rd exam within a 6 month period. These exams are extremely difficult. At Elite we take pride in our 100% record in helping other driving instructors in passing these tough exams..
