Heidi's Driving School Bedale North Yorkshire

Lesson prices

As well as offering the highest possible standard of tuition, my lesson prices are amongst the most competitive in the area. As an independent instructor I have no expensive franchise fees to pay and can pass this saving on to you. Lessons can be booked between 8.30am - 7.00pm weekdays and Saturday mornings by special arrangement. I don't teach on bank holidays or Sundays.

Please note that there is a strict cancellation policy on all lessons. Any lessons cancelled (with the exception of genuine emergencies) must be given 48 hours notice or the lesson will be charged at the full price. My diary is very busy and short notice cancellations mean that I'm sitting wasting time and somebody who needs a lesson misses out unnecessarily. Students with a poor attendance record will be politely asked to find another driving instructor.

How many lessons will you need?

I can estimate how long you are likely to need after your first few lessons. The current national average provided by the DSA is 45 hours of professional tuition, combined with 22 hours of private practice, however, many of my pupils pass with fewer lessons.

Often, people think that instructors 'drag out' tuition to make more money, but there's a very easy way to know exactly when you are ready. If you can drive and complete manoeuvres competently and safely for a full lesson without any help or intervention from me, then you are ready to take your practical test.
