As we hopefully begin a return to normal and with the resumption of driving lessons there are some precautions required during lessons to help ensure the safety of student and instructor.

• As precaution the tuition car will be disinfected with Steri-7 vehicle sanitiser.

• Hand sanitiser containing 70% alcohol will be provided for use at the beginning of each lesson.

• The student should wash their hands just before attending the lesson

• The instructor will wear a mask during the lesson.

• The student should come equipped with their own mask, however a disposable mask will be supplied if required.

• Any student who may be experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or who has been in close contact with someone with symptoms should not attend their lesson until sure they are clear of the symptoms.
