If you're new to the world of learning to drive, you might be wondering about whether to choose an independent driving instructor or a driving school in Liverpool.
But what exactly is a driving school, and how do they differ from intensive driving courses? Is it best to learn with a local instructor instead? PassMeFast are pros when it comes to learning to drive, and we have the answers to all your questions.
A driving school is a business that employs driving instructors. Anyone can buy lessons through the driving school, and they'll be assigned a driving instructor who will teach the course.
Not every driving instructor is part of a driving school. In fact, most instructors work for themselves. This means they can set their own hourly rate and decide when they work.
It's also worth nothing that a lot of independent driving instructors incorrently brand themselves as a 'driving school', but they're actually a self-employed driving instructor working alone.
Every driving school is different so they might not all work the same. Generally, if you book a course with a driving school, they'll assign your course to a driving instructor who works for them.
For somebody learning to drive with a driving school, it's actually not very different to doing it with an independent instructor. You'll still get your driving lessons and your instructor will take you to your test.
The difference is that you'll probably benefit from the support of the driving school's customer service team if you have any issues. It's rare that things go wrong, but it can be useful to have somebody other than your driving instructor to go to.
On the flip side, you might not have the same flexibility you'd have with an independent instructor. Since instructors at a driving school will usually have set hours to work, evening or weekend lessons might not be possible, and it could be difficult to reschedule a missed lesson.
Learning to drive with a driving school doesn't mean you won't be able to do an intensive driving course. In fact, some driving schools specialise in intensive courses and prefer to offer them over the traditional weekly lessons.
Make sure to do your research and find out exactly what the driving school can offer. Do your schedules work together? How long will the course take? How often will the lessons be?
If you have specific needs like evening and weekend lessons, or your schedule often changes, you might struggle with driving schools. A lot of learner drivers find themselves having to work around the driving school, rather than the other way around.
If that's something you want to avoid, you could try to find a self-employed instructor instead. They'll most likely be more flexible and will be able to offer you what you need.
But most people are busy and don't have time to spend ages finding an instructor who can offer them the kind of intensive driving course they need. That's where PassMeFast comes in.
