If you provide your own car the costs for a franchise with Surepass could be as little as

25 Pupil franchise = £425
2 Year Contract discount = £200
Premium Franchise Discount = £100
Cash back for the first 9 months = £100

Total to pay = £25 per month

Other charges

Trainee Licence admin charge £125
Incapacity cover (Just in case you cannot fulfil your contract due to failing third exam 3 times or a serious illness causing loss of ability to drive) = £25

total amount to be paid = £175 per month = £40 per week = just over 2 driving lessons per week,

This reduces by £125 per month once the part 3 test has been passed but increases by another £100 after the 10 months cash back at £100 per month has been given

For a short term one month notice contract add to these figures £150 minus £25 incapacity = £125 per month

To qualify for the trainee licence you must have done 40 hours training, this costs £1200 for one to one training or £500 group training from one of our training basis

Ive just passed my part2 and i would like a training licence but hence the overhead costs involved i have to think twice. Can surepass not offer pdi’s an hourly rate of pay after they finish thier 40hr training.This would benefit both surepass and myself as it would be like a job no strings attached.Maybe costs could be kept to minimum by using own pdi cars? Please tell me what you think?

Its not just instructors who need relaxation techniques, I use them for pupils too. Really helps them deal with test nerves.

It would be so much better if the case study question featured an open answer for writing rather than selected from a list of answers.

What is the best way to find out nursery routes in my area? Is there a database somewhere of ideal nursery practice routes?

Thanks

Some great advice. I always say to my pupils that there will be no body next to you once you have passed your driving test to use dual controls if things go wrong. So they need to be at a safe standard before they take their test.
