24. Customer care and complaints

24.1. Speaking to your instructor. In the event of any problem arising with the driving tuition, you should speak to your instructor as they provide driving tuition to you under a separate contract. We recommend that you don’t take any further lessons with that instructor until the matter is resolved.

24.2. If you want to change instructor. If you would like to change to a different instructor, then you can do this via our Website/App or by contacting us.

24.3. How to tell us about problems with the Website/App Services. If you have any questions or complaints about the Website/App Services, please contact our Pupil Service Team via our Live Chat.

24.4. Our complaints department. If our Pupil Service Team isn’t able to resolve your complaint, you can contact our Complaints department by email or by post using the addresses below. We may require evidence of any financial transactions and lesson times before we’re able to investigate. You should therefore keep Record details accurate and up to date.
