How My Services Work

I want you to know what to expect before booking.

This page explains the practical arrangements for my services, what I may need from you, and how submitted material may be handled.

If you are unsure about anything, please ask before booking.

Booking Your Training

Prices are displayed alongside each service. Any additional costs will be agreed with you before your booking is confirmed.

Sending an enquiry does not reserve a session. I will confirm the arrangements with you, including the date, duration, location and payment details.

Training is tailored to your experience and goals. Although we may agree a plan beforehand, the session may be adapted as your needs become clearer.

My aim is to help you develop your skills and understanding. No training service can guarantee a particular test or assessment result.


In Car Instructor Training

When enquiring about In Car Instructor Training, please tell me:

  • Whether you are a PDI, ADI or instructor trainer
  • What you would like help with
  • Where you are based
  • Your preferred dates
  • Any relevant test or assessment date

Before confirming the session, we will agree the meeting point, vehicle arrangements and the focus of the training.

Anyone driving must hold the appropriate licence and insurance, and the vehicle must be suitable and roadworthy.

Safety and pupil welfare always come first. An activity may be adjusted, paused or stopped where necessary.


Full Day Instructor Training

A full training day includes six hours of training.

Travel and accommodation costs are additional and will be agreed before the booking is confirmed.

Your training priorities, location and any other relevant arrangements will also be agreed before confirmation.


Virtual Recorded Lesson Review

This service involves reviewing your lesson footage and preparing a written feedback report.

The service is charged at £50 per hour of review work, with a minimum booking of two hours.

The minimum booking relates to the time spent watching, analysing and preparing your feedback. It does not mean you need to submit two hours of footage.

Recording Requirements

Please:

  • Submit no more than 45 minutes of footage
  • Make sure both the instructor and pupil are visible where possible
  • Record horizontally where appropriate
  • Make sure the audio is clear enough to hear the conversation
  • Obtain permission from everyone recorded to record the lesson and share it with me for professional review
  • Ideally include confirmation of that permission at the beginning of the recording
  • Use the secure submission method provided

Your written report will normally be supplied within three working days of receiving payment, suitable footage and confirmation of the required permissions, unless otherwise stated.

Footage will be deleted after the review unless retention has been separately agreed.

Follow-up Zoom training can be booked separately.


Live Zoom Training

We will agree the focus of your session so you can receive useful and practical guidance.

Please join on time using:

  • A suitable device
  • A working microphone
  • A reliable internet connection

Your joining link is for your booking only and must not be shared with other people.

Sessions must not be recorded unless everyone involved has agreed beforehand.

If a technical problem on my side prevents the session from taking place, I will arrange an alternative session or refund the undelivered part.


Observe a Real Driving Lesson

Observation sessions depend on lesson availability and the pupil’s agreement.

Flexible dates or alternative sessions cannot be guaranteed.

There will be a maximum of two observers in the car at any one time.

You must respect the confidentiality of the pupil, instructor and any other observers. Personal or identifying information should not be shared.

Observers must not:

  • Take photographs
  • Make audio recordings
  • Make video recordings

If you would like a recording to be made, this must be requested in advance and can only take place with the express prior consent of everyone involved.

The pupil’s learning and welfare remain the priority throughout the lesson.

If the lesson itself is cancelled for any reason, you will receive a full refund.

If you cancel your observation place while the lesson is still going ahead, the general cancellation conditions on this page will apply.


Group Training and Events

Each event listing will explain:

  • What the session covers
  • The date and duration
  • The venue or online format
  • The price and what is included
  • Any preparation or equipment required

Any event-specific booking or cancellation conditions will be shown before you purchase.

If I cancel an event, you can choose an offered alternative or receive a refund.


Fail Focus

Fail Focus explores unsuccessful Part 3 tests through a video review, helping you understand the feedback you received and consider what to work on next.

To request a Fail Focus video, please send:

  • Your examiner’s written feedback
  • Your lesson plan, including the pupil’s experience, learning needs and intended goals
  • Your account of what happened during the test
  • What you believe went wrong
  • The questions or areas you would particularly like guidance on

Availability

Fail Focus requests are subject to availability.

There is no guaranteed minimum or maximum completion time.

Publication and Consent

Fail Focus is a public educational series.

By submitting a request and confirming the publication-consent option, you agree that the resulting video and extracts may be shared publicly through the Instructor Duke social-media channels identified on the submission form.

Your name can be kept anonymous on request. However, somebody already familiar with the circumstances may still be able to recognise the case.

Please submit material lawfully and respect the privacy of everyone involved.

If you provide audio, video, photographs or other material involving another person, you must obtain the necessary consent and permission from everyone involved, including permission for sharing and any proposed publication.

My feedback may differ from your interpretation of the test.

Fail Focus is intended to support learning. It is not an official reassessment, appeal or guarantee of a future pass.


Priority WhatsApp Support

Priority WhatsApp Support is currently being developed.

Registering your interest does not create a subscription and does not commit you to making any payment.

Before you subscribe, you will receive clear information explaining:

  • The price and billing arrangements
  • Agreed support days and response times
  • What messages, voice notes and calls are included
  • Any limits on the support provided
  • How to cancel
  • What happens if I am unavailable

Recorded Lesson Reviews remain a separate service unless they are expressly included in a future package.

No subscription should be activated until the service details and pricing have been finalised.


Recorded Real Lesson Library

The Recorded Real Lesson Library is currently coming soon.

Access will be provided through an individual account for personal viewing.

By accessing the library, you agree that you will not:

  • Share your login details or access with another person
  • Download or screen-record videos without permission
  • Copy, sell or redistribute recordings
  • Use recordings in your own courses, presentations or commercial training without agreement

If misuse is suspected, access may be temporarily suspended while the matter is investigated.

Confirmed misuse may result in permanent removal of access, subject to your statutory rights.


Go Green Driving Instructor Training

I also co-own Go Green Driving Instructor Training, which provides structured training and resources for driving instructors.

If you purchase any product or service through Go Green, Go Green’s own service information and terms and conditions apply.


Cancellations, Lateness and Changes

Please book only when you are confident you can attend.

Once a slot has been confirmed, changes or transfers cannot be guaranteed.

If you cancel or do not attend, you may be charged up to the full booking price, limited to the actual loss caused by your cancellation.

Any costs saved, or money recovered by filling the cancelled slot, will be taken into account and the appropriate balance refunded.

If you arrive late, I cannot guarantee that the missed training time will be made up.

If I cancel a service, you will receive a refund for the cancelled service.

The specific refund arrangements for cancelled observation lessons are explained in the Observe a Real Driving Lesson section above.

These conditions do not affect your statutory cancellation or refund rights.
