What to Watch For When Choosing Driving Lessons in Goodmayes
Not all driving schools are the same. Before you book with a national franchise or an independent, here is what East London learners tell us they wish they had known.
Instructor churn — franchise instructors pay high weekly fees, so they take on huge student numbers. That can mean less 1-to-1 attention and lessons that feel rushed.
Long waiting lists — popular franchises often have weeks of backlog before your first lesson.
Trainee PDIs — some franchise lessons are with trainee instructors still building their hours, not fully qualified ADIs.
Hidden fees — franchise overheads can creep into lesson pricing, with costs that are not clear upfront.
