  1. No estimate or assessment of training time required to reach Car/B+E/C/CE/C1/C1E/D1/D1E/D/DE test standard may be considered to be in any way a guarantee that a Driver will pass the test at the end of the suggested training time.

  6. In the event that a Driver is unsuitable to attempt a DVSA test due to road safety concerns, Advanced Driving Academy Limited reserves the right to cancel the DVSA test. In such an event, the Customer will be refunded only the DVSA test charge, and if this is unrecoverable from the DVSA, this fee will be forfeit Advanced Driving Academy Limited cannot accept liability for any loss caused by such a cancellation.

Any training time added to a training session or course following adverse weather or factors out with Advanced Driving Academy Limited’s control will be charged to the Customer at the normal rate. Any actions or events which prevent driving tests from being undertaken are attributable to the DVSA; customers are advised to refer to the DVSA’s website in such matters.
