Instructor Support Update – 11th September

New guidelines from the Government
The Government has announced new national and local restrictions introduced to limit the spread of coronavirus.

We have received direct confirmation from the DVSA that the new restrictions do not affect driving lesson or test services, which have already restarted. This means you can continue to provide driving lessons as normal.

As ever, we will keep the situation under review and let you know if anything changes.

As a reminder, here are a few links previously sent:

– Post-Lockdown Instructor Lesson Guide (Internal only)
