Advantages: Beginner prices

Disadvantages: Let downs and waising time travling

My lessons are with Acclaim, which franchise their drivers. I live in Leicester and 1st booked mine on the internet, I then got an e-mail saying you lesson is on Monday at 10:30.
Monday came and at 10:45 I was still stood waiting at my door, at 10:45 I rang and Acclaim said, sorry there has been a problem, can we book you in for Wednesday at 10:30?
So I thought it was sorted.
Later on that evening I got a call from the instructor him self saying, the lesson is on Thursday at 11:00. So I though, right I've spoken to the instructor him self so it should all be fine now.

Thursday He turned up at about 11:10, and I was told I've got a 1.5hr lesson, he then drove us to a quite area in Leicester, which took us about 15mins to get there, then he sat going on for a little while, then I finally went. After it all I had done: left turns, right turns, starting off, stopping, up to 2nd gear.

Then we pulled in to the kerb where he said, that's your lesson at about 12:00, so it was really a 40minuite lesson.

I only paid £15 that time, as it was my first, but now it's £20 a lesson from me as I'm a student.

Prices: £7.50 for you first 45mins
£22 per hour from then on
£20 per hour block booking and NUS

Wednesday 15th Oct.
Well my lesson is at 11:15 today, lets see if he turns up ontime, or even at all.

Summary: Good school but has a few down points
