Lesson Fees Rise

Thanks to the Chancelor

Fuel prices and inflation mean that from the 1st October 2007 we will be increasing our fees by a small amount. This increase is in line with inflation but still means we are one of the best value schools in the Borders. Remember cheapest is rarely best.

Lessons will go up to:

Single Lesson £22
Block of 10 Lessons £210
Pass Plus Course £160

Remember, we charge you the same lesson fee from day one untill you pass your test. So if you have a lesson before 1st October 2007 you will always pay the old lesson fee which is currently £21.

Vacancy for a Driving Instructor

We are expanding once again and need more instructors

We have seen a period of sustained growth over the last year and now have more pupils and requests than we can service due to the excellent reputation we have built up in a very short time. We have also found an expanding market in the Kelso, Coldstream and Jedburgh areas.

We are looking for the right person to take on a Borders Driving School exclusive franchise in the Hawick area.

If you are an ADI, PDI or are thinking of becoming a driving Instructor and would like the opportunity to work in the Scottish Borders contact Carl at carl@bordersdrivingschool.co.uk or phone on 01896 759264 to discuss further details and set up an interview.

The Franchise

Our franchise is extremely flexible and will be tailored to your needs, but we can provide:

All Inclusive Franchise - car, signage, insurance, road tax, advertising, student contact and referral etc so low start-up costs for you at a reasonable monthly fee.

Training Franchise - As above but with training and supervision support to help you achieve ADI.

Low Cost Franchise - You provide your car etc and we provide the students, you only pay for the students we provide.

These are only some examples and we can accommodate your needs and reflect the amount of support we provide in the amount we charge you for the franchise.

We're In Kelso

And the surrounding areas of Coldstream, Gordon, Jedburgh and Duns

Borders Driving School have a new instructor joining the team. I'll let Hugh introduce himself on his own page.

Fixed Price Promise

No mater how long you take to complete your training we will not increase you basic lesson fees above what you pay on day one.

For example if you start training with us and pay £22 per lesson* - then take a year out to travel the world - when you restart your training with us you will still pay £22 per lesson*

* Fixed price does not extend to Pass Plus or other discounted offers.

Pass-Plus Now Available

Borders Driving School are pleased to be able to offer an additional service to its customers - Pass Plus

Pass-Plusis a scheme aimed at reducing the accident, injury and death rate amongst newly qualified drivers by offering additional training in areas not covered in the basic training. It aims to improve newly qualified drivers with positive driving attitude and skills.

The Pass-Plus scheme is voluntary and assessed by your instructor with no written exams to sit. You prove your understanding of the training by demonstration in the car. It is stressed that the course is almost all practically based (you in the car driving).

The Pass-Pluscourse consists of a minimum of 6 hours training. This can be structured to your needs and could consist of three 2-hour sessions or two half days or a whole day out on the road - with appropriate breaks etc.

So what's the cost? The full Pass-Pluscourse will be £160, but don't let that put you off because major insurers recognise the value of Pass-Plus and are offering significant discounts on new drivers car insurance. All companies differ but some offer up to a 50% saving. This saving alone should cover the cost of the Pass-Plustraining.

So its a no-loose scenario for you. You become a better, safer, more confident driver better able to cope with the demands of to-days roads and traffic and you could save yourself some money too!

Go to the Pass-Pluspage for full details and links to thePass-Pluswebsite.

Pricing Structure for 2007
