General Comments

Nipper SOM was unprofessional from the start :-( driving instructor asked me to pay for a 40hr intensive course up front in cash, saying that a cheque was too difficult for him to process.
Then the driving school changed the instructor, as he could not complete the course due to 'an appointment' but they wanted to start the course again and charge me for extra hours.
Finally, I was shocked that the new instructor was unable to prepare a student for test during a 40hr intensive course - he used few individual strategies, was inflexible in his teaching technique and wanted to extend the course before allowing the student to take the test. he refused to allow the student to take the test because if he failed it would affect the pass rates of the driving school.
When asked how many more lessons might be required, he replied "how long is a piece of string".
I would have gone elswhere, but they already had all my money up front.
We will now be going to a more professional organisation to learn how to drive properly.
