No show students are one the most frustrating parts of the job. <BR/><BR/>In the California driving school industry it is very common for driving schools to charge no show students a cancellation fee. <BR/>This fee can range from $20-$90 per occurrence. Is this not something that UK driving schools do?<BR/><BR/>Another method for reducing no show students that we commonly employ is requiring students to pay in advance. If one of our students has previously no showed we expect a payment for the next appointment to be made 24 hours in advance. It seems that students are more likely to be on time for their lessons if they've already paid.<BR/><BR/>My wife and both enjoy reading your blog and watching your videos. It is fascinating to observe the similarities and the differences between driving instructors on opposite sides of the globe. Keep up the good work!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183681537542312020noreply@blogger.com
