At IkeFam Driving School currently we do not offer specialised driving assessment services for medical conditions or disabilities, focusing instead on standard driving lessons and resources to book theory and practical tests for general drivers. While we offer customised packages for individual needs and schedules, our primary services are for standard driving education, including intensive courses and refresher lessons. For specialised driving assessments, you would need to contact a dedicated assessment centre.

Yes, you can customise a driving training package with IkeFam Driving School Instructors to fit your schedule and needs, as we offer flexible lesson booking options, tailor-made lessons, and the ability to manage your prepaid lessons through our online students panel/ app. You will need to use your student panel to book your lessons in advance based on instructor availability.

How to customise your package:

Explore our package options: IkeFam Driving School lists various manual / automatic lesson packages, but it is best to contact your instructor to understand how these can be tailored.

Use the Student Panel:

You can manage and schedule your prepaid lessons through the IkeFam Driving School student panel.

Contact the driving school Instructor directly:

While the website mentions flexible options, contacting us directly is the most reliable way to discuss your specific scheduling and learning needs and confirm if our packages are truly customisable.

Currently, at Ikefam Driving School we do not have a car hire service.

IkeFam Driving School instructors must pass three mandatory DVSA exams to become an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). These include a theory test, a practical driving ability test, and an instructional ability test. In addition to passing these tests, instructors must also undergo an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and meet other requirements like holding a full UK driving licence for a certain period.

Here are the qualifications and steps for an instructor to join IkeFam:

• Hold a Full UK Driving Licence: You must have held a full UK driving licence for at least three years.
• Pass the ADI Theory Test (Part 1): This test covers hazard perception and knowledge of the Highway Code.
• Pass the Driving Ability Test (Part 2): This is a practical driving test to assess your driving skills.
• Pass the Instructional Ability Test (Part 3): This is a test of your ability to instruct others, often involving a role-playing scenario with a driving examiner acting as a pupil.
• Complete an Enhanced DBS Check: You need to have an Enhanced DBS check to ensure you are fit and responsible to teach.
• Register with the DVSA: Once you've passed all three parts of the ADI test, you must register with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and receive your ADI certificate to start charging for lessons.

To choose the best IkeFam Driving School package, determine your prior driving experience, and assess how quickly you learn, then select a package that provides enough hours for your needs. You can start with the best-value package, as we at IkeFam offer refunds for unused lessons, so you're not locked into too many hours if you don't need them.

Consider your experience level:

1.Beginner:
You'll need more hours of training.

2.Experienced:
If you need a refresher or want to improve specific skills, a shorter course or package might suffice.

Look at your learning style:

1.Fast learners:
You may progress quickly and might need a shorter package.

2.Slower learners:
You may benefit from a longer package or even the longest one available to ensure you get enough training time.

Check for flexible options:

The best-value package is a good option if you're unsure. Since IkeFam refunds unused lessons, you don't have to worry about buying too many upfront.

For the best outcome:
Consider booking an initial lesson or contacting the school to get an instructor's assessment of your needs.
This initial assessment can help determine the total number of lessons you will need to reach a driving test standard.
