If a student fails to have their current drivers licence on them, they will not be able to drive. Any participants failing to meet the eligibility criteria, will forfeit the entire course fee.

Module One – Group Discussion

A lot of time and effort is required in preparing and organising a single Safer Drivers Course. This includes time of the course provider as well as facilitators and coaches, who allocate their time away from other driver training duties. Therefore, there are additional late notice and cancellation fees to cover administration   and re-organising of course participants. 

1. If a participant cancels their Module One session and provides less than 10 days notice before the commencement of the session, no refund will be offered.
2. If a participant simply fails to attend a scheduled Module One session, no refund will be provided.

 

Module Two – In-Car Coaching

The Module Two component of the course requires two (2) participants at any given time. Where a participant needs to re-schedule this session and provides more than 48 hours notice, every effort will be made to re-book a future session.

1. If your Module Two Coaching session is cancelled with less than 24-hours notice before the commencement of the session time, the requirements of the SDC will not be met and the full course fee will not be refunded.
2. If a participant wants to reschedule their Module Two Coaching Session once arrangements have been confirmed with the student (either via SMS or email), an additional $75.00 will be required to re-book. Your cancellation affects the trainers time and commitment as well as the other participant as they are unable to complete the coaching session alone.
3. If for any reason one participant is unable to continue with Module Two, all attempts will be made to fulfill the session for the second participant.
4. If a participant simply fails to attend a scheduled Module Two session, no refund will be provided and an additional $75.00 will be required to re-book. If you decide to cancel for whatever reason, please contact Ascent Driver Training on 1800 868 969 or email us at saferdriverscourse@ascentdrivertrainingsdc.com.au
