Covid-19 Hygiene Protocols

iGo Driving School is passionate about the health and safety of both pupils and instructors. We have therefore composed a set of hygiene protocols, in line with government recommendations, for our instructors and pupils to follow before, during and after each lesson.

Before The Lesson

  • Our instructors will cancel* a lesson if they have had any symptoms within the last 7 days or if they have been in contact with anyone who has had symptoms within the last 14 days.

  • Before collecting a pupil for a lesson, our instructors will call or text to ask if you have had any symptoms of the virus within the last 7 days, or if you have been in contact with anyone that is showing symptoms or has been doing so within the last 14 days. If you have, then the lessons will be cancelled* until you have recovered.
    *please review cancellation terms and conditions

  • You will be reminded to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds immediately before leaving the house for your lesson and if you want to wear disposable gloves and/or a facial covering, you should put them on just before getting into the car.

  • You will also be asked to wear clothing that is suitable and covers as much of you as possible, including arms and legs.

During The Lesson

When our instructors arrive, you should meet them at the car where you will be offered the opportunity for a temperature check with a non-contact forehead thermometer. Our instructors will then explain that:

  • there is additional hand-sanitiser in the car if you wish to use it.

  • you should avoid touching your face and hands.

  • you will not shake hands, share visual aids, pens etc. and all contact will be minimised for safety.

  • between lessons our instructors have used anti-bacterial wipes to clean down door handles inside and out, windows and mirror controls, seat and head restraints, seatbelt and its connection, gear lever, steering wheel, indicator and wiper stalks, car keys and
    training resources

  • air-conditioning is discouraged and that the windows will be down as much as possible during the lesson to allow for ventilation
    no parents, guardians or friends, will not be able to sit in on the lesson

After The Lesson

  • Before you leave the car, our instructors will remind you to wash your hands the moment you get into your house.

  • When you have exited the car, our instructor will undertake the meticulous cleaning process to ensure the car is ready for the next lesson.
