In light of the recent Covid-19 pandemic, we have set a new standard in the way we conduct our driving lessons and courses at My Driving Academy.
As guided by the World Health Organisation, here’s what you can now expect from our services!
Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the most recent coronavirus.
Most of those infected with Covid-19 will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness. Older people, and those with certain underlying medical problems, can develop serious illness.
The best way to slow down transmission is by washing your hands or using hand sanitizer frequently – and restraining from touching your face.
Find more info at the World Health Organisation website.
• Key surfaces of the car are cleaned between lessons – including the steering wheel, seat belt, gear stick and door handles.
• Every car has small bottles of hand sanitizer that students should use before and after their lesson.
• We have non-surgical gloves in our cars, to add an extra barrier between you and the car surfaces. These are optional to wear, so just ask your instructor for a pair!
• We provide optional face-masks for our driving instructors. If you want your instructor to wear a facemask, you can request this at any time. Please note we don’t currently provide face masks for students.
• Don’t forget! All of our pickup points have access to a bathroom where you can wash your hands thoroughly before or after your driving lesson.
• At this current time, we are not allowing private driving supervisors (parents, partners, etc) to join students in the car during lessons.
Simply get in touch with our customer service.
We will reschedule your driving lesson for you, without any fuss 🙂
It is really important to tell your driving instructor if you start to feel ill during your lesson.
We have a procedure in place to help you get home safely.
• We have reduced the number of attendees to our courses and re-arranged the seating so everyone is a safe distance apart – so enjoy the extra leg room!
• We may confirm everyone’s contact details before the course, just in case someone becomes ill and we need to notify you.
• We have plenty of safety supplies at our courses, including tissues and hand sanitizer for everyone.
• During the course make sure you wash or sanitise your hands regularly, including before the course starts and before you eat.
• We have altered our delicious fika at our courses to ensure items are individually wrapped.
No problem – just get in touch with our customer support and we will reschedule your attendance to another time.
Don’t be shy! Tell your course leader if you start to feel unwell during a course, so we can implement a safe plan for you.
Our instructors are obliged to stop working if they show symptoms of Covid-19. They are fully supported if they need time off, so you can breathe easy that your instructor is under no pressure to work if they have symptoms.
We are prepared to make any necessary changes quickly as this pandemic develops. Any changes to your education will be communicated with you directly – so save our number in your phone so you don’t miss our calls.
If you have any questions about our protocol during the current Covid-19 pandemic, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our customer support staff by using the chat bubble, emailing us at hej@mydrivingacademy.com or calling us on 010-20 70 775!
