Refresher lesson — frequently asked questions

How long is the RED refresher course?
The standard RED refresher package is 6 hours, which can be split into 2-hour sessions across multiple days or weeks to suit your schedule.
Can I take more than 6 hours if I need more time?
Yes — if you feel you need more sessions after the initial 6 hours, simply book additional lessons. You can carry on for as long as you feel necessary to feel confident.
Do I need to take the refresher package or can I book single lessons?
You can book single refresher lessons if you prefer. However, the 6-hour package is designed to give a complete and structured improvement in your driving in the most cost-effective way.
Is a refresher course right for me if I have an overseas licence?
Yes, absolutely. We regularly help drivers from overseas adapt to UK roads, road markings, roundabouts and left-hand driving. Our instructors are experienced in this type of lesson.
Can I get a refund if I don't use all my hours?
Yes — RED's no quibble refund policy means any unused lesson hours are fully refunded. If you feel confident after just 4 hours, you'll be refunded for the remaining 2.
