Having different instructors

    I'm starting lessons in the next week or two. I have one school booked in for the week after next for a couple of 1 hour lessons, but then after organising that, I had another get back to me and say they could fit me in for a 2-hour next week. So, I agreed to that as well. Both schools seem to be well-rated enough.

    I understand that using different instructors at the same time could be confusing, especially for someone just starting, and possibly even miff the instructors a bit as I could be getting taught in contradicting ways, but I thought I might as well go ahead with what I've booked for now and then possibly see who to use on a more regular basis from there on out. At least that's the plan for now. Thoughts?

    I’d a girl come to me for lessons recently, turned out I was to be one of four ADIs she wanted to use. Tbh, I wasn’t at all keen on that scenario at all and wished her all the best.

    Yeah, I can understand that. I did let the first instructor who got back to me that I'd been contacting different ones around the same time, and might have another one giving me an earlier date.

    If I like the one who's giving me the earlier lesson, and he's available, I might stick with him. I'd still have a week to cancel the other lessons. How would you be with someone cancelling on you a week beforehand? I don't like to leave anyone out of pocket, here.

    I had an overlap of instructors for a little while when learning.
    I had nobody to practice with and therefore no sponsor, so I didn't think it made a big difference who the other person I was driving with was anyway!

    A week is more than enough notice. My T&Cs state at least 24hrs notice. Some ask for 48hrs.
