Before you start booking your lessons, you are required to register and create an account by clicking on REGISTER button. Once you create your account you may select the package that you are interested. Our web site allows you to book once payment is received.

You may pay by a credit card or sending an e-transfer to protonschool@protonmail.com. Once the payment is completed you will be able to start booking your lessons.
All cancellation and rescheduling are required to be initiated one week prior to the lesson in order to be eligible for refunds or changes. It is strongly recommended not to book any lesson unless you are sure about your schedule and entirely committed to taking that session. When a student cancels a booked lesson close to the scheduled time, it not only takes away the opportunity from other students to benefit our service but also wastes our time and affects our revenue. We understand that you may need to cancel or reschedule your driving session, thus we allow you to do so online. However, the booking system has been set up so it does not allow repeating cancellations or rescheduling. We expect you to respect our time and business as we do yours. Please review the school policy entirely.

We only offer our road test package to the students who have signed up for at least one of our driving lessons packages. And we reserve the right to refuse providing our cars for the road test if our instructor does NOT confirm that a student is ready for the test. We believe not only it is unsafe but also presents a poor image of us if a student shows up for the test while he/she is not well-prepared.
