Ree If your application has been approved:
 
1. Our preferred driving school is RED Driving School who have over 1000 approved instructors nationally, please visit https://www.reddrivingschool.com  Please note that all lessons are 2-hours in length.
 
2. When you receive confirmation from Rees Foundation that your application has been approved you will need to arrange and pay directly to RED Driving School for your first 2-hour lesson. You can do this online or by the telephone 0330 332 2680.  We need you to send us evidence that this has been done contactus@reesfoundation.org
 
3. Following this, YOU will need to book your next 2-hour lesson with your instructor then notify us of the date/time as soon as you have arranged it,  Rees will then make the payment to RED for that lesson.
 
4. Once we receive confirmation that you attended the lesson, again, YOU can book a further 2-hour lesson with your instructor then notify us of the date/time as soon as you have arranged it,  Rees will then make the payment to RED for that lesson.

5. You will then arrange and pay for your next 2-hour lesson yourself. Once we have confirmation that you have done so; Rees will pay for the next 2-hour lesson and so on until Rees has paid for a total of 12 lessons (24 hours of lessons).
 
Please note that Rees Foundation will NOT fund further lessons without confirmation that you have paid for and taken your 2-hour lesson in between the lessons that we have paid for.  Unfortunately, we will not be able to pay for additional lessons should you fail to turn up for pre-booked lessons.
 
5. As stated above, Rees Foundation will support with a total of 12 lessons (24 hours) of driving per application and you will be expected to fund any additional lessons yourself to hopefully pass your test.
GOOD LUCK!
