Please review the program rules and regulations before signing the registration form and making payment for the services we offer. This is our legal binding contract. Thank you in advance for trusting SLIDS with your driver training needs and we appreciate your full cooperation with the following terms and conditions.

General Rules: Salt Lake International Driving School is an LLC registered with the State of Utah, Department of Commerce, licensed by the City of South Salt Lake to conduct business in the city, and certified by the Utah Department of Public Safety Driver License Division as a Commercial Driver Training and Driver Testing School. Our school is owner-operated, with low overhead costs, therefore passing all the savings on to you while providing you with exceptional Driver education experience.

SLIDS will provide students with driver education services based on individual student needs. SLIDS does not have a one-size fits all policy. Every student driver is unique therefore the training provided will be catered to the student while exceeding the state minimum requirements for licensing in the State of Utah. SLIDS offers Complete Driver’s Ed course, Behind-The-Wheel only Course, Private Driving Session, Refugee focused Driver Education course and DLD approved State Skills assessment (Road Test). All scheduled behind the wheel lessons and road tests will continue as scheduled after the 24-hour cancellation period. We reserve the right to change or modify your scheduled appointment with a reasonable amount of advance notice as seen fit for the safe operation of the program, and other business needs. Such changes will be communicated to you either by email or through the phone number provided at registration via call or text. It is your responsibility to monitor your email and phone for any updates regarding your scheduled driving or testing sessions. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the office for the status of their scheduled behind the wheel or testing sessions should there be questionable inclement weather in the valley.

Finally, we reserve the right to cancel driving or testing sessions for reasonable cause (i.e., natural disaster, severe weather and alike). SLIDS will provide you with as much advance notice as possible for any changes to your scheduled appointments. For changes initiated by the student, SLIDS requires a minimum of 24-hr advance notice from you to make changes to your appointments, should the need arise. Any changes within 24 hours of the scheduled start time will incur a non-refundable change fee of $50.00/Hr missed or rescheduled for behind the wheel driving sessions. There is no refund for Road Test appointment changes or cancellations within 24hrs of the scheduled time. You will forfeit the payment and appointment if you are more than 10 minutes late from your scheduled start time.

After this grace period a $100 service charge will be assessed in addition to any behind-the-wheel hours, and classroom lessons completed before withdrawal. For the Online Drivers Ed course, refunds are only permitted prior to receiving the welcome email with the login credentials. Once the email is sent to the registered email; the student has access to the school material and therefore no refunds will be processed even if the student has not logged into the course. These are student specific logins and cannot be reversed or deactivated. For any behind the wheel training session, refunds are only permitted within the grace period mentioned above and before any appointments are made and accepted by the students. There are no refunds for the Behind the wheels sessions once appointments are scheduled and the student has accepted such appointment via google calendar invite. No refunds of any sort are allowed after six (6) months of program enrollment.

No show Fees: A fee of $120.99 will be charged to the student if he or she is absent from a previously scheduled behind the wheel driving appointment in addition to the course fee. The no show fee must be paid in full before any subsequent appointment (s) are made. If the student misses two or more scheduled driving appointments without proper cancellation notice, the tuition will be forfeited, and the student fails the course. All withdrawals or change requests must be made 24 hours before the start of the scheduled session by contacting the school’s main phone number and leaving a message if unanswered or by sending an email to the school email address provided at the time of registration. No re-scheduling or cancellation will be accepted via text messaging.

Course Time Limit: Complete Drivers Ed Course, Behind The wheels Only Course and Private Driving sessions and Online Drivers Ed only course must be completed within twelve calendar months of registration and payment.

Students may choose to go at their own pace, so long as the program is completed within the prescribed time above.

Learners Permit: The student shall supply the school with a valid learner permit before any driving sessions are scheduled. The permit must also remain valid throughout the student enrollment in any of the school programs. It is the student’s responsibility to check all ID and testing requirements for the State of Utah before registering in any of our programs. Any student that presents an expired learner permit, international driver license without the proper permit from the Driver’s License Division for a scheduled driving session or road test will be asked to re-schedule the appointment at the students’ expenses for the missed session with a rescheduling fee of $55 for test, and $120.99 for training session plus all applicable taxes and local fees.

Out of State: Out of state student trainees who have completed a portion of their state-required driver education skills hours may complete customized behind the wheels only skills training hours to meet the minimum Utah state requirements. The student can choose to either complete the full Behind-The-Wheels Only program (6 hours) or only complete the remaining hours at the current private drive hourly rate. At the completion of these hours, the student will be provided a certificate showing behind-the-wheel driving training hours completed at Salt Lake International Driving School.

Pickup/Drop Off Services: For all behind the wheel driving appointments, with prior arrangements SLIDS can provide pick up and drop off services within the scheduled appointment time slot anywhere in Salt Lake County. All scheduled driving sessions will begin at scheduled time from school and terminate at the school at the end of appointment slot. If pick up and drop off services are pre-arranged, the instructor will leave the school at the start of the appointment and drop off the student 15-minutes prior to the end of the appointment to allow sufficient time to return to school by end of scheduled appointment. The student is required to check in and confirm a pick-up address at least two hours prior to start of appointment.

Alcohol/Drug use: Salt Lake International Driving School has ZERO tolerance for student consumption of alcohol, drugs, or any chemical substance that may interfere with the safe operation of motor-vehicle during the session. A student suspected to be under the influence of any alcohol or drugs, (illicit or any prescribed) impairing the student’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle will be asked to re-schedule their appointment for a fee of no less than $100.00 per hour missed. This will be $200.00 per driving session missed due to drug and alcohol policy violation. It is the student’s responsibility to know the effects any prescribed drugs will have on their driving ability before making any behind the wheels training or assessment appointment.

Smoking/ Personal Electronic Device use: Smoking and vaping is not allowed during lessons (classroom or in- car sessions). Smoking is not permitted within thirty feet of the school vehicles or buildings. The use of personal electronic devices during class or while training or testing in the car is strictly prohibited. Students in violation of our smoking and electronic use policy will be given warnings as seen fit for the successful completion of the program. Any student who willfully fails to comply with our smoking and personal electronic device use policy will be dismissed from the program with no refund.

Skills Assessment/Road Test: Congratulations on reaching this milestone. Thank you for trusting us to evaluate your safe driving abilities. Salt Lake International Driving School is pleased to offer you a DPS approved, third party road test. A student may choose to use their own vehicle or school owned vehicle for this practical skills test. If a student chooses to use their own vehicle, the vehicle must be properly licensed, insured and in good mechanical condition.

A student trainee is limited to one skills test in any 24-hour period per division rules. If a student fails a skills road test at SLIDS or any other school, a student may re-take this test with SLIDS for a fee per test after a 24-hr waiting period from the end of the previous test. There is no limit to the number of attempts a students may make to pass a Utah Road Test. However, at the discretion of the school staff, a student may be required to take additional driver training courses at SLIDS or at any other school after three or more unsuccessful attempts to pass the driving test.

Remedial Training: SLIDS may require the student to provide proof of additional behind-the-wheels training before rescheduling any subsequent driving tests. Salt Lake International Driving School offers students a customized behind the wheels training under our private drive program to help the student with establishing safe driving skills. The student will then be instructed to get additional skills testing at a different third-party tester or at the Driver License Division office at the students’ expense should SLIDS provide any amount of behind-the-wheel training to a student after a failed road test attempt. Please note, per Utah rule 708, Salt Lake International Driving School will not offer the skills assessment/road test to students who have completed any amount of behind-the-wheel training hours or classroom training at our school.

Guarantees: Salt Lake International Driving School does not guarantee any student passing any part of subsequent testing after the completion of our program (s). We will do our best to equip you with the skills necessary to be a safe driver on Utah roadways. SLIDS does not guarantee a passing score of any road test, regardless of the number of attempts a student makes to pass the test at SLIDS or any other school. Each test is independent and scored as a new test, therefore it is the student’s responsibility to prepare adequately before attempting to take the Utah Skills Road Test.

Certification: As required by Utah Rule 708-2-16, upon completion of any of our training programs, you will receive a certificate of completion in your name providing proof of your training completion. You may present this certificate with separate documentation showing the completion of classroom training (if applicable) from another approved program to meet the driver license division’s requirements for driver education. Please note, Driver Education training completion requires both classroom and a minimum of 6-hours behind the wheels in car session to issue a certificate of completion. If only one of the two portions is completed at our school, SLIDS will not issue a certificate of completion for the one portion, however your training records will be shared with the Utah Driver License Division, Driver Education Unit for licensing purposes.

Thank you once more for giving us the opportunity to serve your Driver Education needs, we value your trust in us. We look forward to being on this journey with you. Welcome to SLIDS.
