Constant Demand

Almost everybody from the ages of 14+ wants to learn to drive, which means there is always a high demand for driving instructors. In fact, it’s endless.

When it comes to driving schools, you can be as busy as you choose.

Choose Your Own Hours

One of the biggest perks of becoming a driving instructor in the UK is that you can choose your own working hours. You can choose to do weekend only lessons, or you can do early mornings. It’s entirely up to you.

What Are The Career Options for New Driving Instructors?

There are a number of options to you if you are considering becoming a driving instructor.

You may choose a driving instructor with an established school, most of the time, the school will charge you a monthly fee in order for you to be on their team.

However, this will go to the marketing and promotion of the whole school, bringing the people to you. Being part of a bigger driving school also means you have more support if you should need it in the long run, as well as a continual flow of customers.

Setting up as a sole independent trader, there are many independent driving instructors. This does mean you have full control of your business, you will not have any fees to pay to franchise or school, but you will need to cover all of your own insurances, marketing, and promotion.

You are also solely in charge of finding any pupils and responsible for them. Also bear in mind that often you will be competing with a large at more well-established driving schools, and this can be difficult for the first time driving instructors, especially as they don’t have any support for the reviews about the school. Alfie’s Driving School has 5-star ratings, so you know you will get the best learning experience and driving school support.

And a key piece of advice from Alfie‘s driving school is that you should be patient and have a good sense of humour, becoming a driving instructor can be a great and rewarding career option. But you should remember that it can be costly and take up to a year depending on your current schedule; however, it is rewarding and comes with some significant income increases.
