Driving Instructor Jobs
Many people find that getting a job as a driving instructor leads to an enjoyable, worthwhile career. It's not easy to become a driving instructor, but for those who qualify and work hard, the rewards are there.
To get a driving instructor job, you need to qualify to be registered with the Driving Standards Agency. Qualification involves taking three separate tests:
1. Part 1 - the ADI Theory Test
2. Part 2 - the test of driving ability
3. Part 3 - the test of instructional ability.
It's not easy to pass these tests and you will need to sign up with a driving instructor training organisation for professional training. The costs of training can vary from one organisation to another. Amongst the most expensive is Red Driving School. Other well known Instructor trainers are LDC Instructor Training and BSM. There are also many good local instructor trainers, so it's worth shopping around.
Getting driving instructor jobs when you've qualified
Most driving instructor training organisations run a trainee scheme where, once you've passed the first two exams, you can work as a driving instructor while you get experience to help you pass the third exam. Once you have qualified you are free to either continue with the driving school that you trained with or set up on your own or find an alternative driving school franchise.
You cannot work as an independent driving instructor until you are fully qualified.
Driving schools do not offer salaried driving instructor jobs in the normal sense of the word. What they offer is a driving school franchise, where you are effectively self-employed. As such you are responsible for tax, NI contributions etc and there are no paid holidays or sick leave.
Leaving a big driving school franchise & going to a small one
While most people who train with one of the big driving schools end up going independent a few do stay with the big school and are happy with the service they get. Others realise that they are not getting what they want from the big driving school and decide to launch out on their own at the end of thei tie-in period, but are not wanting to launch out on their own. This is where getting a local driving school franchise job can be ideal. Many smaller local driving school franchises do a great job. Many have a real family feel and their are levels of support that you may not get with a big driving school or just being out on your own. Getting a driving instructor job with a local franchise is a great option for many instructors.
