Driving instructors are self-employe and everything they do is concerned with obtaining money (turnover) from customers by selling lessons, and paying out money (expenses) in order to deliver those lessons. There are fewer teens wanting to drive and more people with redundancy thinking "Oh look, I could be an ADI and earn "up to £40k a year". Ive seen the RED advert and they say that in my area I would have a lot of business as i would be the only girl in that area.

One of the great perks of being a driving instructor is that you get much longer lunch breaks than in most jobs. You’d have minutes between the first two lessons and two hours between the second and third. Plus the job itself can be tough unless you like driving and you like teaching.

Hi All, I was wondering if we have any driving instructors or partners of driving instructors knocking around on here?

I have looked at Bsm and Xcel Driving UK oh and i have read about red driving school if anyone has any recomendations i would be very happy.

You also need to consider that qualifying as a driving instructor is far from straightforward too. To do this you must be over years old and have held a driving licence for over three years, without holding any motoring convictions.

You must become an approved driving instructor (ADI) if you want to charge people for lessons. You can do this as part of a driving school or by setting up your own business.
