Don’t worry, you can still train to become a Driving Instructor, whilst doing a full-time job alongside your training. Driving Instructor Training consists of 3 parts. You can complete Part 1 at home whilst being supported by our dedicated Training Support team. Only 8 days are needed to complete our intensive training course.

• 10 hours of Part 2 training (completed over 2 consecutive days)
• Part 3 training (completed over 6 days)

If you need to be more flexible with your training, then our flexible training course is right for you! You can schedule all your in-car sessions at dates/times that are convenient for you.

No, you do not need to provide your own vehicle to complete your Driving Instructor Training. The in-car sessions of your training programme will take place in the comfort of one of our vehicles! For your Part 2/3 exams, you can have the choice to use your own car, but you can also rent one of our vehicles.

There are no hidden costs for your Driving Instructor Training. All payments made to us are for your training only. For your PDI & ADI licenses, you’ll need to pay the DVSA/DVA, regardless of your training provider.

The current costs for tests and license badges can be found in our Driving Instructor Training Information Pack.

To be able to start training and be eligible to become a Driving Instructor, there are a few requirements to which you must be able to meet:

• You must’ve held a full UK driving license for 3+ years.
• Have 5 points or less, on your driving license.
• You must be able to read a number plate from 2 metres
  away (you’re allowed to wear glasses/contact lenses for this).
• You must be able to pass a DBS check with the UK government.
• To legally qualify as a Driving Instructor, you must also be able to register as a PDI and obtain a Personal Reference Number (PRN).

We cannot guarantee a pass, as the DVSA/DVA conduct the tests. It’s the same way in which nobody can guarantee that you’ll pass your driving test immediately as a learner driver. With that being said, we’ve invested heavily into resources to ensure that we can maximise your chances of passing first time.

Absolutely not, the franchise is completely optional on completion of the training. If you choose to join our franchise or take on your new career independently, is completely your own choice.
