(Details of a franchise below) The DSA stipulate that the school sponsor should ensure that you receive support and a further training of 20 hours before an attempt is made at the final exam. Training with the training team will continue.
What is a franchise?
A franchise is a term used in the Driving Instructor industry for the being self employed Instructor working within a Driving School. It is the payment that is made weekly by the Instructor to the School for its services. All schools offer different franchise offers, some examples below
- Low franchise with a buy a pupil fee ranging from £20 - £120
- £3.50 - 5.00 per lesson done in a week scheme (30hrs = £150)
- Set franchise ranging from £70 - £220
The school that work alongside the training team all guarantee you
- Full or part time job whichever you choose.
- Provide you with a Duel Controlled Car if needed,
- The use of the corporate image and roof sign
- An ongoing supply of pupils.
- Stationary and working materials
- And much more...
Whilst still in training and from experience the training team recommend that only 20 - 26 hours per week are worked. And that the fact that money can now be earned should NOT be at the forefront.
A Trainee must focus fully on continuing and allowing time for training sessions and home study. Too many trainees fail at this last hurdle due to focusing on the potential money to be earned.
A trainee must remember that the pupil is relying on them to keep them SAFE and it is imperative that correct teaching methods are developed within each lesson. The training team will monitor your progress. And the school will be there to offer a helping hand.
Earnings - You can earn £520 per week based on just 26 hours per week! Once qualified up your hours to 40 and start earning £800 per week!
Please be aware that becoming a driving instructor should not be taken as an easy option of a career. The training is intense and full commitment will be expected.
Not everyone is cut out to be an instructor, so before making any decisions you will be invited for a simple assessment based on basic communication skills, the team will also have a look at your own driving.
To arrange this appointment please get in touch with us. You will be given an information pack and details on course fees, as we feel that it is quite complex we prefer not to supply costs on this site. The costs involved are competitive with other training courses..
