After you qualify it is your choice what you do , you may either set up on your own or join a franchise, Our aim that you join our franchise. In which we are confident that we provide the best driving school franchise in the UK. This is down to the reputation which we have built by having the best instructors. Above all, with our driving school being so popular our instructors need not travel too far between lessons. Meaning more income for the instructor.
In addition with our franchise there is only a 4 week notice period required. With this in mind if you decide it’s not for you then there is only a 4 week notice period required. In contrast to some of the big national driving schools . These schools require a minimum of 12 months notice, and also they are charging around £200 per week. A much as 12 months notice at that cost is a considerable amount of money.
