How much does it cost to become a driving instructor?
It may not be as expensive as you expect. If you want to take advantage of a trainee licence then it is compulsory that you take 40 hours training for the part 3 test. This cost can be offset with the trainee licence as you will have your own paying customers. You may have heard some of the horror stories about some of the national driving schools.
Here at Andrew’s Driving School it is in our interest to train you to a high standard. With this in mind we want you pass all 3 parts of the tests. This is because we want you to be one of our franchised instructors.
Our most popular training package is the full 55 hour course. This course is currently being offered at a discounted price.
The training we provide is on a pay as you go basis. This way you only need to take as much or as little as you need. Currently our hourly rate for driving instructor training is £50 per hour.

Your Options once you qualify
It is important to us that you receive the very best driving instructor training. Hence we conduct all of our own training. Our trainer not only wants you to pass the driving instructor tests but wants you to be a successful driving instructor that pupils want to learn to drive with.
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.
Our franchise is less than half of that, and with a short notice period it is up to us to keep you happy and give you the amount of work which you require.
