Your Future Career
Your Future Career
After successfully qualifying and you become a driving instructor we will help you with the supply of learner driver pupils in your local area either by operating as a self-employed driving instructor directly under our name or as an associated instructor.
Our intention is to get you as busy as you want to be as quickly as possible.
Unlike some other driving schools we do not operate as a franchise. All payments to us are on a commission only basis. You only pay us a small commission based on how busy we can get you; no commission is paid to us when you do not work such as on holidays or if your car is off the road etc.
We will discuss this with you in more detail at the time of your interview, but we promise you that our commission rates are one of the lowest rates you can find anywhere.
