1st Class Driving Instructor Training

Thinking of becoming a Driving Instructor - then you will probably have found that you can spend up to £5,000 on a course with no guarantees of qualifying

Good Driving Instructors create good pupil experience and develop a professional business.

So at 1st Class we are always on the lookout for people that will make good Driving Instructors - so much so as when we find the right type we are prepared to train them for Free!

Whats the catch? - None that we know of - but to be accepted for our Free Training course:

• You have to be enthusiastic, get on well with people from all walks of life and be prepared to study.
• Be presentable and professional and make a good impression on us.
• There is no age limitation (except that you have had a fairly clean Driving licence for 4 years or more).
• You will have to pay your own Exam fees to Driving Standards Agency, but these are only £90 for Part 1, £111 for Part2 and £111 for Part 3 exams.
• You will also have to spend about £100 (or borrow from your Library) the DSA's recommended reading books.

For this we will provide a course of training that includes:

• A home study course for the Part 1 exam, structured so that you can complete most of it in your spare time at home with visits to our office for progress checks and to complete test exams.
• Up to 12 hours of in-car driver training - to develop your Driving Skill to the standard required to pass the Part 2 Driving Test
• 40 hours of in-car and Classroom training in Teaching Learner Drivers
• A one day induction course - to prepare you to work as a successful Driving Instructor

Having completed this you then take out a "Trainee Licence" and start teaching for real:

• We will provide you with a fully equipped (and maintained) car for teaching
• We wil introduce you to pupils for you to teach
• We will look after all of your bookings, work diary, credit card payments
• We will provide a further 20 hours of training that is needed for you to take your last & final Part 3 Teaching exam

Why should you train with us?

• Because we have over 30 years of experience we've successfully trained over 10,000 people.
• Currently our success rates for the past year have been 95% which substantially higher than most other organizations.
• We are a driving school as well as a instructor training establishment which keeps you still within the company rather than having two different places to train and work.
• Our prices are reasonable.
• We have various different payment options available for example; you can pay as you go, pay over 6 months interest free installments or when you pay upfront you get £100 discount.
• We are one of the only driving schools that don't put you on a fixed franchise when you first start up instead we put you on a ' shared scheme '.-We supply you with a car ( which is taxed & insured), your own receptionist ( who will lapse your pupils and chase any monies outstanding). The comparison between a fixed franchise and a shared scheme is that with a franchise you'll have to pay a fixed amount regardless of the amount of work that is given, whereas with a shared scheme you only pay a portion of every hour that you work. So if you don't have any hours in your diary you don't have to pay anything.
