Becoming a Driving Instructor

Introduction:

Check out our sister website PassWith51.com for more detailed information on the process of becoming a driving instructor and what an instructor does. We welcome instructors from all backgrounds and cultures and want our instructors to reflect the communities that we serve.

 

Our instructors are free to organise their own days to fit in around both their lives and those of their students. We expect our instructors to do their best for their pupils and in return we will do our best for our instructors.

Training and Marketing Materials:

You will be fully supported with training and marketing materials. These will range from the Driving-Pro Handbook and various reflective logs. 

 

We run regular courses free of charge for our instructors with prominent national trainers. In the past we have used the following:

  • Tri-Coaching
  • Go Green
  • Wessex Drivability
  • ADINJC

 

In the past we have run different courses including:

  • Driver behaviour with Road Safety GB
  • Electric vehicles with Energy Saving Trust

 

Our instructors are provided with free of charge branded clothing if they want to wear it. All we ask is that our instructors look presentable and professional.

 

We personalise your vehicle signage. We will put your profile with your contact details on our website.  Everyone gets their own personalised  business card. We want you to be professional and as proud of us as we are proud of you. 

Support:

Our trainers and office staff will support and guide you through the process of becoming an instructor. You will be working with some of the best instructors in the area.

 

We have a regular breakfast meeting and a closed Facebook group where you can ask questions, share information and problems and meet some of your fellow instructors.

.

Joining Us:

There are two basic ways of becoming a Driving-Pro Limited instructor. Train with us and we will guide you through the whole process. Give us a call and we can meet up and have a coffee. You can come to one of our breakfast meetings and meet some of the team and ask some questions.

 

Or if you are already an existing PDI or ADI call or email us. We are happy to sit down and have a chat.
