Why become a driving instructor

Be your own boss

As a driving instructor, you won’t have a boss telling you what to do. You’re in charge, and you get to make the important decisions that affect you. You’ll also be able to make a positive impact on the community around you and meet new people every day.

Balance your work and life

Making time for things outside of work is important. As a driving instructor, you can control your own hours and balance your life, enabling you to make positive changes to your life and increase your job satisfaction.

Get up to 80 hours of training from experts who have passed over 10,000 instructors. And in the last 12 months, the average RED driving instructor had a gross weekly income of £1,050.
