any driving instructors on here??

[ginga]

I've been thinking of become one and just like to know if anyone has or is an instructor as I heard mixed things about it. Its loads of dosh to do the training and a franchise with the AA is like 200 quid a week but u do get a brand new Ford every 9 months. Any input be appreciated

If you do decide to do this, don't use The Instructor College..... They are, in my humble opinion, a bunch of thieves who will take your money after promising you support and help and then drop you

You would have to give a lot of lessons to give back 200 a week and still make money. I suppose in time you could establish yourself and go it alone.

Well I'm not gone do it. Works out I'd have to work 60 hours a week just to earn 16 grand after expenses in a year. Ill just stay in security for now. These franchises are all cons

earning £20-£25 per hour might sound good, but when taking into consideration all the expenditures and costs, youre left with little, near enough the same as a normal annual basic wage, thats why you see them working around the clock, late afternoons and weekends

they should get more from that cut though imo

For me I'd be taking a ten grand a year cut and working 15 hours more a week

DONT do it wast eof time, its only  part time venture, there are too many people at it under cutting you. The market is saturated. I wasted 3000 a couple of years ago, mainly because I am an idiot and did not motivate myself! Im kind of glad I didnt do it now. I am trining to be a sparkie now much better.
