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 and increase your job satisfaction.
Become a qualified expert
Get up to 80 hours of training from experts who have passed over 10,000 instructors. In the last 12 months, the average RED driving instructor had a gross weekly income of £1,050.
