Most major driving schools train their own instructors. The AA driving school is the only driving school that do not offer any training packages and only recruit fully qualified instructors. Instructor training colleges and companies normally offer some form of guaranteed placement with an unnamed driving school to entice you to buy the training. If you don’t get a written offer specifically stating the name of the driving school then you don’t have a guaranteed position with them when you qualify. You should therefore insist on getting a written offer from the named driving school themselves. It would of course be very easy to place you with a driving school that paid you very little. The only way you can be certain of knowing who you will work for and how your income will be earned is if you train with the organisation that wants to recruit you - precisely what’s on offer from Drive South. We at Drive South unlike training organisations or colleges have a real and vested interest in you passing the examinations. Once qualified we guarantee immediate employment with Drive South. If however upon qualification you decide to go it alone we will assist you in every way possible. We at Drive South are realistic in understanding what it takes to become a qualified ADI. With our expert tuition and guidance we will ensure that you are properly prepared for each qualifying examination.
