Train to be a Driving Instructor East Lothian, Driving Instructor Training Midlothian

Myth: "I can qualify in 4-12 weeks yeah?"

Fact: "A quick Google search can have all sorts of time frames for learning, however, the reality is that with test waiting times are around 12 weeks plus, there's more chance of a white fridge falling from the sky and landing on your head whilst swimming the Atlantic, whilst clutching a winning lottery ticket between your teeth than completing the course in this time frame. Nevertheless, we endevour to work at the speed you require, but it's only fair we will be realistic with you.

Myth: "All Instructor Training organisations are the same?"

Fact: "I want to answer this by telling you why we are different.

Do you remember from the previous page how many people complete the whole course and qualify?

"11 out of every 100 People"

This can be for several reasons and the most common are below. It is however very difficult to get accurate figures based on the way the Government figures are calculated, but in my experience the reasons are:

1/. Current work circumstances changed for the better:

2/. Family circumstances change.

3/. Part 1 test more difficult than they thought.

4/. Part 2 test failure on third attempt.

5/. Lack of money.

6/. It's taking too long to pass.

7/. New job.

8/. Part 3 test failure on third attempt.

Another way to look at this is that if 100 people pay £3,000 in advance, thats £30,000 the Trainer has made, before lifting a finger. Now that you have paid all your money and it's in their pocket or in a contract to pay all the money regardless of whether you qualify or not, what incentive does your trainer have in you qualifying? If you were the trainer, would you be quite happy that 50%+ didn't go any further than their Part 2 test? It would save them around £4,000 in expenses too.

Pro's & Con's

Myth: "Earnings in excess of £30,000 per Year."

Fact: The TV adverts claim that you can "EARN" £30K per Annum and I agree that this is a fairly accurate figure and certainly for your second year. In your first year you will be building your customer base and you must make allowances for this. £24,000-£26,500 is more accurate in year 1 based on Catz-i.com Learner lessons at £25.00 per hour. Therefore:

1 Hour Lesson £26 X 5 Lessons per day = £130.00 per Day

Working 5 days per week = £650.00 per Week

Working 48 weeks out of 52 = 48 X £650.000 = £31,200 per Year

You can see this looks good on paper. But...

You need to deduct all of your vehicle and working expences and training courses and being sick and when customers are on holiday etc...

Therefore, the greatest downside of being Self Employed is that

'If you don't work, you don't get paid'.

Nevertheless, after tax, national insurance and all working expenditure, you can bring home a very decent £22,000 - £25,000 in your first year as an ADI with all of your training being 'Tax Deductable' too.
