As a company the approach we have to training the Driving Instructors of the future, is to keep things simple. You will often find other instructor training companies who explain very technically whats expected from you, this is not neccessary and puts potential Driving Instructors off as they think its beyound their capabilities. As for the costs involved there are some companies out there who only care about how much money they can get from you (typically upto around £4000) and then how quickly they can get you off their books. We find this as a company absolutely disgraceful behaviour for 3 reasons.

The costs do not need to be anywhere near £4000
It’s very important that you do not rush the training, dispite what the larger establishments tell you you should do. You will often be told that your part 3 training consists of 40 hours which is done in a week, if this is what your told, walk away as it rarely works. There is alot of work involved with your part 3 training and you need time to take in the information, therefore the training needs to be spread out.
As a Driving Instructor you have to be a fit and proper person to be trusted to give value for money driving lessons to the public. We interperit this to mean you should give the best possible training for a reasonable amount of money.
