Default any driving instructors

Basically i'm thinking about a career change
and was seriously thinking about becoming a
driving instructor.

I had a meeting witht the instructor college
last week and it does sound like a good move.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice and experience
to help make up my mind.

Cheers

got my part 2 at the end of jan, my advice is not to go with a big company who take a lump sum first!!

go with a private tutor and pay per lesson , you will get it done quicker and cheaper and probably get better training as well.

good luck

been doing it a while about a year now , but working at the same time is very hard, so be warned

it will take you around 9 months if you crack on

you are taking around 10 hours training for your part 2 and around 40 hours for your part 3.

start studying for your theory now as that will take around 1 month to absorb everything as its not a learn and forget test
