Why Choose Us?

We undestand the risk to yourself of commiting to a contract that has either no guarantee of providing a specifc number of pupils or some that promise to give you only 50 pupils per year (that’s less than one per week). That is why we have created a NO Risk Franchise that leaves you in control and no financial risk to you. We want you to join and stay with us not because the contract term says you must but because you want to, and you love what we do for you, and we will not recruit another driving Instructor in your area unless we have to turn away business because you are too busy and need support. We do not have any sales teams so don’t worry just our family members explaining what we do.

97% of Driving Instructors that started with us on our trial period decided to stay with us. The other 3% left due to personal circumstances and not because of the service we provided. Filling your diary quickly is our highest priority and we will GUARANTEE a minimum number of pupils that will be given to you.

The company offers a franchise agreement that ensures ADIs are in full control without any financial outlays.

The company is one of the few that provides guarantees to driving instructors on pupil numbers further highlighting their commitment to ensuring profitability.

Why is a Driving Instructor Franchise in Bedlington a good idea?

One of the decisions you have to make as a newly qualified instructor is whether to set up your own business as an independent instructor or to take on a driving instructor franchise. The final decisions will come down to you the ADI as each side of the divide has advantages. To run your own driving school business, there is a set of challenges that must be navigated. Recommendation is vital for any ADI seeking a decent supply of pupils. Marketing and a positive reputation, both long-term factors, are needed to be able to gain recommendations.

You will have to participate in different forms of marketing, create a website and have some presence on social media to draw prospective driving school pupils. This is why many ADIs don’t find it easy in the first few months or years of starting their own driving school. Joining a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Bedlington driving instructor franchise, on the other hand, makes it possible to start earning right away and ensure a full diary as fast as possible.

Choosing the Bedlington Driving Instructor Franchise to work with

When it is time to join a driving instructor franchise in Bedlington, you cannot afford to make a mistake.

The primary reason why you need to carefully select your company of choice is the fact that most contracts are long term without any easy get-out clause. Don’t ignore local driving schools when looking for franchise opportunities even in the presence of some of the more popular names.

Pupils in the area will want to go with a local company that has been around for a while instead of a big name company with offices far away. Aside from the contract, the frequency of pupil supply is the next thing you should be concerned about.

FAQ’s

Can I take a break off after qualifying?

Some driving instructors build up their business slowly part-time alongside a full-time job to remove any risk financially. We will support you in your process to reach your goals.

Is full-time driving instruction of 40 hours or more per week a business with 40 pupils per week?

We encourage students to take lessons lasting and in 20 minutes (2 hours). 20 pupils are normally enough to be a full-time teacher with Smart Drive UK. In between lessons, travel time will be needed. We build multi-of learner drivers by encouraging block bookings.

Numbers of clients will Smart Drive UK give me?

Our advertising campaigns run throughout the year on a local and national basis positioning Smart Drive UK as a leader in local driving school provision. You can also promote your driving instructor business through our time-tested advice, resources, and marketing materials.

Is there a charge for supplying students?

You will not have to pay to get more students.

Will I be employed by Smart Drive UK?

No. Both independent driving schools and franchised driving instructors tend to be self-employed in the UK. Driving instructors have the benefit of being their boss.

You choose your work hours and organise your schedule to fit around your life. Driving instructors value the flexibility of the hours and the schedule; flexibility that is found in few other careers.

The nature of self-employed businesses is that the more you are willing to invest in terms of your time and energy the more you will get out in terms of financial rewards and job satisfaction.
