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.

Why go with a Smart Drive UK Ottery-St-Mary Driving Instructor Franchise?

With Smart Drive UK, ADIs won’t have to worry about getting tied to non-productive driving instructor franchise contracts. ADIs are in total control and are not required to make any financial commitments with a contract from the company. The company has made a name in ensuring ADIs remain with them by choice instead of being tied down by a contract.

Smart Drive UK does not hire multiple driving instructors in Ottery-St-Mary unless demand for instructors requires more instructors. Driving instructors in Ottery-St-Mary stay with Smart Drive UK on a long-term basis due to their unique advantages. The company is devoted to filling the diaries of ADIs under their franchise and offers a guarantee to provide a minimum number of pupils based on reliable estimates.

Why are Driving Instructor Franchises in Ottery-St-Mary a very good idea?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to choose between signing up for a franchise or starting their own business soon after qualification. There are advantages to each route taken which further toughens the selection process. When running your own driving school business, some bottlenecks must be navigated. Every ADI relies on recommendation for their supply of pupils. Marketing and a positive reputation, both long-term factors, are needed to be able to gain recommendations.

Drawing pupils could require building a social media presence, building a website and spending a decent sum on marketing in various media. For many ADIs, earning a full-time income quickly is a top priority thus making the first few months or years as an ADI turbulent. Joining a franchise like the Smart Drive UK Ottery-St-Mary driving instructor franchise, on the other hand, makes it possible to start earning right away and ensure a full diary as fast as possible.

How to pick a driving instructor franchise in Ottery-St-Mary

When it is time to join a driving instructor franchise in Ottery-St-Mary, you cannot afford to make a mistake.

You can’t afford to choose carelessly as you could be staring at a long-term contract that would require forfeiting hefty sums to break. The marketing clout of some of the more popular driving school companies can make them a strong option for many people, but in many cases, local businesses yield better results.

Local companies have been around for a while, making them a better option for a steady supply of pupils. After your franchise agreement, the steady supply of work is the next important factor when picking a driving instructor franchise.

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.
