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 Join a Smart Drive UK Ponteland Driving Instructor Franchise?

Smart Drive UK’s driving instructor franchise contracts are carefully formulated to make sure ADIs are not mandated to stick to contracts offering less than one student a week. No financial commitments are needed on the part of ADIs, and the company ensures total control for drivers as well. Franchisees with the company enjoy flexibility as they can elect to leave at any point in time.

Smart Drive UK does not hire multiple driving instructors in Ponteland unless demand for instructors requires more instructors. Most Driving Instructors in Ponteland that join the Smart Drive UK Franchise go on to remain with the company on a long-term basis. To further show their commitment towards providing a steady stream of income for driving instructors, the company offers a guarantee on pupil numbers.

Why sign up for a Driving Instructor Franchise in Ponteland?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to determine if they will go the driving instructor franchise route or start their own business from scratch. The decision is a hard one as there are many benefits to each side of the argument. Different challenges face any newly qualified drivers that decides to start their own businesses. Recommendations and referrals are your best bet to getting new clients as an ADI. Recommendations will only come after you have built a positive reputation over a period of time.

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. 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. The Smart Drive UK Ponteland driving instructor franchise presents an opportunity for a full diary within weeks of becoming an ADI.

How to find a profitable Ponteland driving instructor franchise

You have to ensure due diligence when picking a Ponteland Driving Instructor Franchise as you can’t afford to make any mistakes.

Making a mistake with the selection process could mean losing time and money. 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.

The local companies have been on the ground for years and thus have local networks in place for a steady supply of pupils. Aside from the contract, the frequency of pupil supply is the next thing you should be concerned about.

Smart Drive

Success as an ADI is impossible without a full diary weekly, so you need to seek guarantees where possible. Contact Smart Drive UK today to start off your Ponteland driving instructor franchise career as they have ticked all the right boxes.

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.
