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.

What are the Benefits of the Smart Drive UK Thornbury Driving Instructor Franchise?

Smart Drive UK does not support driving instructor franchise contracts that offer as low as one student per week and contracts without any guarantees. With the contract, approved driving instructors are always in control of what happens during their stay with the company. Franchisees remain with Smart Drive UK out of their own volition.

Unless required by student demand, Smart Drive UK will not hire more driving instructor franchisees in Thornbury to compete with you. Driving instructors in Thornbury stay with Smart Drive UK on a long-term basis due to their unique advantages. ADIs have full diaries with Smart Drive UK, and the company offers a guarantee on the minimum number of pupils per instructor.

Why sign up for a Driving Instructor Franchise in Thornbury?

After becoming an approved driving instructor, becoming a driving instructor franchisee or starting up your own business are two main options available to you. There are considerations to be made on each side of the divide, and the ultimate decision is down to you as the ADI. To run your own driving school business, there is a set of challenges that must be navigated. ADIs that have a steady supply of pupils know that recommendations are vital. Recommendations will only come after you have built a positive reputation over a period of time.

Getting the right number of pupils requires building a website, engaging potential students on social media and investing in various forms of marketing. 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. This is where joining a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Thornbury driving instructor franchise makes sense.

How to pick a driving instructor franchise in Thornbury

When choosing a driving instructor franchise in Thornbury to join, you need to ensure you have made the right decision.

The wrong choice of franchise will not only lead to stagnant or non-existent earnings, but you could also lose money from your pocket. It is easy to get engrossed with some of the well-known names, but some of the more local names can yield better results.

The primary reason for this is that local companies have been around your target area and must have built a reputation with local people. The franchise contract is the first factor considered when settling for a driving instructor franchise agreement, but a steady supply of pupils should be a close second.

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.
