Lots people choose to become a driving
instructor because they believe they are a good driver, however, by far
the most important factor to consider is, am I a good communicator.
The majority of pupils have never experienced driving before and so
will be nervous and it is your task to teach them how to drive safely
and prepare them for their test, whilst keeping calm and patient. Being
a driving instructor is a very rewarding
career, it is great to see your pupil achieve something they
could not previously do and you will get a sense of satisfaction seeing
them pass their test. You can also enjoy flexible working hours, so it is the
ideal career if you want to work during school hours for example, even
the training can be done around your current commitments so you can
still generate an income whilst training.
