Become a Driving Instructor
Turn your driving experience into a highly rewarding career. We provide the dedicated, 1-to-1 coaching you need to navigate the DVSA qualification process and build a successful business across North Somerset.
Your Roadmap to Qualification
Register with the DVSA
Before you begin any training, you must be accepted onto the DVSA's register of potential driving instructors (PDIs) and obtain a criminal record check (DBS).
Apply on GOV.UK ↗Part 1: Advanced Theory
A rigorous test of your hazard perception and comprehensive knowledge of driving theory, instructional techniques, and the Highway Code. We provide the guidance and resources to ensure you are fully prepared.
Part 2: Driving Ability
An advanced practical driving test. Through 1-to-1 in-car mentoring, we will elevate your driving to an expert level, ensuring you demonstrate foresight and perfect consideration for other road users.
Part 3: Instructional Ability
The final hurdle. A DVSA examiner will observe you giving a real lesson. We will teach you the core competencies of lesson planning, risk management, and adaptive teaching strategies required to pass.
Comprehensive Training Package
Unlike the large, national corporate driving schools where you are just a number, we offer bespoke, localized training drawn from years of successful professional instruction in Portishead.
