I Spend £12948 Per Year To Be A Driving Instructor 

Thanks Ram good luck

Thanks Jade. Really appreciate the support😁

Cheers josh you’re awesome

Hey Jon you are welcome. Don't only look at this one though I have plenty of really positive videos about driving instructing. This only covers the negative side which is after all tax deductable.

Thank you

Don't worry Brian I'll do a another one with more info. Good luck with your part 1.🤞🍀

Thank you Paul 🙌

Did you pass on 1st attempt?

im looking at this too, im thinking that in about 10 years all cars will be electric, this means that all new cars will be auto. i think its the way to go

But if you teach in manual your students who pass can drive both manual and auto. If your students pass in an auto, then they can only drive an auto. So it restricts what they can drive

@@davewhite768 thanks Dave that’s true I’ve thought about that too. However, I think these days some people can’t be bothered to Learn the controls of a manual and or they don’t ever want to drive a manual so go for just auto. In addition to this, in a few years there won’t be many manual cars with electric vehicles taking over. I think I will start off with manual as the demand is higher for manual and then decide whether I want to do auto or both. Thanks for your advice much appreciated.

Hey Tony yes I got the pwgeot9 standard then paid a duel Fitter to fit them at a later date. I don't think I ever got round to the video about the better way. But I'll try get it done soon.

@@JoshRamwell thank you very much.

Hey Mathew glad you enjoyed it. It really depends on how many lessons you can squeeze into that 40 hour week and it depends on if you have the students. If you have good diary management and enough students then yes you would get around the 37 mark.

Hey Erin as we are self employed at the moment there is no maximum hours. I know another couple of but drivers turned driving instructor and they are finding it more lucrative thank the bus driving but I guess that is area dependent. As for the 7 hours per day, it does sound like a fair number but is that actual teaching hours or from when you start from the house to when you leave for home? Only because there is a lot of driving between lessons. I reduce this by only doing 1.5 or 2 hour lessons. I try do around 5 to 6 hours per day because believe it or not driving instructing is very tiring mentally. If I did any more than that my concentration would drop and then so would lesson quality along with my reputation

Total drive

I always recommend diesel for high mileage and better mpg. I've got a golf a will never look back. I d have much experience with other cars I'm sorry. Lots of people in the discord recommended ford focus though

@@JoshRamwell the size of a golf for me is acceptable, but is it ok for a student? i don’t want the “big” car to be the reason to lose customers

@@JoshRamwell diesel yes but what about the dpf in mostly city driving conditions?

@@johntyxeros7120 as you say some people do have issues with it and it costs a bomb to fix. Luckily I haven't ever had an issue but then I live in the country a bit. Best join the discord and lots of people will give you there thoughts

Brilliant video's as well

10 petrol per client as well

Plus 3 weeks holiday pay

Hey Stephen thank you. For me it's always going to be self employed. Iove being my own but and it's my business. It's as good as I make it. I'm also in control of how much time I have off. But we you say no pension, no sick etc. You have to do what works for you

Hi Terry, if I'm honest the video is around 2 years old so I'm not going to worry about it to much. But what I can do is a just make a new video using 52 weeks instead of 48. Cheers

@@JoshRamwell 48 weeks is good in terms of fuel, earnings etc as long as people know it’s because you’ve calculated 4 weeks off for holiday etc, but in terms of insurance, car lease etc will be 52 weeks. I’m sure you could put together a decent video that doesn’t get to confusing but explains real world expenses and earnings. There isn’t many videos out there that covers the finances of a driving instructor, although I haven’t looked hard I only recall one other video from a different channel that’s also gone into it.

Hey Tommy thanks for that. That's interesting about the insurance. How did you manage to get driving school insurance at £450 with 0 years no claims? Iregaedinf the grading you are saying it should be every 4 years regardless of grade A or B? That's surprising. How much is it to join driving associations by the way? Thanks Josh

@@JoshRamwell My first insurance policy, even as a PDI was only about £500. Until recently, I even had 2 claims on my policy (not my fault but I still had to claim) I do however have protected no claims on my policy. It really does pay to shop around.

I’m a PDI and pay around £500 a year with Adrian Flux. I have protected NCB too

Adrian Flux on a Corsa was about £500. Moved to a Suzuki Swift Sport and it jumped to almost £1200. I just wanted something more fun to drive between lessons. 😎

Last year I paid £166 because I bought a car. This next year I'm not sure 😆

I know right and yes 47 to go

Yes you are absolutely right apart from the fact I enjoy making useless videos. And saying that, instead of writing this useless comment you could also be doing something useful. 😁🙌
