Do you want to join our team? Have a look at our Driving School Franchise

Class Driving School is very excited to be able to offer the opportunity to join us as a Franchisee. We welcome like minded ADI's to join and represent Class Driving Driving school. You can join us as an ADI or PDI. 

We are offering a Headboard Franchise, this means that you will be providing your own vehicle, either bought, leased or hired. You will still benefit from all the services normally provided on a full franchise. Many instructors prefer this method as they may be joining from another driving school or they may have been trading under their own name so in many cases, they have already sourced their own vehicle.

If you are looking for a professional straightforward franchise then our Franchise may be suited for you. For more information please feel free to get in contact to discuss in more detail.

The Class Driving School Franchise has a monthly cost of £200.00

Yes, the data indicates driving instructor numbers are currently in decline while the demand is projected to increase due to a high number of children born in the early 2000's. Here is the data to support this:

Driving Instructor Numbers 2013-2023

Data source: Department for Transport

· Number of instructors in 2013: 44,569

· Number of instructors in June 2023: 39,789

This has been a 12% drop in driving instructor numbers between 2013 and early 2020, dropping from over 44,500 to under 40,000.

Learners and Exam Numbers 2020 Onwards

At the same time, according to insurance experts Marmalade, there has been a boom in births in 2003, up from 30,000 to 100,000. This means that in 2020, 70,000 additional potential drivers came of age for lessons. This coincided with the COVID-19 epidemic, when driving examination centres closed for health reasons. In 2022, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) official statistics show that 1.67 million driving tests were taken during 2022. 

This set of circumstances has created a backlog of demand for driving lessons and driving tests.  

 Taking a Class Driving School franchise means that you can earn on average around £40,000 to £80,000 gross per year whilst being your own boss depending on the amount of hours worked.

According to the DVSA, a learner driver requires an average of 47 hours of professional teaching plus 20 hours of private teaching before obtaining their licence.

To fill your diary there is a balance to strike between price and being fully booked. Class Driving School sets competitive lesson prices to fill your diary quickly and keep it full. Take a look at your earnings potential as a Class Driving School Instructor in the table below:
