Trainee Driving Instructors Starting Work



Starting Work and the Trainee Licence

IntroductionDriving Instructor / ADI BadgeDriving Instructor Trainee / Pink Licence

The Trainee Licence

Once you have passed the Part 2 exam you will have the option to either start work on what is known as the Trainee Licence or to wait until you have passed the final Part 3 exam. The Trainee Licence, or Pink Licence, is valid for 6 months only and allows you to gain experience with real pupils prior to taking your Part 3 exam.

Advice

Our advice is probably to wait as teaching real pupils can often distract you from the way the Driving Standards Agency are actually looking for you to teach. However, we will be only too glad to discuss this with you.

Status

As an Approved Driving Instructor you will almost certainly be self employed. this has it's benefits:

  • You are you're own boss, you work when and where you like.
  • Tax advantages
  • Flexibility

The down side of things is that you get:

  • No Holiday or Sick Pay
  • No Company Pension

We will help you set up as a Self-Employed Person, we will also put you in direct contact with all of our instructors, whom we hope will give a positive report of what The Big Red L Company has done for them.
