Driving Instructor Training Prices

We are often asked why our training courses are so much cheaper than others, especially for such high-quality training. Well, the answer is simple…

ProScot have low overheads for starters, and no shareholders to keep happy! Driving instructor training is not our core business to make huge sums of money from like many of the large national companies. 82% of the PDI’s they train fail to qualify! They make lots of money from letting PDI’s down who part with thousands of pounds each year. We in contrast select and train up only a small number of quality people each year, to replace those who might retire or leave the industry or ProScot. Over 97% of our PDI’s qualify, another reason we train up so few new instructors each year to join our team.

We look for those PDI’s who have the potential to be great instructors and will hopefully want to join our team. We then provide them with the best training and ongoing support available. We don’t want the costs of training to be a barrier to that. We also don’t look to make money from the instructor training, but rather to cover our costs. Our success as a driving school relies on professional driving instructors joining us and delivering a quality service to back up our promises to our learners.

Our instructors pay a weekly franchise to ProScot for the ongoing support that ensures their success and ProScot’s. This is how we earn our income, from our driving school. Most of our driving instructors stay with ProScot once qualified. With the large national schools, their instructors can’t wait to get out their contracts, they also expand aggressively across all areas of the UK and therefore they must continually train up new instructors.
