AFTER CARE
After you have qualified we will help you build up your business.
With over 30 years experience we are confident that we can do this.
However, there are some areas that are oversubscribed with driving instructors
and if we feel you are in one of them we will tell you from the start.
On the RSA website it warns you of this, and advises you to research your area.
It is also true that there also many instructors that are not well trained or
have recieved no training at all, and no amount of time will help them.
After training with us you will be well trained and with an advantage over them.
You will need good marketing strategies which we can provide you with.
All in all we are sure that we can you build a new and successful career,
give us a call to start the ball rolling.
