Becoming a Driving Instructor

[marksroomspain]

Well here goes at starting my new career as a driving instructor.

After holding my driving licence for 2 and a half years on November 1st I can finally start my training to become an ADI.

With a job offer already on the cards and a minimum 2 year contract with a good friend of mine who owns a highly established driving school things are looking even better.

Best thing is I dont have to worry about showing a years worth of accounts for my wifes ILR as she earns over the threshold herself...

Well, good luck with it.

(Personally, I don't have the temperament. The first pupil would probably be dropped off back at their front door after 10 minutes. )

Well, Mark ... if you're as good at that as you are at helping new members with their visa enquiries, then I'm sure you will make an excellent driving instructor. Therefore, it gives me much pleasure
in wishing you all the very BEST in your new career.

No Steve she's a newbie, and she was gonna start her lessons with my previous instructor next year but told her to hang fire so can teach her myself,well one thing the saving I will have doing that pays for my instructors course...

But I just hope I can be tough with her when she makes those mistakes......

I well remember when I was teaching my 1st wife to drive in the 1970s, She was an English woman with a bit of a temper, it was hell, she did not like me telling her when she was going wrong!

I hope things go better for you.
Mick.
