📚 My Story: Training, Qualifying, and Breaking Free
How I Built My Own Driving School in Under One Year
You didn’t train to be a driving instructor just to be trapped in a franchise maze.
You wanted freedom. Control. Pride in running your own show.
This is the raw, no-filter story of how I went from trainee to fully independent Approved Driving Instructor in under 12 months — without letting a franchise own me.
Inside, I share:
The brutal realities of training and qualifying (the bits no one warns you about).
How I juggled toxic workplaces, poor training, and the pressure to quit.
The exact steps I took to build my own brand while still locked into a franchise.
How I left on my terms — with a full diary, waiting list, and zero fear.
If you’re a PDI, ADI, or thinking about becoming an instructor, this isn’t just a story — it’s proof you can take control, rewrite the rules, and create a business that works for you.
Read it. Learn from it. Use it as fuel to start your own journey to freedom.
