Professional Training & Support

Professional Training & Support I recently completed my driving instructor training with driveJohnson’s and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first call, everything was explained clearly, and the training programme was structured around my needs and availability. The trainers were knowledgeable, patient, and always available when I had questions. What stood out the most was the ongoing support—not just during training, but also after qualifying. I now feel confident starting my career as an instructor, and I’m grateful to driveJohnson’s for making the transition so smooth.

Alan Day Driving Instructor in Manchester

Becoming a driving instructor with driveJohnson’s has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I was looking for a new career with more flexibility and job satisfaction, and this training delivered exactly that. The course was detailed, well-paced, and provided me with all the tools I needed to pass my exams first time. What I really appreciated was the personal encouragement from the trainers—they genuinely cared about my progress. I’m now working full-time as an instructor and finally have a job I love, with the freedom to choose my hours. Highly recommended!

Steve Smith Driving Instructor in Birmingham

I joined driveJohnson’s after hearing great things, and they definitely lived up to their reputation. The training was thorough but never overwhelming, and the instructors explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. They don’t just train you to pass—they prepare you for real-life teaching and building confidence with learners. The support doesn’t stop once you qualify either, which gave me peace of mind knowing I had a strong team behind me. I can honestly say driveJohnson’s helped me turn a career goal into reality.
