Instructor Franchise
Join The Driver Academy franchise for a steady flow of local pupils, real back-office support, and none of the guesswork of running a driving school alone.
Why Franchise With Us
Enquiries generated through the academy's marketing are allocated to franchisees by area — no need to build a client base from zero.
Booking, rescheduling, and payment collection handled centrally, so lesson time stays lesson time.
Signage, branded car livery guidance, lesson record templates, and a recognised local name behind you.
Guidance ahead of DVSA standards checks, plus ongoing coaching to keep your grade — and your pupil results — strong.
Cover the areas that work for you across South Edinburgh, with routes and diary built around your availability.
Franchisees share routes, test-day tips, and mock test standards rather than quietly competing for the same pupils.
Franchise Package
Fixed weekly fee — you keep 100% of your lesson income
We train new instructors from a standing start through to their ADI qualification, with a guaranteed place in the franchise once they're through.
