What you can earn
When you start work it will be as a Franchised Driving Instructor within Benson School of Motoring. You will pay to the Company a flat weekly fee 50 weeks of the year (you may take as many weeks holiday as you wish but two weeks are franchise fee free)
If you decide to have a company owned tuition vehicle you will usually receive a period of free weekly fees to enable you to build up your new position without payments to the company. When you eventually commence payments you shall pay just £25 from the first week and thereafter the fee shall increase by a further £25 per week until you are paying your full fee which, depending whether you are part or full time, will be from as little as £75 (part time) but usually about £220 per week (full time).
If you decide to purchase your own tuition vehicle your weekly payments to the company shall be less to enable you to meet the purchase costs of the vehicle. The advantages of owning your own car are extra tax relief benefits and of course you shall own an asset which can be sold or traded on later.
Company supplied tuition vehicles are mainly Peugeot 206, 1.4 turbo diesel.
Whilst the company pays for all normal running costs, you will be responsible for the fuel costs. The use of the car is for personal use too.
Your earnings are from the lesson fees you charge. Our hourly rate varies in different areas. Our hourly rate is charged at between £21.50 and £23.50 per hour.
Some lesson fees are discounted by £1 per hour for pre-paid fees etc. We also charge just £25 to pupils for the first lesson as the concession we make for most new pupils.
Examples of earnings (using company owned car)
Part-time
20 hours at £20 per hour = £430
Minus weekly fee at £170 and fuel at about £1.50 per hour of tuition = Gross £230
Full-time
40 hours at £21.50 per hour = £860
Minus weekly fee £215 and fuel at about £1.50 per hour of tuition = Gross £585
This is at the lower rate of £21.50 per hour and calculated at just 20 and 40 hours. Obviously the higher rates will mean more income as will the more hours you work. (Some fees may vary.)
