Driving Instructor Training

Mike Hookham Commence work 1994

I started training with Benson School of Motoring in 1994. I now work part time but still with Benson and after some 14 years, 8 of which I worked full time, I can sincerely say I have never been dissatisfied with either the workload or the company in general.

I joined Benson School of Motoring in April 2000 after working for BSM for some 6 previous years. I have never been happier. The grass is not just greener but absolutely lush, the “other side of the fence”! After working with the other side I can sincerely say Benson School of Motoring are the best! Since 2005 I have taken up partnership with John Benson and now run Benson Motorcycle Training.

John Benson personally trained me and I worked for the company for over 2 years before leaving and starting my own driving school. John and his office staff are very helpful and we both still work very close. For training and for a good company to work for I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Gemma Ellis Commenced work 2005

I started my training with Benson School of Motoring in about March 2005. I am currently still training and started work recently as a provisional licence holder (trainee instructor). The office staff at Benson are very nice and new pupils to teach are supplied as I need them. Being able to book lessons around my free time is excellent and is ideal for me as a busy mum. Together with the training supplied by their staff instructor, Ray Wallace, I cannot fault them.

After I suffered an industrial accident whilst employed by British Telecom and being unable to carry on within that profession I looked into becoming a driving instructor. I initially started my training with Lets Drive but it became evident that the training and work was not as I had expected. Since joining Benson and both training and working for them, I can genuinely recommend them to anyone. I regularly teach in excess of 50 hours each week and am proud to be associated with Benson School of Motoring.

I worked for BSM for a short while before joining Benson. I was not happy with my workload at BSM but was always seeing Benson cars around. I met John Benson after one of his instructors at a test centre gave me a business card. I have never looked back! I am always busy and regularly top 50 hours per week. My car is changed on a regular basis and over the last 10 years or so I have never had reason to complain.

I started training with Benson School of Motoring in 2000. The Instructor College had started my training and I came to the company needing training to pass my part three test. I started work as a trainee instructor and found the benefit of “learning while earning” an excellent method. I have had 5 very happy and profitable years with John Benson, his company and his wonderful staff and I am only leaving my franchise position following my mothers recent death. “I shall return”.
