Our driving instructor franchise
Join a driving instructor franchise that can provide you with 10-15 new pupils in just 2 weeks.
driveJohnson’s driving school is a company with a very different ethos to the other national driving schools. Our goal isn’t to accumulate as many instructors as possible, nor is it to train as many as we can. Our goal is to be the most efficient – meaning having the right amount of good and honourable instructors in the correct locations where we have high demand for lessons.
If you have been doing this a while, you’ve probably seen many large establishments rise and fall as a result of greed. With just 4 weeks notice to walk away from our franchise, you can trust we are good for the work and, if we can’t help you, guess what? We will be honest with you at the beginning – how’s that for a change?
We provide ongoing support throughout the franchise process, with a full-time office team available to help you manage and maintain your bookings.
9/10 instructors who trial our driving school franchise finish the trial and happily join afterwards. Join a family run driving school that genuinely cares about your personal needs, progression and career.
We cover most areas across the UK now, but if you are outside of the areas we cover, we usually require 1 to 2 weeks’ notice to prepare. This allows us time to build up a presence on Google and other leading search engines so that you can hit the ground running.
Don’t sign your life away
We are probably the only national driving school franchise in the UK who won’t sentence you to 1 or 2 years of financial torture if for whatever reasons we don’t get you enough pupils when you want them. Every driving school will promise you the world right now but how good will they been during uncertain times which will inevitably come in 2024.
The applications for trainee licences have increased by 70% in 2022. The competition for work is going to be tougher in 2024.
Choose the company you want to work with wisely. I’m a fellow instructor, made from the same cloth as you. I fully understand that if you’re not working, you’re not earning. I don’t think the sales guys at these other national schools understand that.
You will have my mobile number immediately when you join us, plus the support from our fantastic office team by phone, app and email.

Other perks to joining the team…
Expert advice is always available at driveJohnson’s. Here’s an insight into what we offer:
- Got a standards check coming up? Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with top-level training and support. We have an ex-DSVA enforcement officer who is the head of our training and works closely with Anthony Johnson, a Grade A 51/51 ORDIT trainer. We also have a master trainer, plus our local instructor trainers who are carefully selected and receive regular training to pass on to our instructors.
- We offer rescue training for those ADIs or PDIs who have failed their first attempt. If you’re a driveJohnson’s instructor, call Anthony and we will get you through and over the line. Nobody who has called on Anthony’s help has been taken off the register!
We take it personally if you fail – You are more than just a number with us. - We offer free courses throughout the year to support your continued professional development.
- Receive FREE access to our training zone once you have joined us. Here, you can watch videos, read and download training documents, sign up for Zoom training sessions and more!
- We have Apps to help you teach your learners to drive. These can be downloaded via the Google Play Store and App Store.
We have a straightforward philosophy in the accounts department; Pay our lovely instructors quickly! Many large establishments only pay their instructors once every two weeks. This can also cause cash flow problems for many instructors. It also becomes confusing when a bulk payment is made for several pupils.
We will pay any lesson payments you claim into your account within 24 hours, Monday to Friday. Nice and simple.
You can communicate with the office team in many different ways; Call our instructor helpline, call a senior manager’s mobile or message us through the Instructor App.
We even welcome popping into the office if you are driving past.
We tell you this as many large and small companies outsource their calls to third parties to reduce costs or want all communication by email.
We have a Facebook group for our instructors, Christmas parties, social gatherings and more. If you want a low franchise with maximum benefits, join the driveJohnson’s family today. You won’t leave because of a lack of pupils or love!

No sign writing plastered all over your car
At driveJohnson’s, we know many instructors don’t want to be told they have to drive around/teach with deals splashed all over their car. We understand when you’re not working, you want to switch off or may not want to turn up to personal events promoting us. All we ask is that you use our roof sign provided when you’re teaching your pupils.
We’re good for the work
80% of our new instructors have been referred to us by existing driveJohnson’s instructors. We have never lost an instructor to a local or national driving school competitor. See some of our instructor testimonials:
Keep up the great work Anthony and team and thank you for all your help and support so far ???
