The Benefits of Becoming a Driving Instructor
Be Your Own Boss & Answer Only To Yourself
The biggest joy for most people is not having somebody else telling you what to do, judging your work and generally bossing you around! When you're a driving instructor, you are the boss!
Job Satisfaction From Being A Real Expert Driver
Studies have shown that people are happier in their work when they have the freedom to develop mastery of a skill. As a driving instructor you will develop deep knowledge and mastery of driving.
Freedom To Work Exactly The Hours That You Want
As a driving instructor, you choose how many hours you want to work and how many days off you'd like to take. We have instructors who have enjoyed long dream holidays they could never have taken when working in their old jobs.
How Training Works...
Theory Test
This is a 90 minute classroom style test, similar to the normal driving theory test. There are 100 multiple choice questions and 14 videos with potential hazards for you to spot.
Test of Instructional Ability
This is the final stage. An examiner joins you in the car while you teach. To pass, you will demonstrate that you are a patient, safe and effective driving instructor.
Trainee Licence
After passing parts 1 and 2, you can opt to get a trainee licence. With this you can legally charge for driving lessons before you're fully qualified.
Driving Ability Test
Very similar to the normal driving test, but to a higher standard. The test includes a wide range of road types and traffic conditions.
Why Train With RARA Driving School?
Train Weekends & Evenings
At RARA Driving, we fit the training around your life and so you can train you at any reasonable time. This includes Saturday, Sunday and evenings too.
Home Pick-Up & Drop-Off
The training is all tailored to you. Your instructor will pick you up from home, or wherever you would like, and your lessons will be around that area.
You Train Behind The Wheel
We believe that great instructors learn hands-on the steering wheel. No computer simulation compares to real world driving.
Pay In 2 Equal Instalments
Pay as you learn options make it easily affordable, as you can spread the cost of your training.
Additional Training If You Fail
We have several courses, giving you options to get additional lessons until you pass.
Online Theory Training
The first test is theory, so we'll guide you for immediate access to online theory training portal.
We Care More.
It sounds a bit clichéd, but we do care more. We started as a family business and we've never changed hands. During the pandemic, we helped our franchisees to survive by simply not charging them.
You Earn More.
Our centralised marketing provides you with as many pupils as you want. The pupils all pre-pay. Franchisees earn at least £44,000 so you'll be in good company.
We'll Organise Your Car
After passing parts 1 and 2, you can opt to get a trainee licence. With this you can legally charge for driving lessons before you're fully qualified.
We're Stronger & Safer.
We are a strong business and so you're safer with us. We have been around since the 2011s and we've never changed hands and never gone bust. We look after you better.

Our Driving Instructor Franchise
At RARA Driving School, we do things differently.
We are not focused on becoming the biggest driving school in the UK. Our goal is to become one of the most respected, professional, and efficient driving school networks in the country — built around quality instructors, strong local demand, and long-term success.
Unlike many national driving school franchises that prioritise quantity over quality, we carefully grow in the right locations with the right instructors. We believe a smaller network of committed, honourable, and well-supported instructors will always outperform a large organisation built purely around aggressive expansion.
Over the years, many large driving schools have risen quickly — and disappeared just as fast — because greed became more important than instructor support and service quality. At RARA, we believe honesty, stability, reputation, and long-term relationships matter far more than simply recruiting as many instructors as possible.
That’s why we are transparent from the very beginning.
If we genuinely believe we can provide you with strong local demand and consistent work, we will tell you honestly. If we feel your area may not currently be suitable, we will also tell you before you commit. That level of honesty is rare within the driving school industry — but it is one of the reasons instructors stay with us.
Our franchise model is designed to give instructors confidence, flexibility, and real support:
- Fair and straightforward agreement structure
- Only 4 weeks’ notice required after your contracted period
- Full-time office support team to help manage bookings and enquiries
- Ongoing support and guidance throughout your journey with us
- Family-run environment that genuinely values instructors as people — not numbers
- Strong focus on quality pupils, local visibility, and sustainable workloads
We are proud that 9 out of 10 instructors who trial RARA choose to stay and join permanently afterwards. That speaks volumes about the level of support, professionalism, and opportunity we provide.
Today, RARA Driving School continues to expand strategically across major towns and cities including Watford, Croydon, Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford, Slough, High Wycombe, and Luton, with continued growth across many other areas throughout the UK.
If we are not yet fully established in your area, we can usually prepare within 1–2 weeks by building local visibility across Google and other leading search platforms — helping you hit the ground running from day one.
Join a driving school franchise built on reputation, honesty, professionalism, and long-term success — not corporate greed.

Turn Your Car Into a 24/7 Marketing Machine
At RARA Driving School, we believe your tuition car shouldn’t just teach — it should also advertise! Our professionally designed car lettering and vinyl wraps transform your vehicle into a powerful mobile billboard. Whether you’re on lessons or simply parked, your car promotes your brand day and night, helping you attract new pupils effortlessly. High-quality signage is not just an accessory — it’s a must-have marketing tool in today’s competitive driving tuition market.
Join a driving instructor franchise that can provide you with 10-15 new pupils in just 2 weeks.
RARA 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.
ADI or PDI Franchise Opportunities
At RARA Driving School, transparency comes as standard.

Our focus is simple: provide elite support, quality pupils, and a respectful partnership that helps instructors grow with confidence.

Once you’ve completed your chosen contract term, you can leave anytime with just 4 weeks’ notice — no penalties, no pressure.
