Become a Driving Instructor
Why Now is the Perfect Time to Start Your Career
The demand for driving lessons is at an all-time high, and it’s only growing. At Podium Driving School, we’re expanding to meet this demand and looking for passionate, hard-working individuals to join our team of driving instructors.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented backlog of over 450,000 driving tests, with thousands of new learners turning 17 every day. This has resulted in a unique opportunity to enter a booming industry where your skills will always be in demand. It hasn't eased since the end of the pandemic either.
