Direct Pass Driving is a family run business, ADIs with over 20 years teaching experience in Derby.

We are currently turning away driving enquiries in Derby every week because we do not have the instructors to cover them.

A reduced fee for your first two weeks, so you can see the pupil flow for yourself before committing.

What we are not

  • We are not a national franchise. We are one independent Derby school.
  • We are not taking on dozens of instructors. We want two or three, so each one gets a proper flow of pupils.
  • We are not asking you to give up your own pupils. Keep them, and keep advertising yourself.
  • There is no long tie-in. It is a one-page agreement with short notice either way.

The teaching standard you would be joining

“I highly recommend Saima. She is calm and patient and allowed me to learn at my own pace, whilst supporting me and helping to build my confidence. Her teaching style is very effective - explaining why we must do things in a certain way, and always giving honest feedback at the end of each lesson.”

Common Questions

What if the pupils dry up?

We only bring on instructors when we already have more pupil enquiries than we can place ourselves. You're stepping into existing demand, not starting from zero.

Can I keep my existing pupils?

Yes. Franchising with us doesn't mean giving up pupils you already teach. You keep your existing book and we add our leads on top.

What are the terms?

A simple one page written agreement, short notice either way, no long tie-in. We will go through it properly before you commit to anything.

Do I need my own car and insurance?

Yes, your own dual-control vehicle and instructor insurance. Happy to point you to providers we work with.

Can I still advertise myself?

Yes, you're free to keep building your own name alongside ours.
