Introduction

The idea of i-Course Driving is to help you to start thinking like a driving instructor. Or perhaps we should say, to thinking like a PROFESSIONAL driving instructor.

True professionalism is your key to success - something that many instructors never quite master. If you want proof, just take a look around at some of your future business competitors!

Many driving school cars are dirty, the instructors are scruffy, the telephone response to lesson enquiries is often sloppy and unprofessional;perhaps with kids answering the phone and then calling for 'Dad!'

Of course, there are good and bad practitioners in every area of business, however, remember that the successful businesses are those that pay attention to detail. In order to achieve success, the starting point for attention to detail is your own attitude and approach to driving and the way that you look after your vehicle (regardless of how old and beaten up it might be!).

Completing all the question sheets and all the projects (including car-care!) in iCourse Driving will greatly enhance your chances of passing Part-Two and Part-Three first time, from a course point-of-view it is also essential to comply with any guarantees. Perhaps more important still is that the information will help you do a better job with your future pupils - leading to a more secure business and income.
