As a school owner, I have had many requests from learner drivers mainly those seeking cheap driving lessons who try to find a way of affording learning to drive.
This week however I got a new one, someone called up my driving school and wanted to pay for their lessons on a monthly basis, which I thought ok, we can work something out, so I asked how many lessons he would like to do on a weekly basis as this would determine the monthly cost, agreeing on 2, I gave him the monthly figure which he was happy with, and said he would like to start in a week but is it ok if payment was taken a month in arrears?
Now I know there ia a credit crunch, but I don't know why people would think that instructors are so desperate for work that they would throw common business sense out of the window?
I am happy for learners to pay for their driving lessons on a monthly basis, but it has to be in advance. Just like block bookings where a discount is offered for paying in advance, you need to verify your instructor is legal, otherwise pay for services as they are rendered.

Driving Instructor London Olympics 2012
I'm sure I am not the only one who got an email from a company called Peak Performance who are looking for driving instructors to train volunteers for the summer London Olympics 2012.
They probably got my details from the DSA, as they need about 250 ADIs to train over 10,500 driver volunteers who will be helping to host the largest sporting event being held in London this decade!
I don't think I will be getting involved with the training as an instructor, but if you would like some extra income between 13th April – 27th May 2012, then you should get in touch with them.
In the meantime i'm looking forward to the olympics in London, luckly I shouldn't have much disruption the side of London that I live in, and should still be able to conduct my driving school business as normal.
