1. Do I have to work full-time?

No. You can work as many or as few hours as you like. Many instructors start part-time and increase their hours as their business grows.

2. Can I choose which days I work?

Yes. You decide your schedule. Whether you prefer weekdays, evenings, or weekends, you are in control.

3. How do I manage my bookings?

Most instructors use digital calendars or booking apps. Some franchises provide scheduling tools, but independent instructors can easily manage their own diaries with free or paid software. At Next Mile Driver Training, you will manage your diary via Outlook and use Calendly to schedule your lessons. 

4. Can I take time off whenever I want?

Absolutely. You are self-employed, so you choose when to take holidays or breaks. Just let your learners know in advance.

5. Is it hard to balance work and family life?

Not at all. This career is designed for flexibility. You can schedule lessons around school runs, family events, or personal commitments.

6. Do I need business skills to succeed?

Basic organisational skills help, but you will learn as you go. Many instructors find managing their own schedule and finances straightforward with modern tools. At Next Mile Driver Training, we will support you as you grow your business where we are able, or sign-post you to helpful resources or connections.
