Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We’re really sorry to hear you feel like our RED Driving Instructor Training course doesn’t represent value for money. With access to up to 76 hours of in car 1:1 training, this training alone represents value in excess of £3,000 were you to attempt to replicate it with an independent trainer. That’s even before considering the wider value as a result of choosing RED in light of us being the UK’s largest driving instructor training provider. No other provider offers more resources, expertise or state-of-the-art training materials than RED.
It sounds like there’s been some confusion regarding the business fees. A recent independent financial review found RED Driving Instructors are working on average 30 hours per week, attaining an average net hourly rate of £32.52 meaning RED Driving Instructors have average gross earnings of £975 per week, which is £32,000 – £33,250 net annualised income after business costs have been deducted (depending on franchise options chosen). This takes into account the weekly fees you describe.
We strongly believe in providing real reviews from real trainees. That’s why we have 1,092 Feefo reviews from RED trainees, including yours. We really value your feedback.
Our records indicate you are currently being supported by our Training and Franchise specialist teams.
We wish you every success on your journey to becoming qualified.
