BEWARE SOME DRIVING SCHOOLS USE TRAINEE INSTRUCTORS!
At MC Driving School you are guaranteed to learn with a fully qualified driving instructor since 2003. While many other driving schools have instructors training "On-The-Job", the Green badge in the windscreen shows the instructor is fully qualified.
What is the difference between a trainee and a fully qualified instructor?
There are some big differences between a trainee and a fully qualified instructor.
Trainee instructors:
Have not yet passed the exam which tests them on their ability to teach learner drivers. the Pink badge in the windscreen shows the instructor is a Trainee.
Have a temporary six month licence to teach which means they could stop teaching you half way through your lessons. They only have 6 months in which they have 3 attempts to pass the final exam.
May fail their final exam three times which then means they can no longer teach you to drive so you will be forced into finding a new instructor.
May only have done 4-6 months training compared to the 12-18 months a fully qualified instructor goes through.
