FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

With so many companies offering training to become a driving instructor, it can be difficult deciding who to train with. To help dispel some of the misinformation that is around, here are a few of the most frequently asked questions that we hear.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO QUALIFY?

You may come across a great deal of confusing information regarding this question. The RSA are responsible for organising and carrying out ADI examinations. The application and administrative process means that normally it would be impossible to qualify in less than six months, however because of the unique situation in the Republic, we can have you up and running and working with us in two or three weeks (this will not apply after August 1st 2009) after that it could take up to 6 months to become an instructor

WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL?

At Quantum we are confident that following your individually structured training programme you will have the very best chance of passing the qualifying exam. However, should you fail any part of the exam we will provide you with complimentary additional training to ensure that you pass on the next attempt.

AM I TIED INTO THE DRIVING SCHOOL?

No. Whilst most people who train with us go on to join Quantum, you are under no obligation. Once qualified, if you wish to go your own way you are free to do so. This is not the case with all training providers. With some schools you are committed to remain with them and pay their fees for up to two or three years whether they provide you with sufficient work or not!

CAN I WORK PART TIME WITH Quantum?

Yes. Unlike most driving schools that have high fixed franchise fees, Quantum operates a more flexible low cost franchise that allows you to structure your business in the way that suits you whilst at the same time providing a fair income for the lessons carried out.

DO I GET A CHOICE OF CAR?

Yes. Most major driving schools dictate the car you will drive. However, with Quantum, you can drive a car of your own choice. This is another example of the flexibility instructors enjoy with Quantum.
