Potential Earnings

Quantum instructors who do a normal working week (i.e. 40 lessons per week) and take the average time off for holidays can expect to earn between €35,000 and €50,000 per annum after meeting all business and car expenses, depending upon the level of support they need, the local lesson rate and the type of training being provided. Of course, if you work longer hours, your rewards can be substantially higher.

Whilst pay is very important, the biggest reward comes from knowing that what you are doing is more than just a job - you are doing something that helps enrich people’s lives and adds to their safety and security. The smile from a learner who has just passed the test provides the ultimate in job satisfaction.

The job - how we work together

We provide you with the means to earn money directly from your pupils and you in turn pay us. This method of operating is often referred to as a job franchise. Not all driving schools in the Republic operate in this manner. Typically most charge a large weekly fee of between € 135 and €500 per week is paid depending if they supply a car and pupils or not. This type of set up can potentially leave you out of pocket if insufficient work is provided. However, this doesn't happen with Quantum because of the innovative way in which we work with our instructors.

We only charge a small weekly fee of €40.00 with all other services being optional. This ensures you only pay for what you need and that charges for optional services have to be very competitive to keep your custom. Our main source of income is generated through the provision of pupils to our instructors. In short, we obtain a commission based on the pupil fees we collect on your behalf. Thus you cannot be out of pocket because at the same time we request our commission we provide you with the pupil fees for the work done, a much fairer system.

We also provide you with the means and know-how to generate your own pupils. In this regard we are quite unique. No charges are made for pupils that are self-generated. Therefore, the more pupils you obtain for yourself, the more you earn and the less you pay to us. Within just a few months the majority of our instructors are able to self-generate a large proportion of their own pupils from referrals alone thus avoiding pupil commission charges. This is one of the reasons why we can offer such an incredible value-for-money franchise package and why very few instructors leave once joined.
With regards to the car - the choice is yours. Thus you can be assured of keeping your car costs to a minimum. Quantum offers you the unique option to choose the type of car you want to drive. Any car that you do obtain will have your own contact details incorporated into the standard Quantum roof car livery to help you generate even more of your own pupils and thus reduce your costs still further. No wonder we can claim to offer the highest earnings potential of any Driving School franchise.

An example of potential earnings
Quantum instructors who carry out 40 lessons per week, who take 4 weeks off for holidays per year and who charge our minimum recommended rate of €40 per lesson (lesson prices vary from area to area), can expect to earn the following per week after meeting all business and car expenses:

WEEKLY GROSS INCOME

40 lessons at €40 each €1600

WEEKLY EXPENDITURE

Car / Insurance €188
Fuel €100
Franchise Fee €40
* Pupil Generation Fee €80
Total Expenditure €408
PRE TAX EARNINGS €1192

The above is equivalent to an annual salary of €61,984 plus a car. However, because you are self-employed you will make certain tax savings, which will enable you to keep more of the money you, earn (up to 20% more).

* The pupil generation fees illustrated assume two pupils are required per week, one having weekly lessons and one a block booking of twelve lessons paid in advance. On average, you will need two new pupils per week to maintain a 40 lesson week.

Please note if you were able to get all your own pupils, the pupil generation fee would be zero and, in the above example, your weekly earnings would increase to €1,272 giving you an annual earnings figure of €66,144.

Naturally, in areas where the lesson rate is higher than the above example or the type of training given was valued at a higher rate, potential earnings would correspondingly be much greater. For example the above figure of €61,984 would increase to €72,384 at €45 per lesson, per lesson charged.
