There are many reasons people consider becoming a driving instructor, they can drive well, they like driving, they think most people drive poorly, they can earn lots of money.

There's lots more to becoming a driving instructor, it's not about driving, it's not about telling someone how to do something and when to do it.

Becoming a driving instructor is about facilitating a learner, helping them understand what could kill them or save them. Allowing them to discover what works and what doesn't in a safe environment.

It's not a job to enter for the money, it's not a job to enter of you like driving, it's not a job to enter because you've been made redundant.

It's an extremely rewarding role, but it's not easy, it can be stressful, it can be hard, it can be life threatening.

Don't just think anyone can be a driving instructor, as it takes someone special to be able to do the job well.

My book goes through the process about what is required of you from the first thought of becoming a driving instructor, to actually being a driving instructor.

So if this is something you're considering, buy my book, get in touch with some local trainers and ask if you can sit in on some lessons, to ensure it's the job for you.

If you purchase my book it has lots of information about becoming a driving instructor, being a driving instructor, and the other job roles that are available if you qualify.

Good luck, and feel free to message me.

Dare 2 Do It: Be A Driving Instructor

The reason I wrote my book was because when I trained to become a driving instructor there were very few books available that provided the information I felt I needed.

I began writing it back in 2018 (though I originally started it in 2016, but lost everything I wrote due to a computer giving up the ghost). It took 8 years to complete as things within the industry have changed considerably and I have learned so much through the various roles I have held and courses I have taken.

I am interested in feedback from my book, so if you have purchased it and it has helped in any way (or not), then please get in touch and let me know.

Thank you ☺️

🚗❤️ A Dream, A Journey, A Book… ❤️🚗

There were times during my journey to becoming a driving instructor that I honestly wondered if I would ever get there.

When I finally qualified as an ADI, I realised this profession is about so much more than teaching someone to drive. It’s about helping people gain confidence, independence, freedom and belief in themselves.

Now it’s my intention to “encourage others through fear, apprehension and uncertainty so that they build confidence, transform their lives, and become the individual they should truly be”.

That belief became the foundation not only for the way I teach, coach and support people — but also the reason I wrote this book.

📘 DARE 2 DO IT – Be a Driving Instructor

This book is everything I wish I’d had when I started.

It’s honest.
It’s practical.
It’s supportive.
And it comes from real experience.

Inside are the lessons I’ve learned through the ups and downs of training, qualifying, teaching, coaching and continuing to grow within this profession that I genuinely love.

I wanted this book to do more than simply help people pass tests. I wanted it to encourage, reassure and guide those who may be doubting themselves because I know exactly what that feels like.

To everyone who has supported me through this journey — my family, friends, pupils, fellow instructors and those who believed in me when I doubted myself — thank you ❤️

And to anyone currently training, struggling, doubting themselves or thinking about taking the leap…

You can do this.

Becoming a driving instructor isn’t easy — but for the right person, it can become one of the most rewarding careers imaginable.

📖 DARE 2 DO IT – Be a Driving Instructor is now published on Amazon.

Well it's definitely been an eventful week for Stephen who borrowed my car to take his part 3 this morning. Stephen Baker has worked really hard this past year and has developed his skills to achieve a fantastic 39 out of 51. As you can see his daughter Chloe who accompanied him was in a bit of shock after receiving the great news ( nothing to do with the sun being in her eyes, honest 😉).
Massive congratulations, Stephen and well done Chloe on being his star pupil.

Another great reference for Bobbie Sheldon

Hi. My name is Patti and Bobbie was my driving instructor from Oct 2025 to 20th of April 2026. I passed my test that day first time and I can't thank her enough for being such a great instructor. From the very first lesson I felt relaxed and she filled me with confidence and self belief. I highly recommend Bobbie to any future students.
Kind regards
Patti

What a great drive after going in the wrong direction twice, keeping her cool and passing her test on the first attempt with just 4 driving faults. A great result Geeta, well done. Geeta was a student of Bobbie Sheldon, who has been a great asset to DARE2DRIVE.

A message from Magda.

I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher than Bobbie Sheldon. She is incredibly patient, calm, and supportive, which made every lesson feel comfortable and stress‑free. What I appreciated most was the way she explained everything — not just what to do, but why it matters. Her explanations were clear, detailed, and easy to understand, and she never rushed me, even when I needed extra time to grasp something. Bobbie has a real gift for teaching. She builds confidence naturally, corrects mistakes with kindness, and celebrates progress in a way that keeps you motivated. Thanks to her, I went from feeling nervous behind the wheel to genuinely enjoying driving. If you’re looking for an instructor who is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your success, I can’t recommend Bobbie enough. She’s simply brilliant.

Now Bobbie Sheldon is a fully qualified driving instructor, she's still on a role with her learners upgrading their licences to fully qualified drivers.

Well done to Magda, passing with just 3 driving faults. Brilliant work.

Not only a proud moment for Bobbie Sheldon, but one for us here at DARE2DRIVE too. 🥰
