7 Points to Keep in Mind When Selecting a Driving Instructor
Imagine not having to rely on your family or friends or an uber to travel from one place to another. Imagine being able to go anywhere, anytime you want in your car. Sounds cool right? Learning to drive gives you a sense of independence bar none. It is perfectly normal to feel anxious at the start of your driving journey but a good driving instructor can help you overcome and become a pro driver in no time.
With the right driving instructor, you will not only be able to get a driving licence quickly but you will also become a confident and safe driver with plenty of road awareness. We don’t want you to waste your precious time and money on the wrong person. Therefore, we will help you choose the best driving instructor that meets all your requirements. Here are seven tips to remember when choosing an instructor.
- Verification to work with children
Anyone above the age of 16 can get a driving licence in Australia. This is why you need to verify if the driving instructor is authorised to work with children. This will ensure that your kid is in safe hands.
- Skills and industry experience
We all need a driving instructor who is knowledgeable and confident. This lets them pass on important skills, tips and tricks on how to drive safely with ease. It might be your first time learning to drive or you’re simply looking to qualify for an international driving licence – in both circumstances, you want an experienced driving instructor by your side. We suggest you research thoroughly to ensure your preferred instructor is equipped with the necessary skills and industry experience.
- Driving techniques
You can’t become the best driver by just following the rule book. You will have to learn the intricacies of dealing with complex driving situations. An experienced instructor can provide important cues and tricks when driving. You learn more when taught by a person who has years of experience under their belt. Our experienced driving instructors will share their knowledge about the road and help you anticipate possible risks on the road. You will be able to learn defensive driving techniques and ensure maximum road safety.
- Spoken languages
Driving lessons are much more fun and interactive when taught in a language the student understands very well. English may not work very well for everyone and create language barriers. This is the reason why our driving instructors are well versed in multiple languages. We will ensure that you have the best learning experience in the language that you’re most comfortable with. Our instructors are fluent in languages such as Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Afghani and many more.
- Soft skills
Soft skills are as important as on-road skills. You won’t be able to grasp the lessons if the instructions are not effectively communicated to you. Strong communication skills permit easier and quicker understanding of the lessons. You might be a little stressed and anxious while learning how to drive and the driving instructor must be patient enough to help you get through successfully.
- Choice of vehicle and vehicle safety
Before choosing a driving instructor you need to decide whether you want to learn a manual or automatic transmission vehicle. You need to figure out whether you’re most comfortable with smaller vehicles such as hatchbacks or large SUVs. Our latest dual control vehicles will not only help you be safe but also score high in the safety test of the Australian New Car Assessment Program.
- Learner reviews and ratings
Go through the testimonials of former students and their experience with the instructor. This will help you get an insight into the instructor’s approach to teaching, their strengths and weaknesses, and what you can expect if you choose them. The rating system will help you understand the average rating of any instructor.
