Why be a franchisee instructor with BubbLe

What BubbLe offers, that other companies don't?

Making the decision to train to become a instructor is a big decision, that not many undertake lightly, and those who do become a instructor wish they had done it years ago instead of sticking to their 9-5 Monday-Friday job with a low wage, and have job satisfaction.
Ninety five percent of all large driving schools work on franchise. This means you drive a car with the company's graphics on it and in return that driving school markets the business and generates work. Some company's charge instructors for clients others don't, and some have very limited resources to help you, or don't care.

We DON'T!
Being a member of the team, yes, you heard us team! You can have access to vast amount resource tools:
  • Online real-time diary update that's linked directly to the office
  • Prepayments for all first time customers and securing that first lesson wage for yourself
  • Access communication with all our other BubbLe instructors
  • Retraining if needed when doing your standards check (every 2/4years)
  • Office assistance 24/7 with any problems you may have
  • Constant support from head office if you need it
We, and just one other driving school in Bristol as far as we are aware, are the only driving school's to take prepayments.
What is prepayment??? I hear you ask. For all first time clients, whether its learner pupils, motorway lessons, or refresher lessons, must prepay for their first lesson on the initial booking. This is to secure their slot with yourself, and demonstrates a level of commitment to you the instructor.

So, why do we do this? Over the years a lot of people have booked in a lesson, some genuinely wanted to learn others didn't, but some pupil's weren't showing up(NO SHOW'S) and our instructors lost money. Now, we operate a 48hrs notice of cancellation of lesson booked, inside this time frame the client can be charged at the instructors decision. 

This is why we take pre-payment, to eliminate this problem. In the 14months we have done this the number is barely 1 in 50 clients who dont show. And yes you can still claim the invoice for the booking at your discretion.

So what else does BubbLe Driving School offer me? Well, we even have perks too.
  • Bonuses
  • Career progression
  • 2 weeks franchisee free annually
  • Earning additional franchise free weeks by getting another instructor to join our rapidly growing team or a friend to train to be a instructor
  • Be part of a team with encouragement and support
  • Amazing job satisfaction
As a business we go beyond what most company's do. We have social gatherings bi-monthly at a pub or bowling alley, so we can talk to everyone, update everyone with changes, additions or improvements to the business. We also encourage any new ideals that you have to improve the driving school. You have the chance too personally approach us and talk about any concerns, worries you may have. We are a family based business and our outlook is, we treat our amazing team of instructors as a family, If our instructors are happy them our pupils will be happy, therefore it makes us succeed in providing a fun, professional, quality service .

We have team training, and this isn't classroom stuff this is team building exercises that are fun to say the least. This allows you to let your professional hair down. Being a instructor doesn't mean you cant have fun with the team after hours at gatherings.

Some of our socials involve summer BBQ's, Christmas meals with all the team, go karting, off roading, skid pan control, and more that we do every few months, if you are inclined to do so.

Being part of the Business, you have the opportunities to earn a better wage, to have fun, to have a steady and sometimes over bearing supply of clients, you pick and choose your hours and days you want to work, and we will work with you.

The sky is the limit, and being a ADI, their will always be someone who needs to learn to drive.

Having a franchise with BubbLe, you dont have to spend additional time ringing new customers to book them in, or listen to your voicemails or spend a few hours week in your private time managing your diary.

 Waiting lists??? No problem! We handle it all, all you need to do is teach the clients and put their booking in the online diary which only takes a few seconds. 

Being a driving instructor is a rewarding satisfying job that can work around you and your personal life. Those that have been trained by BubbLe have never regretted it.
