As an 1st Time Pass instructor, you make the decisions.
You choose how and when you want to work.
You can even control your franchise fee – the more pupils you find for yourself, the lower your fees will be.
We'll be your supporting network. We'll give you all the kudos and respect of the 1st Time Pass brand – and help you handle every one of your major business expenses.
Your car
You'll have a new air-conditioned car, replaced every six or twelve months,road tax and breakdown cover paid. All your car maintenance and servicing costs are covered, and we'll deliver a replacement vehicle to your door within 24 hours if you need one.
Air conditioned with power-assisted steering, it's easy to control and manoeuvre and has a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating (Euro NCAP tests, 2005), making it the safest car in its class for occupant safety.
You can choose to have a diesel or automatic.
Choice of car
Unlike any other driving school, car options with 1st Time Pass are extremely flexible. You can rent a driving school car from us or use your own car (if suitable) - the choice is yours, thus you can be assured of keeping your car costs to a minimum. so the savings you make on a new car alone could more than pay for the cost of your training. Also unique to 1st Time Pass is the option to choose the type of car you want to drive, the most popular one currently being the Vauxhall Corsa and the 207 because of their suitability, reliability and low purchase and running costs.
Any car that you do obtain will have your own contact details incorporated into the standard 1st Time Pass car delivery to help you generate more of your own pupils.
