JOIN 6-POINT DRIVING SCHOOL FRANCHISE

Managing a driving school can be hard work. Keeping current with the latest training, marketing, and websites, and answering phone calls can be challenging. However, you could manage all of those needs by joining the 6 Point driving school franchise. We will take care of all this for you. You need to be earning before you begin paying a franchise.

Therefore your franchise will not start until 4 weeks after we have given you enough pupils. We are very busy in the areas we cover, but if it is outside of our site, then give us 2 weeks’ notice, and we will give you enough pupils by that time. We offer 4 weeks of franchise per year with no contract restriction, so you can leave anytime.

This is the first of 3 tests you have to pass to qualify as an ADI. It’s a theory test.

There are 2 parts to the test:

  1. multiple-choice questions (You have 1 hour and 30 minutes to answer 100 multiple-choice questions) How the test works:

A question and several possible answers appear on a screen. You have to select the right answer.

  1. Hazard perception test

Before you start the hazard perception test, you’ll be shown a video about how it works.

You’ll then watch 14 video clips. The clips:

  • feature everyday road scenes
  • contain at least one ‘developing hazard’ – but one of the clips features 2 developing hazards

You get points for spotting the developing hazards as soon as they start to happen.
