Having a badge in their window is a legal requirement for all instructors.

Look for an instructor that has positive reviews. You can look for these on most social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. You need to look for social proof before choosing your instructor.
How can I learn to drive faster?

Why do some driving instructors cost more?
This is cost vs quality. Do not compromise the quality of the driving instructor for cheaper costs. Driving lessons are an investment so finding a good instructor over getting the cheapest instructor is crucial. A good instructor could cut the number of lessons you require down dramatically compared to a bad one. This will help prepare you for driving on your own, not just passing your lesson in the shortest possible time.
How long should i prepare to do my driving lessons?
The average person requires 44 hours with a driving instructor to pass their driving test. Everyone is different however so it may take you less or more time and that is okay. Driving is a life investment and requires lots of time and effort. Starting the process is the hardest part, as you get used to driving and your lessons it becomes easier and easier.
What happens if you do not like your instructor?
Choose an instructor and car that makes you feel comfortable and confident. That will not be all instructors or cars. Sometimes you may just not like your instructor or the car and that is okay. Do not be afraid to try a lesson or two with a few instructors to find that one that is right for you and suits your needs best.
If you follow these tips you will be well on your way to finding a very good driving instructor who will help you to life long freedom on the roads.
