What is the difference between a driving instructor and a driving school manager?
As a driving instructor you teach: you give theory and practical lessons and evaluate candidates. A driving school manager runs the school: coordinating the team, managing the budget, promoting courses and leading the organisation. Many managers started out as instructors and grew into the role.
Is there strong demand for a driving instructor in Flanders?
Yes, driving schools operate in every region of Flanders and new candidates keep coming in. There is also clear demand for instructors for trucks and buses, partly because of the shortage of professional drivers. Instructors who are flexible with evening and weekend lessons are especially sought after.
What qualifications do you need to become a driving instructor?
You do not need a higher education diploma, but you do need a legally required instructor certificate, a driving licence for the category you teach and several years of driving experience. A clean driving record and a certificate of good conduct are also expected. The pedagogical side you develop through the certification track and on the job.
