I passed my driving test first time with Chris, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience!I had all of my lessons in Northampton and took my test in Northampton as well. From the very beginning, Chris made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. The lessons were always well-structured, relaxed, and tailored to what I needed to improve. He explained everything clearly, was very patient, and never made me feel rushed or stressed, even when I made mistakes. Each lesson was productive, and I could see my confidence and driving skills improving every week.Just before my test, there was a last-minute issue with the car I was supposed to use. Chris quickly got everything sorted by arranging for me to use another instructor’s car. The instructors work closely together and support each other, so thanks to that teamwork, my test was able to go ahead without any problems.Chris was supportive throughout the whole process and gave me the confidence and skills I needed to pass. Thanks to his excellent teaching, I passed first time!I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a driving instructor in Northampton. Thank you again for all your help and support! 🚗🎉👏-Veronika kolosova

When things don’t go to plan, the right team makes all the difference.

This week, one of my learners has their driving test booked for tomorrow.

Then, at the worst possible time, my training car developed a starter motor fault and had to go into the garage.

The plan was simple: get the repair done and be ready for test day.

Unfortunately, the wrong part was delivered, meaning my car will not be ready in time.

For a learner, that could have meant panic, stress, and possibly even missing their test.

But this is where being part of a proper driving school team really matters.

At Driving Skills Academy, we don’t just work as individual instructors. We support each other, look after our learners, and pull together when it counts.

A huge thank you to Gary, one of our Driving Skills Academy instructors, who stepped in and offered his car as a backup so my learner’s test can still go ahead tomorrow.

It means the learner still has a suitable car available, still has support, and still has the opportunity to take their test.

For learners, this shows the value of choosing a driving school with a strong local team behind it.

For instructors, it shows the value of being part of a franchise that genuinely works together. You are not on your own. You have colleagues, backup, advice and support when it matters most.

Things can go wrong. Cars can break. Parts can be delayed.

But with the right team around you, problems become solutions.

Great to meet so many people at the Northampton Jobs Fair 🚗

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the Driving Skills Academy stand to talk about becoming a driving instructor.

We had some really honest and positive conversations about what the job is actually like, including the flexibility, the earning potential, the training process, and the support needed to build a long-term career.

At Driving Skills Academy, we don’t make unrealistic promises. Like any industry, driving instruction has peaks and troughs. But those who train properly, deliver high standards, keep learning, and have the right support around them are the ones best placed to succeed.

That’s exactly why our instructor training is delivered by highly qualified trainers, including Level 8 Diploma qualified trainers, and why our instructors are encouraged to continue developing towards recognised qualifications such as Level 5.

Our aim is simple: to support people properly from the very start of their journey, through training, onto a trainee licence, and beyond into a successful career as an ADI.

If you spoke to us today and would like more information, or if you couldn’t make it but are considering a career change, drop us a message and we’ll be happy to talk it through.

Become a driving instructor with proper training, realistic guidance, and local support.

i had Gary as my driving instructor and i can honestly say he was amazing, passed first time myself and it’s all thanks to him. He makes the lessons enjoyable whilst also remaining professional and getting the job done and ensures you are comfortable at all times. Would recommend to anyone learning to drive.
