The cost of becoming a driving instructor in Preston varies widely, especially depending on where you train. National brands often charge thousands more for basic packages. At Acorn, you’ll get expert training from DVSA-approved professionals, including one-to-one support, mock tests, real route experience, and a step-by-step path to pass each stage. And guess what? You don’t need to break the bank to break into this profession.
At Acorn School of Motoring, we believe the cost should never be the reason someone gives up on their dreams. That’s why we offer instructor training packages designed with affordability and quality in mind:
Our total cost is far more affordable than big-name competitors, without compromising on support or quality.
This isn’t theory-based, boring textbook stuff. You’ll learn from instructors who’ve spent years on the roads of Preston, Blackburn, and Darwen. We know the test routes, the student fears, and the confidence-building techniques that work. And we’re ready to pass that knowledge on to you.
When you learn locally, you build your future where you’ll actually work. It’s not generic city training—it’s tailored to your community. Preston’s roads, examiners, and traffic patterns are unique. Our team helps you navigate all of it like a pro.
Plus, if you plan to stay in the area, your network starts the moment you sign up.
Being a driving instructor isn’t just about cars and clutch control. It’s about guiding someone through one of life’s biggest milestones. You’ll help a nervous teen take their first drive, or a mum who finally wants her license to take her kids to school.
The pride you’ll feel when your student passes? Unmatched.
The average driving instructor in Preston earns a solid income, often over £30,000 to £40,000 per year, depending on hours. But even more valuable is the flexibility. Work mornings, evenings, weekends—it’s your call.
