Antonio Tadic, Flexidrive instructor
"I started with a couple of slots to see how it worked. Now I'm regularly doing 10 to 16 hours a week through the app alongside my own students. The platform manages everything, I just show up and teach."

Associate | Part-time
Philip Coyle, Flexidrive instructor

Questions

Everything instructors ask, answered clearly.

What's involved?

There are three stages to qualifying as an Approved Driving Instructor in Ireland: a theory test, a driving ability test, and a teaching ability test. Each stage builds on the last, and you must pass all three before you can instruct professionally.

How long does it take?

It varies depending on how much time you can dedicate, but most people complete the full process in around 6–9 months.

What's the cost?

It depends on the individual, but you can expect to invest somewhere between €1,000 and €2,500 in total, inclusive of test fees.

What happens when I qualify?

Once you pass all three stages, you'll be registered as an ADI with the RSA and can begin taking on learners professionally. From there, joining Flexidrive gets you straight to work, learners find you through the app, bookings come in, and you're up and running without the hassle of building a client base from scratch.
