If you want to pursue the career of a driving instructor, you will need to be careful at all times to avoid a few mistakes which we will discuss here. Most drivers in reputed schools across NSW are kind towards their students and are always patient. They try to understand the needs of their students and customize the lessons so that their students can learn faster.

So, if you wish to become a driving instructor in NSW, do avoid these mistakes.

  • Shouting at students

This is a grave mistake that a good instructor will always avoid. If the instructor does this, it means that either the instructor lacks patience or does not have the skills to manage students. Moreover, every student is different and if the driver cannot understand the needs, it is best to change the career.

The instructor will always make sure that the driving lesson turns out to be a satisfying one. The instructor will try to motivate the students so that they can learn faster and they will always be student-oriented. They will always analyse the strength and weaknesses of their students and make the driving session exciting. 

  • Focuses more on communication than providing practical lessons

This is another mistake committed by even some experienced trainers. People are getting enrolled in the driving course to learn how to drive. They need to learn the theory as well and develop practical skills so that they can drive safely. But when the instructor focuses more on the theory as well as other things that are not related to driving, the session becomes monotonous. For this very reason, many students also ask for explanations from the driving school authorities.

In a driving session, the trainer needs to balance practical and theoretical lessons. Since at the end a learner will need to drive the car properly, emphasis will need to be given on developing driving skills and theory will comprise of the road safety rules, signs to follow, etc. and anything other than this is a wastage of time. So, if you want to become a driving instructor in NSW, you will need to keep this in mind too.

  • Spend too much time on personal affairs

First and foremost using mobile phones in driving training is illegal. So, good trainers never spend their valuable time on mobile phones and personal affairs. Moreover, using mobile phones can be a huge safety issue. Therefore, if you want to become a driving instructor make sure not to make this mistake.

  • Appearing late for the training

This is a very bad mistake which you will never find good instructors making this mistake. They understand that the learner has paid money for the session and he or she has other things to do. So, as a driver, you need to be punctual. But if these things keep happening then either the driver is not interested in doing the job or might have to change his shift.

So, to conclude, if you want to become a driving instructor in NSW, never make these mistakes and try to give your best to help the learner drive safely on the road.
