-
Step 1
Get certified to become a driving instructor. You may have to pass a high-level certification test to assure that you are qualified to teach others the rules and skills of driving.
-
Step 2
File with the DMV to become certified as a state recognized driver's education school if it has that type of program. Get a driving school business license, which is usually required to operate as an official school in your state.
-
Step 3
Rent a fleet of safe, reliable vehicles that are equipped with passenger side brakes and other instructional tools to help during the driving portion of the training.
-
Step 4
Get business insurance to protect your vehicles. You will likely need comprehensive coverage due to the increased risk involved when teaching young and inexperienced drivers.
-
Step 5
Find a small building to lease for your driver's education school, or rent space at a classroom at a local college or high school to hold driver's education classes. The space has to have plenty of parking for your fleet of vehicles and preferably a large lot where you can safely teach students driving maneuvers.
-
Step 6
Set a price for your driver's education classes that will allow you to make a comfortable profit on your business operations, but that the parents and students in your community can reasonably afford.
-
Step 7
Advertise your driver's education school in local newspapers, with posters placed on bulletin boards at stores in your immediate area, and go to your local DMV offices to see if they have a place where you can leave flyers about your driver's education school. You can also contact local high schools to give them information about your new driver's education school that can be disseminated to the older students.
