How much do they get paid?

OK I think, not fantastic. I have a friend who is one, but she's technically self employed but working for the company, so sick days are a bugger. I think she once said she got between £200 & £300 a week, but I could have remembered that wrong.

Plussssss its all weather, snow, rain, hail, frost, and fog. Also the winter months are very quiet.

The pay isn't great and it's a very seasonal job. An instructor could work all hours over 7 days a week in the summer and really bring in the money, but that's balanced by the lean months in the winter.

I know of a lot of instructors that work part-time as full-time instructing doesn't bring in enough money for them.

It's not very much.

Also in winter, when there's hardly owt on, most employers will only pay instructors for the training they do.

Kind of, turn up Monday - 'soz mate, nowt booked in this week' = no earnings that week.

Plus you get to spend your days with socially inept teenage boys who ignore all the advice you give them.

The place i did all my lessons at (and my CBT) is always booekd up and busy.

Was talking to one of the guys there this morning before my test, says their annual turn over is somewhere between £1,000,000~2,000,000 !

Thats from everyhig they do, so;

CBTs
DAS
1 to 1 sessions
Road Craft
Post-test courses
they also rent out bikes (500s and 125s)

Their office is a really small place, never hought they'd do that much business!
