A family owned business
which has been teaching
new drivers the safest
methods for almost 50 years,
trent driving school is now
also a growing franchise.
Trent Driving School franchised their
business in August 2016, and are already
seeing the benefits. Currently, Trent only have
franchisees in New South Wales, but they are
looking to expand on a national level now
that franchising has made it possible. Victoria
and the Australian Capital Territory are the
immediate focus over the next couple of years.
Long regarded as the nation’s leader in driver
training, working for a strong brand with loyal
customers makes it easy for franchisees to
focus on teaching safe driving. Driver training
also allows flexibility and an excellent work-
life balance, since it is not a typical nine-to-
five job. As a driver trainer, you have flexible
hours , ongoing professional development and
mentorship, a proven system to support you,
and a huge earning potential. Trent Driving
School instructors report a high level of job
satisfaction from creating safer drivers.
Trent have 67 franchisees so far, each of them
as individual driver trainers with a passion for
road safety and changing people’s lives. The
business is predominantly looking for people
that are new to the industry, and can offer an
official Certificate IV in driving instruction
at a discounted price for franchisees, through
their own registered training organisation.
Trent Academy and Masterclasses run for
franchisees cover internal skills training
across the business such as selling, completing
assessments correctly, and designing driving
routes. Trent also organise franchisee social
events, the most recent being go-karting and
yachting! Plus they hold an annual conference.
Trent likes their franchisees to come together
and enjoy being part of a family environment.
Trent pride themselves on continual
improvement, particularly in their support
systems. Services provided to franchisees
include a centralised phone and sales team,
and an administration team for assistance.
They have an industry-best website with
an online booking system, and an in-car,
real-time mobile electronic diary with
merchant facilities to receive direct credit
card payments. The business supplies all
signage and completes all local and national
marketing, including social media, and
provides books for the students.
The Trent Method has been developed to
produce safer drivers through curriculum-
based training. This systematised training
program makes teaching more straightforward
for instructors and learning more effective
for new drivers. As a franchisee, this proven
system makes it easy to produce great results
you can be proud of.
Community minded programs from Trent
Driving School include a Schools Program
aimed at increasing student awareness of
common hazards and crash types, and how
their decisions interact with their driving.
However, Trent doesn’t only teach young
drivers or even only new drivers. Trent
Driving School also offers corporate lessons
for business looking to improve their employee
driving safety, particularly for organisations
with fleet drivers. This involvement across all
aspects of the community, as well as having
the most qualified instructors in the industry,
has given Trent Driving School an excellent
reputation in local communities, industries,
and regulators.
Over the last 12 months, Trent have been
focussed on launching the franchise system.
Now, the near future will focus on developing
their registered training organisation and
truck training, as well continuing their road
safety presentations within schools and in
local communities.
If you’re looking to get out of the house and
help our roads become safer, not to mention
enjoy the best remuneration package in the
industry, contact Peter Hales today on:
