What I offer driving schools
Cover · Two-wheelers · Development
— three strands, a single agreement
Three clearly identified uses of one and the same partnership. You can start with a single strand — usually instructor cover — then widen it as your needs change. No lasting commitment, no hiring, no employer contributions.
Instructor cover — category B hours
Subcontracted category B teaching sessions: driving hours, accompanied driving progress meetings (AAC), mock tests. Schedule agreed together, quick to get going.
- Category B hours in person, in your dual-control vehicle
- AAC progress meetings (RV1, RV2, RV3)
- School holidays & peaks in demand
- Standing in for an instructor during a short absence
Powered two-wheeler instruction
Sessions on the powered two-wheeler categories — to launch a two-wheeler activity or to cover the absence of an instructor approved for A. Manoeuvring area, on the road, tests.
- A1 training (16 years old, 125 cm³)
- A2 training (18 years old, 35 kW)
- The A upgrade course and direct access (24 years old)
- The 7 h “125” module for holders of a category B licence
Offer development & B2B
Building post-licence and corporate offers together. You carry your local brand, I bring the teaching expertise and the command of occupational road risk. The value created is shared.
- Post-licence module (new drivers)
- Eco-driving module — small business fleets
- L. 4121-1 awareness sessions for your business clients
- Support with prospecting & with the sales pitch
How we work together
Sessions on demand
or a monthly agreement
Two main formats, to choose according to your rhythm and how far ahead you can see the workload. In every case: a written agreement, monthly invoicing, VAT exemption, and no form of disguised employment.
Sessions on demand
You call on me as soon as a need comes up: the June peak, the start of term, an instructor's leave, tests to slot in. A session booked within 48 h to 1 week depending on availability, invoiced by the hour worked.
- Hourly rate set in a framework agreement
- No guaranteed volume, on either side
- Ideal for absorbing the unexpected
- Monthly invoice — VAT exemption (art. 293 B CGI)
Monthly sessions agreement
Volume set in advance (for example 30 h B + 10 h A2 a month), with a shared rolling schedule. Rate negotiated in return for the commitment on volume. Ideal for lasting partnerships and for planning a two-wheeler activity.
- Monthly volume set over 3 to 6 renewable months
- Preferential hourly rate in return for the commitment
- B2B and post-licence modules can be built in
- Quarterly review meeting
What never appears on my invoice
What is moving in the driving
instructor's trade
REMC news, changes to the TP ECSR, new post-licence modules, feedback from the field on subcontracting and B2B: a short letter, no advertising, written for managers and trainers who want to keep up with the trade without giving it their day.

Partnership & subcontracting
A flexible way of working with driving schools
As an approved self-employed trainer, I work as a subcontractor for driving schools looking for occasional cover, for specific skills (two-wheelers, advanced training) or for support during busy periods.
A reliable partner to absorb peaks in activity, to cover an instructor's absence or to widen your offer (advanced training, post-licence, two-wheelers).
Teaching continuity kept intact, sessions matched to their level, and an experienced trainer approved for every category.
The arithmetic is not close
Employee or self-employed — the difference in cost
Hiring an instructor on a permanent contract is a substantial annual budget — well beyond the gross salary alone. Here is a comparison, for guidance only between a full-time salaried instructor and calling on a self-employed trainer.
Full-time employee (permanent)
| Gross salary (2 200 €/month × 12) | 26 400 € |
|---|---|
| Employer contributions (≈ 42 %) | 11 088 € |
| Compulsory health cover (50 %) | 540 € |
| Occupational health, income protection | 400 € |
| Compulsory continuing training | 600 € |
| Equipment, work expenses | 800 € |
| Annual total | ≈ 39 828 € |
- • Paid leave (5 weeks)
- • Possible sick leave
- • Dismissal procedure if it ends
- • Recruitment (adverts, selection)
Self-employed trainer
| Daily rate (≈ 250 €) | 250 €/day |
|---|---|
| 100 days of work a year | 25 000 € |
| Social charges | 0 € |
| Health cover, income protection | 0 € |
| Continuing training | 0 € |
| Equipment & kit | 0 € |
| Annual total | 25 000 € |
- ✓ You pay only for what you actually need
- ✓ No long-term commitment
- ✓ No termination procedure
- ✓ Cover now and then or regularly, as you prefer
Figures for guidance. The calculation varies with your collective agreement, your region, the profile of the employee and the volume of work. This comparison assumes a need equivalent to about 100 teaching days a year — beyond that, hiring can make sense again. Let us look at your exact situation and settle on the right choice.

Driving school FAQ
Frequently asked questions from driving schools
How available are you?
It varies with the time of year — do get in touch so we can look at my availability against what you need (one-off, recurring or seasonal).
Do you have your own vehicle?
No — I work only with the dual-control vehicles of the partner driving school, car and two-wheeler alike, as needed. No investment in equipment is required on your side.
Is your authorisation to teach up to date?
Yes — authorisation to teach currently valid and refresher training up to date. All the administrative evidence is provided on request.
How does invoicing work?
Invoiced by the hour or at a fixed price depending on the assignment, in line with the rules on subcontracting. Quote and terms set out beforehand, payment 30 days end of month.
Do you take one-off assignments?
Absolutely — a few hours to stand in for an absent instructor, a day of assessment, a post-licence weekend course. Flexibility is exactly what the self-employed model is good for.
