The company presents itself as a driving school marketplace active since 2019 and operates in England, Scotland, and Wales, with coverage in over 100 UK cities and towns.

Verified instructors and coverage network

According to the platform's own information, its network consists of over 500 DVSA-approved instructors (ADI, Approved Driving Instructor). Every instructor in the network holds a current Green Badge and has passed DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks. The company states that instructors are assigned to learners by postcode.

Reported results

National Instructors reports a 92% pass rate and over 25,000 students who have passed the practical test through its network of ADI instructors since 2019. This data comes from the company's own presentation.

Origin and purpose of the platform

The company was founded in 2019 with the stated goal of simplifying the search for and booking of DVSA-approved instructors in the UK. According to its account, the project was created to solve industry problems such as long waiting lists, unclear pricing, and the difficulty of comparing local instructors.
