Drive with us
Teach with Fast Track Academy
We run intensive driving courses across Somerset, with new patches opening in Taunton, Bridgwater, Yeovil and Weston-super-Mare. We're looking for ADIs who want a full diary without the hassle of finding pupils — the bookings, the deposits and the paperwork side are all handled here.
New instructors: six weeks fee-free, then four weeks at half fee
The offer
Six weeks free, then four weeks at half fee, then £200 a month flat.
New instructors pay no franchise fee for their first six weeks — you keep every penny the pupils pay you while you get your diary going. Your next four weeks are at half fee, £25 a week, and after that it's £50 a week to run your own patch, against £200+ a week with a national franchise. Teach short-notice and intensive blocks in Taunton, Bridgwater, Yeovil and Weston-super-Mare — the website brings the pupils in, takes their deposit and fills your diary.

enquiries, deposits and your diary
Ten weeks to get going — six fee-free, then four at half fee. No card taken and no long contract, so if the diary isn't working for you, you walk away.
Every pupil is pre-vetted: nobody reaches test-day car hire without passing our 2-hour driver assessment first.
Confidential chat, no obligation — we only ask for your documents once you're ready to start.
The difference

Bookings come to you
Pupils book and pay through this website. When one is assigned to you, you get an email with their name, number, course and lesson times — no chasing enquiries.
Deposits already taken
Every pupil has paid a deposit online before you speak to them, so they turn up and they're committed. You keep your own rates and your own car.
Work in your patch
We match pupils to whoever covers their town. Tell us the areas you want to teach in and we'll keep your diary inside them.
