ALREADY A LICENSED DRIVING INSTRUCTOR?
We'd especially like to hear from candidates who are already licensed as
Rhode Island Driving Instructors or who have previous behind-the-wheel instruction experience.
Compensation within the advertised range will reflect experience, qualifications, and availability.
WHO CAN BECOME A GREAT INSTRUCTOR?
You don't necessarily need a background in driver education.
People with experience in teaching, coaching, customer service, transportation, training,
or other people-focused roles may be excellent candidates.
What matters most to us is your ability to communicate clearly, remain patient, drive safely,
and treat every student with respect.
We're not just looking for experienced instructors. We're looking for good people who can become great instructors.
