“As you start on the Trainee Licence, you will have an advertising campaign set up for a 15 mile radius of an agreed location, taking into account your home address and the local area.
It’s recommended to manage areas carefully, focusing on one area per day in order to minimise fuel costs and maximise time during your working hours.
You must also bear in mind the location of any test centres, and major cities, and how this will affect your teaching area. For example, your nearest test centre may be around 8 miles away. It would be worth gaining clients in this area for you to gain experience teaching in this area!
Not all test centres will allow you to take the Part 3 test, so this is also an important factor in deciding your teaching area.
The main purpose of the trainee licence is to get you out on the road gaining experience, so it will be worth travelling further and being flexible on time in order to maximise your preparation time leading up to the part 3.”
