DRIVING INSTRUCTOR X1 – EASYGO CHIVHU DRIVING INSTRUCTOR X1 – EASYGO CHITUNGWIZA – EasyGo Car Hire & Travel (Pvt) Ltd

You must hold a valid Zimbabwean driver's licence with a clean record, typically with several years of driving experience. A Defensive Driving Certificate from VID or a recognized institution is highly advantageous. Some employers also prefer candidates with a Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe instructor certification or equivalent training.

You will conduct practical driving lessons with learner drivers, assess their progress, and prepare them for VID road tests. Daily tasks include vehicle inspection, lesson planning, maintaining student records, and ensuring safety protocols are followed. You may also advise students on traffic rules and defensive driving techniques.

Punctuality and professionalism are highly valued, as you represent both the driving school and road safety standards. Expect flexible hours including weekends, since most learners are available outside working hours. Building patience and strong communication skills is essential, as Zimbabwean learners come from diverse backgrounds with varying confidence levels.

Experienced instructors can advance to senior instructor, training coordinator, or branch manager positions within driving schools. Some transition into fleet management, transport logistics, or road safety consultancy roles. Others establish their own driving schools or become VID examiners after gaining substantial experience and additional certifications.

Benefits vary by employer but commonly include paid annual leave in line with the Labour Act, and sometimes medical aid or pension contributions for permanent staff. Commission structures based on student enrollments or lesson completion are common in the industry. Always clarify benefits during the interview, as smaller operators may offer fewer formal benefits.

Submit your CV, certified copies of your driver's licence, defensive driving certificates, and references from previous employers or driving schools. Employers prioritize proven teaching ability, patience, mechanical knowledge of vehicles, and a spotless accident history. Demonstrating familiarity with VID testing procedures and local traffic regulations will strengthen your application significantly.
