After spending over a decade teaching people to drive, I've noticed a significant shift in how new drivers want to learn. More and more students ask if they can learn driving online. My initial reaction was 'no way,' but over time, I realised it's not that simple. Let me share what I've learned about creating effective online driving courses that actually help students succeed.
Before you start recording videos or writing content, it's worth understanding why people want to learn driving online in the first place. Through countless conversations with my students, I've found they're usually looking for:
- A way to prepare before investing in practical lessons.
- Flexible study options that fit around work schedules.
- Clear explanations they can replay as needed.
- Budget-friendly alternatives to classroom theory sessions.
- Resources they can access anytime, anywhere.
The trick is to meet these needs while being crystal clear about what online learning can and can't do.
