Instructor Preparation Program

IPP

Our Instructor Preparation Program (IPP) offers the training and certification needed to become a Certified Driving Instructor in Michigan. We have been certifying new driving instructors across the state for over 15 years through our state approved curriculum. Our coursework prepares graduates to thrive in the industry.

We help you learn how to teach both teens and adults to drive. Teaching others to operate a vehicle is a small, but critical function that keeps Michigan’s economy moving. Our program is ideal for individuals seeking a career or a post-retirement role centered around teaching, the community, and working with others.

We provide our Certified Driving Instructors with flexible work hours, competitive compensation, and a comfortable working environment.
