Between October and December 2014, we saw a 23 percent year-on-year increase in the number of learner enquiries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the car market, the driver training market is a good barometer of the economic health of the nation. When times are hard, people tend to push back learning to drive because of the cost attached to learning \u2013&nbsp;and to driving once they pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"715\" src=\"https:\/\/live-red-driving-school.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RED-learner-instructor.jpg\" alt=\"Learner driver and driving instructor\" class=\"wp-image-1086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reddrivingschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RED-learner-instructor.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.reddrivingschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RED-learner-instructor-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.reddrivingschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RED-learner-instructor-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.reddrivingschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RED-learner-instructor-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.reddrivingschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RED-learner-instructor-650x484.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At RED, we have a unique and modern approach to new driver training \u2013\u00a0which now includes free online e-learning and cognitive training (<a href=\/learners\/reds-road-brain-trainer\/>RRBT<\/a>) \u2013\u00a0and we\u2019re always looking to recruit more instructors to help us out with the increasing number of pupils.
