Driving Instructor FAQs

What is 1300 LEARNER?
1300 LEARNER is Australia's fastest growing connection service for local, independent driving instructors. 1300 LEARNER is not a franchise, and not just a phone number. All driving instructors subscribed to the network control the rights to the number in their area and are offered an advertising pack to help 'kick start' enquiries. Click here and listen to a sample of how it works!

Just what do I get when I sign up for 1300 LEARNER?
When you sign up for 1300 LEARNER, you gain exclusive access to Australia's most powerful driving instructor phone number in your area. You are also offered an advertising pack, at a nominal charge.

How many subscribers will there be in a given postcode?
Depending on demographics you have two options available. Exclusive rights to your area or to share with one other business to ensure customers get a quick turnaround time. These options can be discussed further on application.

What does it cost to subscribe to the 1300 LEARNER service?
The price to subscribe to 1300 LEARNER varies substantially, depending on your desired postcode(s). The population of a particular postcode is the major factor influencing its price. In short, the lower the population of a postcode, the lower its price. Working class areas or affluent areas have absolutely no bearing on price. Due to strong demand, the Central Business District (CBD) in each capital city is priced at a premium. To view pricing, please visit our registration/pricing section.

The only other cost associated with the 1300 LEARNER service is the inbound phone calls. All calls generated from 1300 LEARNER will be billed separately on a monthly basis. Again, this cost varies depending on the number of inbound calls you receive.

Can I subscribe to multiple postcodes?
Yes, you can subscribe to as many postcodes as you wish. 1300 LEARNER's slogan is 'Your Local Driving Instructor', so you must be able to efficiently service the subscribed postcodes.

Can I get a discounted rate if I subscribe to multiple postcodes?
Demand for the 1300 LEARNER service even before launch has been overwhelming. It is anticipated that every available postcode will be secured in a very short time span. For this reason, we will not be offering discounts for multiple postcodes.

What if another driving instructor has already subscribed my desired postcode?
As there is total exclusivity to each and every postcode, the only option left is to register your details on our 'waiting list'. If the current subscriber surrenders their subscription, or their subscription is taken away from them, the next driving instructor business on the waiting list will be offered that area. To be placed on the waiting list, follow the registration process by entering your desired postcode, then click on the waiting list link.

How is 1300 LEARNER advertised?
As a 1300 LEARNER subscriber, included in your subscription is an advertising pack. The advertising pack has been designed after extensive research was conducted to figure out what makes people tick when it comes to choosing an instructor.

How is 1300 LEARNER marketed?   
You decide on the level of marketing for your area. You can simply include the 1300 LEARNER logo as a co-brand to your existing business name and phone number(s).

The main objective is for you to capture new local business, business you may not neccesarily have captured. As 1300 LEARNER is easy to remember, it will always be 'first in mind' for when people require a driving instructor. They can simply pick up the phone, not the phone book, and call you!

Do I have to change my business name?   
No. 1300 LEARNER is simply an additional telephone number people can call you on to help capture additional business you may not have necessarily acquired. You can promote your company name simultaneously with the phone number.

What is the cost of advertising?
You determine how much and where you want to spend money promoting your services, but now you have 'the ultimate marketing weapon' to make your advertising dollars work much harder for you.

Where will calls dialed to 1300 LEARNER in my subscription postcode ring?
Directly into your office or mobile phone! It's your choice. The comprehensive telephone routing system delivers calls directly to you depending on the desired postcode of the caller. So your customers can receive the same great service with a number they can't forget!

Does subscribing to 1300 LEARNER mean you're franchising-away the name and control of your business?
Not at all. 1300 LEARNER is a mutual-benefit marketing system, not a franchise. You stay in complete charge of your business. Unlike a franchise, we don't charge you hundreds of thousands of dollars to join, or even an "off-the-top" slice of your profits.

Do I have to change my telephone number and service provider?
Of course not. Your current telephone number/s all remain the same. 1300 LEARNER is simply an additional telephone number customers can call to reach you. The relationship you have with your current telecommunications provider remains the same.

Am I protected at the end of my subscription term that the price will be capped?
Yes. Once you have signed the agreement, the price is locked in according to the terms and conditions, irrespective if current market values have increased upon renewal. Subscribing to the 1300 LEARNER service guarantees you peace of mind, no surprises at the end of your agreement.

Why is this better than the telephone directory or the local newspaper trades guide?
With a memorable number like 1300 LEARNER, customers can call you first, without going to the telephone directory or local newspaper. So there is less chance that they will shop the competition. Also, this number can be used in conjunction with your telephone directory ad to help promote your company name as the 1300 LEARNER representative in your area.

How long can I keep using 1300 LEARNER?
The number is exclusively yours as long as you maintain your account in good standing. All agreements are for a minimum 12 month period, automatically renewing at the end of the term (for your protection). During the entire period, you enjoy all the benefits 1300 LEARNER provides, and all of your competitors will miss out!

How does this affect branding?   
Again, you control it because you get to promote your company name simultaneously with the phone number.  As 1300 LEARNER becomes known all over the country the value to your business will continue to increase.

Do I need a new telephone line and additional software or hardware?
No. Calls are simply delivered to your current number on the phone of your choice. It may be to your mobile phone, your office phone or even your home phone. Therefore, there is no need for a new telephone line, software or hardware.
