The Genesee Valley Chapter takes great pride in the high quality of its driving school instructors.
To maintain the caliber of this pool, the GVC BMW CCA …
- Has an Instructor Review Process to assess and verify the qualifications of instructors from other chapters before they are accepted into the GVC Instructor pool
- Offers continuing education in the form of Instructor Seminars to keep its current instructors up-to-date in areas that affect their on-track instruction
- Offers a rigorous Instructor Training School (ITS) for advanced drivers to learn and practice the skills required to be an Instructor
GVC Instructor Review Process - for instructors from other chapters / organizations
The GVC BMW CCA is very selective about accepting instructors from other chapters / organizations into our pool of instructors. To be considered, you will need to provide evidence of your past instructing experience, provide references, and complete an online application.
