AMA is Alberta’s leading driving school and is proud to offer progressive driving programs. Our goal is to teach our students the skills to have a lifetime of safe driving through innovative training and exceptional customer service. If you are a current licensed Class 5 Instructor or interested in becoming one, this is a great opportunity to join our team as a permanent full time salaried employee!
In this position, AMA would provide the classroom and in-vehicle training required to receive a Class 5 Instructor License so you have the ability to help us effectively deliver our Driver Education programs. If you have a strong desire to turn students into safe drivers for life and enjoy making a difference in the lives of others, we’re interested in talking with you.
This full-time position is based in Edmonton out of AMA’s South Admin Centre. You will be supplied an AMA Instructor Vehicle to provide student lessons.
WHAT MOVES YOU:
- You’re positive, upbeat and love being around people — but when it comes to driving, you’re serious about staying safe and you’re a stickler for following the rules of the road.
- You take pride in your own driving behavior and have the desire to be the model of excellence – even when no one is watching.
- You’re truly unflappable and you’ve got a Zen-like ability to remain calm in even the most stressful driving situations (after all, you know that riding with first-time drivers can be an adventure!).
- You make delivering an excellent customer experience your top priority.
- You’re a natural teacher and enjoy answering questions — even the ones you’ve heard a few times in a day.
- You understand that no two students are the same so you always look for the best ways to share information that will meet the needs of your learners.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Report to the Chief Instructor.
- Provide quality vehicle instruction to students, following AMA’s instruction requirements and customer service standards.
- Provide constructive feedback on student drivers’ ability, helping them to develop the confidence and skills necessary to become licensed, safe drivers for life.

- You have either professional driving experience or experience instructing others.
- You have a proven track record of helping others and the ability to share your knowledge.

- You have excellent verbal communication skills and a professional, neat appearance.
WHAT YOU'LL GET:
- Competitive salary.
- Flexible benefits.
- Outstanding Retirement Savings Program.
- Great AMA discounts.
- Unlimited learning opportunities.
- Use of AMA Fleet Vehicle for completing student lessons.
- Paid time off including vacation, volunteer day, and Me day.
- Learning workshops twice a year for professional development.
