Driving schools that prepare workers going abroad for the driving test of the country they are going to

A first step

Collect the driving-test requirements of two countries where the island's drivers go to work, and compare them with what local driving schools teach. Offer a short top-up course that covers the gaps to 10 learners preparing to go abroad. If the learners who take it pass abroad and send others to you, that is your proof.

Who pays first

A worker heading abroad for a driving job, who will pay for lessons that get them through the foreign test first time.

What leaves today

Drivers leave with licences that do not transfer and must pay again abroad, or are hired at a lower grade.

The idea and the mechanism are from the book. The first step was written for this site as a suggestion; if you know a better one, say so.

The test

Does it keep value that now leaves the island, or build the proof that lets somebody else do so?

The only test any idea on this site has to pass. The four rules that go with it are here.
