In 2009, Szlanka decided to start a new career trajectory and founded his own business as a DVSA-approved driving instructor. His passion for improving safety standards in the driving school industry and the quality of driving lessons led him to establish Prime Learner in 2009. Before establishing Prime Learner, Szlanka held various managerial positions, including crisis management roles in DIY store chains in different European countries. [citation required]

In response to this commitment, he founded Prime Learner, an online platform designed to deliver video driving lessons. As the Managing Director and Founder of Prime Learner Ltd, Szlanka has a vision of disrupting the traditional structure of driving schools.
