Legal requirements
When applying to become a driving instructor, you must fulfill
the following legal requirements:
· hold a full UK or European Union (EU/European Economic
Area (EEA) unrestricted car driving licence for a total of at
least four out of the past six years prior to entering the Register
after qualifying
· not have been disqualified from driving at any time in
the four years prior to being entered in the Register
· be a "fit and proper" person to have your name
entered in the Register. All convictions, motoring and non-motoring,
will be taken into account when we assess your suitability to
be entered on the Register. From Spring 2007 applicants will be
required to have an enhanced level criminal record check. The
information from this check will be used by us to assess the suitability
of persons applying for inclusion on the Register of Approved
Driving Instructors.. To help you decide if any conviction you
may have could affect any application you might make, you can
find the link to our statement on the suitability of ex-offenders
in the related items box.
· Pass the two qualifying practical examinations within
two years of passing the theory examination
· Apply for registration within 12 months of passing the
final part of the examination.
