Do you want to become a driving instructor? It’s easy nowadays. You can easily find a

good driving instructor training course to learn the ropes. As a driving instructor, you

won’t ever be short of opportunities. There are a number of schools out there that

are looking for a driving instructor.

You need to do a few things in order to become a driving instructor. You can find a

few below:

1) Make sure you are eligible: To be eligible, you will need to have some experience

under the belt, a driving license and a squeaky clean driving history. Since the exact

criteria might differ, I’d recommend getting in touch with the local authorities or a

good driving school to confirm.

2) Make sure that you meet the requirements: Though the requirements I’ve

mentioned above are important, there are still those that are important too but

aren’t mentioned anywhere. For instance, you need to have good communication

skills to impart training and understand what the student is saying and his questions.

Teaching skills, needless to say, are important. As a driving instructor, you need to

have these skills. I’m not implying that you can’t become a driving instructor if you

can’t communicate well but, let’s just say it’ll be difficult. They will also give you an

edge over others.

3) Take the test: Needless to say, if you are eligible and interested, you need to take

the test. You would be wrong if you think that the test is very difficult. The test is a

basic test of your grasp of driving theory and practical. It might differ, as I mentioned

above, so it would be best to get some help from a local driving school if you need.

4) Enhance your knowledge: Even after you have qualified to become a driving

instructor, it’s important that you keep yourself relevant by investing in your

knowledge and skills all the time. Though the basics of driving won’t change, you can

still invest in becoming a better teacher, better communicator. Doing this isn’t

required - and to be honest, most won’t do it - but it’s something that will make you

stand out and in the long run, it will help you financially too. There are many driving

instructors out there, and many driving schools. Having a USP for yourself,

something that makes you unique, would be indubitably beneficial.
