 Becoming a Driving Instructor - Legal Requirements: 

• Prospective candidates must hold a full UK or European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) unrestricted car driving licence. If you hold an EU/EEA licence, you must exchange this either for a GB licence or a Community licence.
• If your are wanting to train as a driving instructor, you must have held your licence for a total of at least four out of the past six years prior to entering the ADI Register after qualifying. Foreign driving licences, automatic car driving licences or a provisional licence held after passing the driving test will count towards the four years.

• As a PDI, you must be a “fit and proper” person to have your name entered onto the Register. The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) will take into account any/all spent and un-spent convictions you may have (motoring and non-motoring convictions), when they assess your suitability to be entered onto the Register. This includes fixed penalty offences such as speeding.
• The final decision as to whether you are a fit and proper person to be entered into the Register is the responsibility of the Registrar. The Registrar will take into account any motoring convictions that you have acquired in the last six years as well as your criminal record - if you have one.
•  If you have any motoring offence(s) with current endorsements totalling 5 penalty points or more, this may be result in your application being refused.
