What sort of people become driving instructors?

 

People who like the idea of being their own boss and having control over their income and working hours.

People who want a career, not just a job.

People who don’t want to be tied to a desk all day long.

People with a natural desire to help others – It’s extremely rewarding meeting someone with absolutely no driving experience and then watching them grow in confidence and ability as you help them develop the skills that they need for a lifetime of safe driving.

GET THE WORK/LIFE BALANCE THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DESERVE!

No previous experience is needed – It doesn’t matter what you’ve done before. Many driving instructors are women returning into work after bringing up the kids, people wanting a career change, or have maybe been made redundant.

    How to Become a Driving Instructor

    KWIK PASS your local driving instructor trainer company based in Bedfordshire are authorised by DVSA to deliver driving training.

    We can provide you with an insight and the steps involved to become an instructor. These are:

    Pre-qualifications

    You must:

    • Be at least 21 years old
    • Have held a full driving licence for at least 3 years
    • Qualified to drive the same category of vehicle you’re supervising them in
    • If you meet the above criteria then you can start the process of becoming a Driving Instructor.

    Application for Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) / CRB
    Firstly, you will need to have a criminal record check. You must apply for one even if you hold one already. The way to do this:

    Online: You can apply online by completing an application.

    Before you start, you’ll need to use the below codes:

    organisation PIN 105205 secret word axis organisation name DVSA – PDI (PO)

    • You must also bring out your printed application – the page with the barcodes on.

    Factors taken into account when having a DBS / CRB …

    Having a criminal record will not necessarily stop you from becoming an ADI. Before reaching a decision on whether you’re a ‘fit and proper’ person, the risk you’re likely to pose to pupils is assessed by considering factors like:

    • whether the caution, conviction or other information revealed is relevant to the ADI role
    • the seriousness of any offence
    • the circumstances surrounding an offence and the explanation
    • the length of time since the offence occurred and if it’s ‘spent’ under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974
    • whether there’s a pattern of offending behaviour
    • whether the circumstances have changed since the offending behaviour

    Each case is considered on an individual basis. The ADI Registrar will write to you giving you the opportunity to explain your circumstances before making a final decision.

    Offences where it’s unlikely you’re ‘fit and proper’ – These include both motoring offences and other convictions

    Your application can be refused if you have:

    • been banned from driving
    • 5 or more penalty points
    • been convicted of any non-motoring offences

    The ADI Registrar will consider whether or not you’re suitable to become a driving instructor.

    Your application is unlikely to be accepted if you’ve been:

    • convicted of a sexual, violent, financial or drug-related crime
    • banned from working with children

    Visit the gov.uk website to see further details about eligibility.

    Before starting to apply as an instructor you will need:

    • your driving licence number
    • a criminal record disclosure number to become a driving instructor – you must have got this within the last 6 months
    • details of any motoring or non-motoring offences, and disqualifications from driving
