Trainee licence

The driving instructor trainee licence allows candidates to work for payment for a driving school whilst preparing for the instructional test. To be eligible for the licence you must undertake 40 hours of training and be sponsored by the driving school. A further 20 hours of training must be undertaken during the first 3 months of the licence or before you take part 3 of the exam, whichever is the sooner.
