How Long Does It Take?
Most people qualify to become a driving instructor in 7 to 12 months, though some complete it in as little as six. Our flexible training is built to work around your current job or other commitments.
Once you pass Part 1 (theory) and Part 2 (driving ability), you’ll have the chance to start working and earning as a trainee instructor. This not only provides valuable teaching experience but also helps you prepare for the final Part 3 test. As DVSA ORDIT-approved instructor trainers, we ensure your training is top-quality and fully compliant with national standards.
A trainee driving instructor licence is issued by the DVSA and allows you to teach real learner drivers while preparing for your final test. To be eligible, you must complete at least 40 hours of instructor training and pass the first two qualification tests.
Although the trainee licence is optional, it’s a great opportunity to earn while you learn and build real experience before taking Part 3. To make things even easier, Andrew’s Driving School will handle the entire application process for you, saving you time and reducing stress.
