You need to have more than 2 years of safe driving experience to obtain a coach certificate. The following are the requirements for coaches: 1. Theoretical coach: Obtain the corresponding motor vehicle driver's license and have more than 2 years of safe driving experience. 2. Driving operation coach: Obtain the corresponding motor vehicle driver's license and meet the requirements for safe driving experience and driving experience of the corresponding vehicle type. 3. Road passenger and freight transport driver vocational qualification training coach: Master road passenger transport regulations, freight transport regulations, motor vehicle maintenance, cargo loading and unloading, and passenger first aid knowledge, and have the corresponding teaching ability.
Well, I know this question very well. Back in the day, I drove on the road for several years before deciding to get a coach license. Generally, you need at least 3 years of driving experience and be at least 22 years old. At that time, I had just passed the three-year mark and felt I had accumulated enough driving experience before daring to sign up. I remember first going to the DMV to check the specific requirements because they might vary slightly from place to place—for example, some areas also require a clean driving record with no major accidents. Before the exam, you also need a medical check-up to ensure your vision and other aspects are up to standard, as being a coach carries great responsibility, and safety must come first. Passing the exam was truly rewarding, and when teaching new students, I could share the pitfalls I encountered, like precautions for rainy or snowy days. In short, don’t rush—wait until you have enough driving experience, and first focus on honing your driving skills before considering it.
