How to Obtain a C1 Driving Instructor Certificate and What Are the Requirements?
2 Answers
Obtain the corresponding motor vehicle driver's license and meet the requirements for safe driving experience and driving experience with the corresponding vehicle type. Master the basic knowledge of road traffic safety regulations, driving theory, motor vehicle structure, traffic safety psychology, and emergency driving. Be familiar with vehicle maintenance and common fault diagnosis, and possess the teaching ability to explain driving essentials, demonstrate driving actions, and guide driving.
When I was preparing for the C1 driving instructor certificate, I also inquired about the conditions everywhere. The most basic requirement is that you must have held a C1 driver's license for at least 5 years and be under 60 years old. A clean driving record without major accidents or drunk driving incidents is a must, and you also need to meet the physical health requirements. I remember I first went to the transportation management department to register and submit materials like copies of my ID and driver's license. Then, I had to attend theoretical and practical training, which took about a month in total. On the exam day, I was extremely nervous—the morning session covered theory, including traffic regulations and teaching knowledge, while the afternoon involved on-site teaching demonstrations, followed by a first aid test. After passing, I still had to get a medical check-up and obtain a health certificate before receiving the license. The whole process was indeed not easy. If you're planning to sign up, it's best to check the latest requirements in advance at a driving school or the transportation management office.
