Hi, I've compiled this document to help people in becoming a driving instructor.

You can download this document at http://www.idrive.co.za/files/how_to_become_a_driving_instructor.doc or
http://www.idrive.co.za/files/how_to_become_a_driving_instructor.pdf

In the document I provide links to government website that go into more detail should you required, but the gist of it is in the document.

Thanks,

Working in the Cape Town area

Guest — Mon, 28 May 2007 23:30:26 +0200

I am a Driving Instructor in Reading, England. My wife and I intend to move to the Cape Town area in approximately two years time. I would like to know if I can work as an Instructor and what training or retraining I would have to do.

I am 54 years old. I qualified in England in 2001 and currently have a franchise with a Driving School. My pass rate for 2006 was nearly 50% (45 Driving Tests, 23 passes and 10 of those were first attempts). I am also an Advanced Driver, I passed the RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Test in 2005. I also work for a company called DriveTech (UK) Ltd who supply Driver Improvement Schemes, Speed Awareness Courses and Fleet Training for drivers employed by companies. I do the Driver Improvement and Speed Awareness courses.

Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Derick Bowler.
