Instructor Requirements

Everything you need to get started as a driving instructor with DriveThruL. Already qualified? You could be teaching within days.

What You Need

To join DriveThruL as a driving instructor, you will need to meet the following requirements.

Valid UK Driving Licence

You must hold a full UK driving licence for at least 3 years. You should have a clean or near-clean driving record.

ADI Qualification

You need to be a qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), or be willing to train. We welcome PDIs who are working towards their qualification.

DBS Check

An enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check is required. We can guide you through the application process if needed.

Dual-Controlled Vehicle

You will need access to a dual-controlled vehicle for teaching. If you do not have one, we can help you source or lease a suitable car.

Right to Work in the UK

You must have the legal right to work in the United Kingdom. We may ask for proof of eligibility during the onboarding process.

Not Sure If You Qualify?

Not everyone meets every requirement straight away, and that is perfectly fine. If you are working towards your ADI qualification or need guidance on the DBS process, we are here to help. Get in touch and we will discuss your options.
