• Hold a full UK driving license for at least three years

​

Step 3: Apply for Registration Once you've completed your qualification course, you can apply to be registered as an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) with the DVSA. You'll need to provide proof of your qualifications, pass a criminal record check, and pay a fee.
