How do I become a driving instructor?
The first step is to go to your closest Ministry of Transportation licensing office and pick up the “Driving Instructor Information Kit”, complete the application forms and present them to any Driver Examination Centre. A terminal check of your driving record and a criminal record search request will be initiated at this time. This search sometimes takes up to 8 weeks. Pay the $95.00 non-refundable fee. Pass a complete class ‘G2’ test, which includes: vision screening, knowledge test and level 2 road test. Once you have passed all the tests, your application will be sent to Head Office for approval. You must also successfully complete a Ministry approved Driving Instructor’s course before obtaining a Driving Instructor’s licence. The Ontario Safety League offers this course but recommends you do not enroll and pay for the course before you receive the Ministry’s approval of your application. On passing the course, your application must be signed by the qualified course instructor. A Driving Instructor’s course must not have been completed earlier than five years prior to your date of application.
