Procedure descriptions

Driving instructor licence - applying for a candidate licence

Anyone who trains persons who wish to acquire a licence to drive motor vehicles (learner drivers) requires a driving instructor licence. The driving instructor licence is issued on application in category BE and additionally in categories A, CE and DE. The applicant initially receives a candidate licence. The candidate licence is issued for the purpose of continuing training as a driving instructor specifically for practical training in a training driving school. After completing the entire training and passing an examination, the driving instructor licence is issued.

The driving instructor licence and the candidate licence may only be used together with the driving school licence or as part of an employment or training relationship with the owner of a driving school.

Responsible authority

Landratsamt Göppingen

Details

Prerequisite

The driving instructor licence is issued if the applicant

  • is at least 21 years old,
  • is mentally, physically, professionally and pedagogically suitable and there are no facts that make him/her appear unreliable for the driving instructor profession,
  • has at least completed vocational training in a recognised teaching profession or equivalent previous training,
  • is in possession of a driving licence for the category for which the driving instructor licence is to be issued,
  • has held a category B driving licence for at least three years and, if the driving instructor licence is also to be issued for category A, CE or DE, has also held a category A2, CE or D driving licence for two years in each case,
  • have been trained as a driving instructor within the last three years before the driving instructor licence was issued,
  • proves their professional and pedagogical aptitude by successfully passing the driving instructor examinations,
  • has the knowledge of the German language required to carry out the professional activity.

The following requirements do not yet have to be met for the candidate licence to be issued:

  • Minimum age,
  • Completion of training as a driving instructor
  • complete completion of the driving instructor examinations (the practical driving test and the specialised knowledge test must be successfully completed for the candidate licence)

Procedure

Training to become a driving instructor can only take place at a recognised driving instructor training centre. This requires not only theoretical training, but also practical training in a driving instructor training centre.

The duration of driving instructor training is

  • at least 12 months for applicants for a category BE driving instructor licence and includes lessons in a driving instructor training centre and additionally in a training driving school
  • for applicants for a category A driving instructor licence, at least one additional month at a driving instructor training centre
  • for applicants for a category CE or DE driving instructor licence, at least two additional months at a driving instructor training centre
    (If the applicant for category DE holds a category CE driving instructor licence, the training period is reduced by one month; this also applies to the issue of a category CE driving instructor licence if the applicant previously held a category DE licence).

Driving instructor training takes place in closed courses at a recognised training centre. An interruption is generally not permitted, with the exception of a maximum one-month period without lessons, which is not counted towards the total duration of the training.

The training is a "phased training programme". In the basic level, the driving instructor licence for category BE is acquired first. This requires a two-stage application procedure, first for a candidate licence and later for the driving instructor licence. Building on the category BE driving instructor licence, category A, CE and DE driving instructor licences can be obtained.

To obtain a driving instructor licence, a candidate licence must first be applied for.

  • In order for the candidate driving instructor to be able to apply the knowledge freshly acquired at the officially recognised training centre in the training driving school, he or she is granted a "candidate licence" with limited training rights if he or she has previously passed the practical driving test and the specialist knowledge test with flying colours.
  • The candidate licence expires either when the driving instructor licence is issued (after successfully completing the training and passing the theory and practical driving test) or after three unsuccessful theory or practical driving tests or after two years from the date of issue.

After completing the driving instructor training and successfully passing the driving instructor examinations, the applicant will receive an unlimited driving instructor licence for category BE upon application.

You must submit the application to the competent authority for your place of residence in writing or, if offered by the competent authority, as an online application. To apply online, please use the link on this page. You can upload the required evidence and documents as file attachments as part of the online application.

  • Identity card or passport with registration certificate
  • Original driver's license and copy or a certified copy of the driver's license
  • Certificate of good conduct of document type O
  • Curriculum vitae in tabular form
  • Medical and ophthalmologic certificate. This must show that you are suitable for the profession of driving instructor. Depending on your personal situation, you may also be required to submit a specialist medical certificate or an expert opinion from an officially recognized assessment body, for example in the case of illnesses such as diabetes or hypertension or in the case of significant entries in the central traffic register or federal central register.
  • Proof of previous education: At least completed vocational training in a recognized apprenticeship after completing secondary school or equivalent previous education.
  • A certificate from the officially recognized driving instructor training centre confirming the duration of the training.
  • For the issue of a category BE driving instructor's license, an additional certificate from the training driving school confirming the duration of the training completed
  • Possession of the BE driving license category for at least three years. If the driving instructor license is also to be issued for category A, CE or DE, a driving license for category A2, CE or D for two years in each case.

Miscellaneous

Applicants who have already obtained a driving instructor license in the public service (German Armed Forces, police) and are seeking a civilian driving instructor license do not need to take the driving instructor test. In addition to the above-mentioned documents, these applicants must enclose proof of possession of the service driving instructor license (e.g. certified copy of the driving instructor license) with the application.
