There are several requirements for those who are going to take part in driving instructor training in New Zealand. Of course, they are similar to requirements in other countries, but there are some important details worth paying attention to. First of all, all candidates have to read some theory materials before they attend the classes. The materials are usually available several weeks before the training starts. The actual theory classes usually involve revision and testing the candidates" knowledge. Then the candidates will get to know various teaching techniques in the car and in the classroom. Courses also involve getting to know the legal aspects connected to becoming driving instructor as well methods of managing dangerous situations, the basics of psychology, laws of physics and creating driver training plans. Once the candidates have finished the course, they are very well prepared to start teaching. But unfortunately this is not the end of the way to become a professional. They have to go through some additional formalities. These formalities include having to pass examinations approved by the New Zealand Transport Agency. This is called ‘I" endorsement and it is necessary for a candidate to pass these tests before he or she actually starts teaching.
