Opening a Driving School: Practical Guide
For those wanting to obtain a driver’s license, a driving school is undoubtedly an irreplaceable reference point. Overcoming the theoretical exam and learning to drive a car are significant hurdles that can be easily overcome if one is guided consciously and professionally by a well-prepared and cutting-edge team.
If you have decided to open a driving school and are unsure what is required from a regulatory standpoint, you only need to inform yourself about the necessary qualifications and abilities to realize your ambition. For specific information, it is necessary to adequately understand the “Regulation amending the discipline of the activities of driving schools and training courses and procedures for the qualification of teachers and instructors of driving schools” (14G00044) (Official Gazette General Series n.63 of 3-17-2014). This legislative measure came into force on March 1, 2014, and clarifies all the bureaucratic steps to follow to open your Driving School.
The Dream of Becoming a Driving School Instructor
The driving school instructor is the professional responsible for the entire educational activity of the Driving School, guiding the training of those who want to obtain a driving license through a dynamic, albeit very serious and detailed, training path. After obtaining the qualification as a theory teacher and/or driving instructor, they are included in the driving school’s staff to meticulously follow the preparation and training of candidates wanting to obtain their license. Additionally, the driving school instructor also handles courses aimed at recovering deducted points from the license and/or professional qualification certificates and/or CQC courses. (CQC is a mandatory certification for driving vehicles with a full load mass over 3.5 tons).
All in Order to Become a Driving School Instructor
Specifically, to open a driving school and own it, it is necessary to be of legal age, have obtained a type B license and a high school diploma. Additionally, one must not only attend the mandatory course and successfully pass the qualification exam but also meet some legal requirements. In particular, the aspiring driving school instructor, besides being of legal age, must not have any criminal convictions, nor be declared a habitual offender. Furthermore, they must have the qualification as a theory teacher and/or driving instructor, having already worked in the field for at least two years. From a financial standpoint, it is important to be able to demonstrate good resources to support one’s activity; (Financial Capacity Certificate), in addition, there is the obligation to own a car and to form a consortium, unless already owned, to have the entire vehicle fleet in order to adequately conduct the practical part of the course.
The Course and Exam to Become a Driving School Instructor
As previously announced, to become a driving school instructor, it is necessary to attend a mandatory 145-hour course. The course, normally established by a Training Center or an authorized Driving School, ends with a proficiency exam that must be passed successfully. Specifically, the exam consists of a quiz, a theoretical test, and a practical test; it is normally held at the competent Province. If the Province has not issued any announcements, the candidate may take the test in other Provinces.
How to Open a Driving School: Obligations
The management of the driving school and the assets connected to it must be exclusive and permanent. The owner of the driving school must commit to providing registered users with adequate technical equipment and essential educational/training material. The premises of the driving school must be at least 40 square meters. The initial investment is certainly costly as resources are needed for educational material and the necessary means for practical tests, thus for driving.
Where to Open a Driving School
To open a Driving School in Italy, you will need to proceed with opening a VAT number or forming a company; presenting to the provincial office a Certified Start of Activity Notification. Following this, a technician from the Province will check your structure, compiling a certificate which will give you permission to open your Driving School.
Opening a driving school can be a realizable dream for those passionate about the automotive world and wishing to share their expertise with aspiring motorists. With adequate training and constant commitment, it is possible to start and successfully manage your own driving school, contributing to the education and road safety of the local community.
