Driving instructor training provider

Transport approves eligible Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to deliver a Transport approved course in driving instruction for applicants who wish to become licensed driving instructors. These RTOs are referred to as Transport approved driving instructor training providers for the purposes of delivering this driving instruction course to driving instructor licence applicants.

To be eligible, an applicant must:

• be a current Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
• be ASQA approved to deliver and assess TLI41222 Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training in Group A (Car) and/or Group B (Heavy Vehicle) in NSW.
• be appropriately insured.

An applicant must submit the following to DrivingInstructorProgram@Transport.nsw.gov.au:

• a completed application form
• evidence of RTO registration and required qualification on scope.
• certificates of currency for:
  • professional indemnity insurance, $5 million for each claim
  • public liability insurance, $20 million for each claim
  • comprehensive vehicle insurance, including leased vehicles, $20 million for each claim
  • workers compensation (as per state legislation)

Your application will be assessed against the above criteria.

If your application meets the criteria, Transport may offer you an agreement to deliver the approved course in driving instruction. Transport will not recognise you as a course provider, for the purpose of assessing driving instructor licence applications, unless you enter into an agreement with Transport.

Please call 1800 642 452 or email DrivingInstructorProgram@Transport.nsw.gov.au if you have any questions or require more information.
