Erteilung der Fahrlehrererlaubnis beantragen

If you want to train learner drivers as a driving instructor, you need a driving instructor license.

Anyone who trains persons who wish to acquire a license to drive motor vehicles (learner drivers) requires a driving instructor's license.

After completing theoretical training in a driving instructor training center and passing the practical driving test and the professional knowledge test, the applicant for a category BE driving license receives a candidate authorization upon application for the purpose of further training in a training driving school.After completion of the practical training in the training driving school, the driving instructor license is issued upon application after passing the practical and theoretical driving lessons.

The applicant for the driving instructor license for categories A, CE and DE will be issued the corresponding driving license upon application after completing training in a driving instructor training school and after passing a practical driving test and a specialist knowledge test.

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

• Driving license in original and copy or a certified copy of the driving license

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 if you have significant entries in the central traffic register or federal central register.
• Proof of previous education: At least completed vocational training in a recognized apprenticeship or equivalent previous education, for example A-levels.
• A certificate from the officially recognized driving instructor training centre on the duration of the training carried out, in which the absence is listed separately.
• For the issue of a category BE driving instructor's license, an additional certificate from the training driving school about the duration of the training carried out
• 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.

A driving instructor's license is issued if the applicant

• is at least 21 years old,

Training to become a driving instructor can only take place at a nationally recognized driving instructor training school. Not only theoretical training, but also practical training in a training driving school is mandatory.

The training is a "graduated training". In the basic level, the driving instructor license for category BE is acquired first. A two-stage application procedure is required for this. Based on this, driving instructor licenses for categories A, CE and DE can be acquired.

To obtain a category BE driving instructor license, you must first apply for a candidate license.

• In order for the driving instructor candidate to be able to apply the knowledge freshly acquired at the officially recognized training centre in the training driving school, he or she is granted a "candidate authorization" with limited training rights if he or she has previously passed the practical driving test and the specialist knowledge test.
• The "Anwärterbefugnis" expires either when the driving instructor license is issued or after three unsuccessful driving tests in theoretical or practical driving lessons or after 2 years from the date of issue.

The duration of driving instructor training is

• five and a half months in a driving instructor training center and four and a half months in a training driving school for applicants for a category BE driving instructor license,
  
• for applicants for a category A driving instructor license, an additional month in a driving instructor training school,
  
• for applicants for a category CE or DE driving instructor license, an additional two months at a driving instructor training center(If the applicant for category DE holds a category CE driving instructor's license, the training period is reduced by one month; this also applies to the issue of a category CE driving instructor's license if the applicant previously held a category DE license).

Training at the driving instructor training center takes place in closed courses and may not be interrupted, with the exception of a period of up to one month without lessons that cannot be counted towards the duration of the training.
