What type of license do you need to teach driving school?

The specific license or certification required to teach driving school varies significantly by location (state/province/country). There's no single universal license. You'll need to check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the equivalent agency in your jurisdiction. Requirements often include:

* Commercial Driver's License (CDL): This might be required, especially if you'll be teaching in a vehicle larger than a standard passenger car. However, many driving schools use smaller vehicles and a CDL may not be necessary.

* Instructor's Permit or License: Most jurisdictions have a specific permit or license for driving instructors. This often involves passing a background check, a driving test demonstrating exceptional skill and knowledge, and sometimes completing a specific training course.

* Background Check: A thorough background check is almost always mandatory to ensure the safety and well-being of students.

* First Aid and CPR Certification: Some areas mandate or strongly recommend this training.

In short, you cannot simply assume a standard driver's license is sufficient. Always contact your local DMV or equivalent authority to determine the precise licensing and certification requirements in your area.
