Continuing education for driving instructors - approved courses

When a driving instructor renews his license, confirmation that he has completed 16 hours of continuing education, in the past 5 years, must accompany an application for renewal to the District Commissioner. The driving instructor receives confirmation of the courses' completion from the course-taker at the end of each course.

Below is a list of courses that are accepted as continuing education for driving instructors. The validity period of the continuing education is 5 years from the end of the course.
