If you teach people how to drive on a road for financial or
commercial gain, you must have a current driving instructor
endorsement on your driver licence. This is called an I
endorsement.
You’ll need to get an I endorsement for each class of driver
licence you want to teach. For example, you’ll need an I(1)
endorsement to teach people how to drive light motor vehicles
(Class 1 driver licence), but you’ll need an I(6) endorsement to
teach people how to ride motorcycles (Class 6 driver licence).
Before you can apply for an I endorsement, you must have held
a full New Zealand driver licence of the class or classes you
want to teach for at least two years
For example, if you want to teach Class 1 and Class 2, you must have held a full New Zealand
licence for both Class 1 and Class 2 for at least two years.
