工作內容
駕駛教師在學車場及路面教授私家車、輕型貨車或電單車駕駛,講解交通規則與考試要求,並按學員進度安排練習路線。他們同時負責車輛日常安全檢查、教學編排,以及處理學員在學車過程中的緊張情緒。教學要顧及安全與考試要求兩方面。面對突發路面情況時,教師亦要即時示範正確處理方法。
入行關卡:私人駕駛教師執照
私人駕駛教師執照由運輸署簽發,分為不同組別。以第一組別(私家車及輕型貨車)為例,申請人須持有有效的私家車及輕型貨車(代碼 1 及 2)正式駕駛執照,並在緊接申請日期之前一直持有該等執照最少六年,該段持有期不包括暫准駕駛期。申請人亦須符合其他條件,例如在指定年期內沒有干犯指定的道路交通罪行。
資格組別與續領
私人駕駛教師執照按車輛種類分為不同組別,第一組別涵蓋私家車及輕型貨車,其他組別涵蓋輕型巴士、巴士或電單車。考試配額分為公開配額與駕駛教師配額,兩者資格要求略有差異。取得執照後方可教授學員,執照有效期為一年,須在到期前續領,並可申請私人駕駛教師識別牌;如擬教授其他車種,須另加簽相應組別。

What the job involves
Driving instructors teach private car, light goods vehicle or motorcycle driving on the training ground and on road, explain traffic rules and test requirements, and plan practice routes according to a learner's progress. They are also responsible for the vehicle's daily safety checks, lesson scheduling and helping learners manage nerves during lessons. Teaching has to serve both safety and test requirements. When problems arise on the road, the instructor must show the correct response at once, and lessons have to build a learner's confidence over time.
The gate: the private driving instructor's licence
The private driving instructor's licence is issued by the Transport Department and divided into groups. For Group 1 (private cars and light goods vehicles), an applicant must hold valid full driving licences for private cars and light goods vehicles (codes 1 and 2) and have held those licences for at least six years immediately before the application date, excluding the probationary driving period. Applicants must also meet other conditions, such as having no conviction for specified road traffic offences within a set period.
Licence groups and renewal
The private driving instructor's licence is divided by vehicle type: Group 1 covers private cars and light goods vehicles, while other groups cover light buses, buses or motorcycles. Examination quotas are split between a public quota and a driving instructor quota, with slightly different qualification requirements. Only after obtaining the licence may a person teach learners, and the licence must be renewed periodically; to teach other vehicle types, the relevant group must be added. Requirements and quotas are set out in the Transport Department's guidance notes.
