Diploma in Driver Education (DipDE)

The Diploma in Driver Education is an industry-based vocational qualification that consists of five modules on the various aspects of a driver trainer’s role. These range from knowing legal obligations and regulations, business knowledge, a good understanding on mechanical and vehicle technology aspects, driving theory and teaching knowledge.

£480.00

About the course

The Diploma in Driver Education is the result of an overhauled Diploma in Driving Instruction. The DipDI was a long-standing, industry-recognised qualification that was a popular choice with driver trainers and was rebranded the DipDE to better reflect the nature of the qualification.

Four modules are now delivered as research-based online awards with unlimited tutorial support. To complete the teaching module, candidates will need to complete a teaching qualification such as the Award in Education and Training, which has replaced PTLLS.

Alternatively, candidates must provide a valid PTLLS certificate (5 years old or less), or other teaching qualification under recognised prior learning. You also have the option of providing a valid coaching qualification as an alternative to teaching. If this is something that you wish to do, you must check with us to see if your qualification will be accepted
