NY Driving Instructor case studies
NY Driving Instructor · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The New York Driving Instructor Certification is the credential a person needs to provide driving instruction for hire through a licensed New York State driving school. The DMV's Bureau of Driver Training Programs oversees driving schools and their instructors, and a driving school instructor certificate must be valid whenever an instructor is providing instruction for a driving school. This independent study page is organized around the four topics the certification exam is built on: the requirements to become a certified driving school instructor; renewal of a driving school instructor certificate using form MV-524; certification of driving school instructor test results using form DTP-424; and the Self-Certification Program for driving schools, which allows select licensed driving schools to conduct qualifying tests for instructors the school wants to hire and to conduct the 30-hour basic instructor course, with form DTP-160 used by qualifying schools to apply. Expect multiple-choice questions that test whether you know which form belongs to which process, which party (DMV, school, or instructor) is responsible at each step, and the sequence in which requirements and certifications are satisfied. The NY Driving Instructor case studies are 5 cases and about 1,766 words.
