Körinstruktörsbehörighet

Körinstruktörsbehörighet refers to the official authorization required to work as a driving instructor in Sweden. To obtain this authorization, individuals must meet specific requirements set by the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen).

The primary requirement is to have a valid driving license for the category of vehicles they intend to teach. For example, to teach car driving, a Class B driving license is necessary. In addition to holding the appropriate license, applicants must have a certain level of driving experience. The exact duration of experience varies depending on the vehicle category.

Furthermore, prospective driving instructors must pass theoretical and practical tests designed to assess their knowledge of traffic laws, road safety, teaching methodologies, and vehicle handling. They also need to demonstrate good personal conduct, which typically involves a background check to ensure they have no relevant criminal convictions.

The authorization is granted for a limited period and requires renewal. Renewal usually involves demonstrating continued competence, possibly through further training or assessments, and maintaining a good record. The purpose of körinstruktörsbehörighet is to ensure that driving instructors are well-qualified, knowledgeable, and capable of safely and effectively training new drivers, thereby contributing to road safety.
