satisfactory driving record. An unsatisfactory record includes, but is not
limited to, two (2) moving violations in the past twelve (12) months, or

03.
Medical
Certificate. A driving instructor licensee may not provide in-vehicle
instruction to students if the instructor suffers from a medical condition that
may impair the instructor's ability to safely instruct student drivers. Each
applicant for an instructor's license must obtain a medical examination
performed by a licensed medical professional. The examination must be completed
within two (2) years preceding the application. A driving instructor licensee
must obtain a new medical certificate every two (2) years and annually certify
compliance with these requirements. The applicant must submit a medical
examiner's certificate, issued and signed by a licensed, qualified medical
professional. If a medical condition exists, the applicant must re-certify as
the medical professional requires and submit that information to the Board.

04.
Instructor
Apprenticeship Training Program. Applicants for licensure must
demonstrate to the Board's satisfaction that they have successfully completed
all required classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training hours from a
Board-approved instructor apprenticeship training program. The applicant must
have undertaken and completed the apprenticeship training program within the
five (5) year period immediately preceding the application. (3-28-23)
a. Proof of successful completion must
include written certificate from a Board-approved apprenticeship training
program certifying that the applicant has satisfactorily completed the program.
(3-28-23)
b. A person may not
enroll in an apprenticeship training program unless the person has applied for,
paid for, and obtained an apprenticeship permit from the Board. The applicant
must apply on Board-approved forms, which must identify the applicant and the
business licensee in whose approved apprenticeship training program the
applicant will be enrolled. The individual applicant must establish that they
are at least twenty-one (21) years old. An apprenticeship permit automatically
expires one (1) year after issuance. The Board also may suspend or revoke an
apprenticeship permit, and refuse to issue another permit, if the permittee
engages in any act or omission that would subject the permittee to discipline
if the permittee had an instructor's license. No one may be a permittee for
more than three (3) years. (3-28-23)

Waiver of Instructor Apprenticeship
Training Program. An applicant is entitled to a waiver of the
apprenticeship training program if they provide proof to the Board that they
possess the requisite training and experience requirements as set forth below:
(3-28-23)
a. An applicant who has held within
the past five (5) years an active and unrestricted public driver education
instructor license issued by the Idaho State Department of Education and has
completed eight (8) hours of continuing education within the prior year or an
individual who has completed the Idaho State Department of Education driving
instructor program within the past five (5) years and has completed eight (8)
hours of continuing education within the prior year qualifies for a waiver of
the apprenticeship training program requirement. (3-28-23)
