SA Licensing & Regulator Assessment
Does completing TLI41225 automatically give me a South Australian MDI licence?
No. The qualification and the South Australian Motor Driving Instructor licensing process are separate. Applicants must satisfy the current SA Government licensing requirements.
What is the South Australian MDI pathway after the qualification?
The pathway includes eligibility requirements, the required Certificate IV, the MDI theory test, application and supporting documents, the government Regulator Assessment when directed, and a licensing decision. Always check the current SA Government MDI licensing requirements.

Yes. DAA provides preparation, coaching and practical training focused on capabilities such as professional driving, observation, risk awareness, communication and instruction.
Does DAA conduct the official government Regulator Assessment?
No. DAA is not the regulator and does not conduct the official South Australian Government Regulator Assessment. DAA provides preparation and coaching only, and no assessment or licensing outcome is guaranteed.
