No SPM? no problem! government creates path to become driving instructor

Looking for a career change or a new opportunity in the driving industry? The Malaysian government recently announced a programme that could be perfect for you! In an effort to address a shortage of instructors at driving schools nationwide, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) is now allowing individuals without Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) qualifications to take the Driving School Instructors' Certificate (SPIM) course.

This is a great chance to enter a stable and rewarding field. If you're passionate about road safety and have a knack for teaching, this could be your chance to make a difference. But before you hit the brakes on your car selling journey (we'll get to that in a moment), let's take a look at the details of the programme:

• Programme Dates: The programme is open for applications from July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, only. So, if you're interested, act fast!
• Eligibility: Anyone without an SPM certificate can apply.
• Training: Selected applicants will undergo a two-week intensive course at the JPJ Academy in Melaka.
