How do I become a driving instructor?

I'd like to become a driving instructor, independent. Could you tell me the cheapest way?

You can read about the steps you need to take to become a driving instructor on the government website here: www.gov.uk/become-car-driving-instructor There are also a number of driving schools that can support you during your training, and this can be a cheaper option compared to being completely independent.
