Instructor course PPL, is it possible?

[spacemen]

Is it possible to have the PPL and then make the instructor course, just to be able to give "classes" only in this type?

Or you really need to have the ATPL?

[NovemberWhiskyLima]

I don't think you need ATPL. A CPL should suffice.

Most places would list CPL as minimum criteria for CFI course.

If you think like an airman and have some concern for safety you wouldn't think of giving instructions straight from a PPL and CFI course because you yourself wouldn't be proficient enough.

Your going to have to state which jurisdiction you will be training under.

Under easa the is no requirement to hold a cpl never mind atpl.

[lasseb]

Under easa :
To do any instruction for a ppl you need at least ppl,fi and CPL theory..
To do any instruction for a LAPL you need at least ppl and fi, but no other theory

Not quite as easy as that....
