Age before able to instruct PPL/IR/ME?

[Danny_manchester]

Hi, is it possible to get an instructor rating after each qualification, eg after obtaining a PPL, can i get a rating which would allow me to teach PPL's?

After PPL and MEL, would i be able to get a MEI rating?

Or would one have to be the holder of a valid CPL/IR? If so, i believe the age is 18 years to hold a CPL/IR, after the FI ratings, could i instruct in the UK?

thanks people, sorry if its here, but i cannot find anything on this.
