How to become a Flying Instructor!

Good evening one and all,

My name is Nathan, I've been using this forum for some while and until recently I have been posting in the Military Aircrew/Rotorheads and Air Traffic Control forums.

My dream is to fly for a living, as I am sure it is for many of you on this forum.

So, as the title reads, I'm looking at trying to become a FI(A) within the next couple of years, and even though I work part-time at a Flying School, I am still not 100% sure on what I need to do.

Do you need a CPL - ATPL (A) to become a Flying Instructor or could you simply do your (N)PPL, do your IR and other ratings and then do a FI course?

I hope I don't sound ignorant in anyway, I'm just keen and it's something I have always wanted to do.

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards.
