You train for an FI(A) rating, Flight instructor (Aeroplane).
On first qualification, that rating is restricted in its privilages.
No first solo send-offs, day or night.
No first solo navigation send-offs, day or night.
Must be supervised by an unrestricted instructor.
On reaching a certain level of experience that restriction is lifted.
25 solo send-offs (subsequent)
100hrs total instruction time.
LASORS or JAR-FCL subpart H details this more accurately.

DD is absolutely correct in every respect but if I may I will offer some advice.
The internet makes it very easy just to go on the web ask a question and get an answer. This time the answer is is right. A lot of stuff that is put on on these forums is tosh, and often the usefulness of the information is inversely proportional to the thread length.
A far better question to ask would be "where can I find out etc etc". You are directed, in this case you go to LASORS and in addition to getting the answer, you learn to use LASORs a publication of great use as an instructor.
Now when it comes down to teaching a student, I use the approach where I direct the student to where the information is, we discuss it and I then discover whether they understand what they have learnt or are just repeating what they have read.
Just giving the answer does very little to help a student learn. It just makes a student less self reliant or even lazy.

LASORS is a fine example of how not to communicate important information. Setting aside the fact that the CAA cannot manage to keep the thing up to date (it's now two years old), even when LASORS 2008 was first published, it was so packed with errors and misinformation that it was an utterly useless document. The only truly reliable source of licensing information is JAR-FCL and , since the UK CAA is so far behind behind the drag curve, they have been forced to provide a complete copy on their website - JAR-FCL1 and JAR-FCL2

There are various releases of JAR FCL. The version that the UK uses is amendment 5 which has the relevant parts incorporated into the ANO. The last release of JAR FCL I think was either 7 or 8 without looking. Other countries used later versions.
