Wrong....
To instruct for the PPL you will need to have passed the CPL exams whether or not you wish to receive remuneration.
For the LAPL(A) (not the LAPL(H)), you don't need to have passed the CPL exams and you may be paid.
You may also instruct as a PPL/CRI without needing to have passed the CPL exams and be paid. So you could teach both ab initio LAPL(A) students as a PPL/FI and qualified licence holders as a PPL/CRI without having passed the CPL exams.
As a suitably-qualified CRI will also be permitted to instruct for the Aerobatic Rating, to teach aerobatics to PPL holders you would need to hold a CRI certificate if you hadn't passed the CPL exams because you couldn't do so as an FI!
Wonderful stuff, this €urocracy......NOT!

I may or may not understand all this euro nonsense by they time they change it all again, to what who knows ? But hopefully we may get to discuss something relating to actual flying rather than the euro rule book.

To paraphrase from 1178/2011
FCL 205A PPL(A) privileges. If instructor/examiner privileges are held, remuneration can be paid for instructing/examining, re. LAPL(A) and PPL(A).
However FCL 915 states that if a PPL(A) is held, a prerequisite for an FI certificate (rating) is "CPL knowledge" for PPL(A) training/examining, but not required for LAPL(A) training/examining.
On the same subject, one of my recent e mails to the CAA asked if I could assume PPL privileges c/o my ATPL, maintain my medical as Class2, and be paid for instructing and examining at PPL level, as per EASA.(see other posts) The answer was basically yes. The quote was ORS 4 896, plus other references to FCL205 and FCL1000. But they also point out that until Sept17, the status quo of JAR FCL and LASORS remains.
