Do I need ATPL Groundschool to become an instructor?

Would like to become an instructor, to gain aviation experience/knowledge, before progressing my career in aviation. Do I need to do my ATPL Ground school/exams to become an instructor?

I have a PPL, I understand I need a CPL IR with Instructor rating. Is this correct?

Many thanks

:)

In order to instruct you need to have passed CPL groundschool and have 200 hours before completing an instructor course.

You do not need ATPL knowledge, a CPL or an IR however, if you only have a PPL you cannot be remunerated.

The CPL groundschool is not as readily available as the ATPL groundschool because the demand is less however, courses are now available.
