The person who performs the duties of a train driver's instructor is a certified driver in accordance with the procedures specified in Regulation No. 873, who meets all the requirements for a driver, and who has the appropriate practical skills for driving a train. Chapter VIII of Regulation No. 873 determines the requirements for train driver training, where one of the training options is the training conducted by the train driver's instructor.

The railway undertaking, shunter or railway infrastructure manager determines the management of train driver's instructor qualifications and competence (including selection criteria, training, qualification and competence requirements, maintenance and supervision of competence, examination of practical skills, issuance of a document certifying competence, validity period of the issued document, documentation management) in the safety management system.

A person whose professional competence is certified by a previously issued and valid certificate of train driver's instructor competence, issued by the State Railway Technical Inspection, is valid until the expiry of this certificate.
