LICENSE INSTRUCTOR / LICENSE EXAMINER —
COMPLETE EXAM SOLUTIONS (2025/2026)
Introduction
The Army License Instructor (LI) and License Examiner (LE) qualification certifies Non-
Commissioned Officers to conduct standardized driver training and testing per AR 600-
55. LIs plan, teach, and remediate; LEs evaluate, test, and license. Both roles ensure
every Soldier-operator meets Army driver standards, reduces accident risk, and
maintains equipment readiness. This study set mirrors the FY22 1st Quarter exam
structure and 2025/2026 doctrinal updates to guarantee mastery and first-time
excellence.

B. DA Form 348, earplugs, fuel card
C. DD Form 518, accident card, ear pro
D. Only a digital tablet
Answer: A. DA Form 348-1E, score sheet, pen, and current 9-line medical profile

clearance. Earplugs, fuel cards, or accident forms are not testing prerequisites.
Question 4:

C. Schedule the Soldier for a new full road test within 7 days
D. Remove the Soldier from all driver duties permanently
Answer: B. Conduct on-the-spot remediation and retest the same day
Rationale: AR 600-55 encourages immediate remediation for minor, correctable errors;
retest may occur after coaching.

May and passes the LE test on 20 May. The new permit expiration date is:
A. 31 May current year

station?
A. Engine oil level
