What are the education & training requirements to become a Lic. Driving Instructor in your state or country?

Question

I'm doing a class project on this profession. How many hours did you actually train in the car? In the classroom? Was it hard? How old do you have to be? What are the prerequisites? Any accidents? Any information about your experience of becoming or being a driving instructor would he extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance.
