I'm pretty sure you have to be over 21.

"You must be over 21 and have held a full clean licence for the appropriate vehicle for at least 3 years - if you hold a licence for an automatic, then you can't teach on a manual gear box. You must have appropriate insurance on the vehicle and display L plates front and rear whilst the learner is driving. And you must have endless patience and nerves of steel. It looks easier than it is but you have to avoid the pitfall of trying to drive the car for her because of your own nerves. Driving instructors who find it easy have loads of experience and of course dual controls."

It's also on the DVLA website. It's amazing what you can find on there, would never think to look there for information regarding driving licences!

What if you've held some sort of licence for 19 years but it has never been clean?
