I am trying to fill in an application for a photocard driving licence since i changed my address, and in section 5 "signing your photograph" there is a bit that asks for the name and profession of someone who knows me, but at the bottom it asks for qualifications and i dont know what to put for this?

I believe (if it's like the passport) you need to get it signed by a "professional", so the name of the qualification they did to get to that status should be acceptable. What does it say in the notes with the application?

What so you mean like degree or A-level or something like that?

if it's qualifications for signing the photo it needs to be someone like me, DSA ADI (driving instructor) someone like a policeman, teacher etc... someone "professional" as stated above, I think there's a list of acceptable people on the forms somewhere....

Whatever the main qualification, or professional body registration, is that enables them to do their job. GMC registration number for a Dr for example.

Yeah, I suspect it's just something to prove they're a qualified professional, eg B.Ed for teachers (I think)...

http://www.dvla.gov.uk/drivers/photocard_licences.htm#8 shows a list of people acceptable....

Yeah I saw that, but it already asked for his profession. Anyway, I've sent it off now

normally anyone with letters after their name will suffice.

They never check anyway.

I'm a nurse can i sign these things then?

A Chartered Engineer can also sign it. I've signed a couple for people and they have been accepted ok!
