Inderjeet Kaur, 29, from Llanelli, has pleaded guilty to sitting approximately 150 theory and practical driving tests for other learners.
Kaur has admitted to having been involved in the scam between 2018 and 2020.
Swansea Crown Court was told how Kaur had committed these offences in England and Wales and had hindered hundreds of learners taking their driving lessons in London, Birmingham, Swansea and Carmarthen.
Detectives launched an investigation in South Wales after a referral from the Driving and Vehicles Standards Agency when examiners became concerned she was impersonating genuine candidates.
The investigation found that Kaur was offering these services to learner drivers that struggled with the English Language.
Kaur pleaded guilty at Swansea Crown Court and has been jailed for eight months.
Detective Chief Inspector Steven Maloney, who led the investigation, said: “The crimes Kaur committed circumvent the driving test process and, in turn, puts innocent road users at risk by allowing unskilled and dangerous motorists to have seemingly legitimate licences.
“Safety on our roads has always been a priority, and arresting those that flaunt the law ensures that we can keep unqualified drivers off the road.
“By working with the DVSA, this complex criminal investigation highlighted the extent of Kaur’s offending, which was purely out of greed.
“Frauds such as these pose significant risks to the general public, and I urge any members of the public with information on such crimes to report them to the police.”
Caroline Hicks, from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, added: “DVSA’s priority is to protect everyone from unsafe drivers and vehicles.
“Driving and theory tests exist to help ensure people have the correct knowledge, skills and attitude to drive on our roads.
“Circumventing the tests puts lives in danger, we have methods in place to detect test fraud, and it will come down hard on the people involved.
“This includes cancelling test passes that have been gained fraudulently.”
