No, He will need to be added to your policy at extra cost....

You will need to notify your insurance company that your son wants to learn to drive. He will need a provisional licence, and it could well be that your insurance company will want additional cover.
You don't say how old your son is. Rates go down a lot after the age of 25 - son, not the car - so if he's prepared to wait that long it could save him/you thousands if he's only in his teens now.
While he is learning to drive, he is not allowed out on the road without the supervision of a qualified driver; doesn't matter who it is as long as they are also permitted to drive your car under the terms of your insurance policy.
Your insurance policy should tell you more; if it's ambiguous or unclear make sure you have clarification from your insurers.
When he's passed his test, although they aren't legally enforcable, I do think that the green 'P' plates on the car warning other road users that your boy has just passed his test and is not an experienced driver are well worth having.

You must first insure the vehicle for your son to drive as a learner with L plates (to be displayed only when he is driving and you are in the passenger seat/remove them when you are driving). He must also have avalid provisional licence. You must be a full licence holder for the vehicle you are teaching him in and must have held it for 3 years minimum...you also have to be 21 or above!!!

call your insurer and put his name on for 7 days only othrerwise it can cost a pcket, most insurers will do this for nothing some charge a small fee, but when the 7 days are up it will be a few months before you can do it again, i think 3 times a year, teach him to drive within the 7 days then send him off to a school for the finer details and test readiness

NO NO NO! you MUST inform your insurers and pay an extra premium. Just because it may say any driver doesn't include young learners

Your son needs to be insured too.

Yes as long as you hold a valid licence and are over 25. Think he has to have a provisional licence too.
