Finwitch:

Now, I think they have a theory test - and practical test, and one 
can't take the practical test unless they've passed the theory 
(including some sort of 'traffic' rules etc.)

And I do believe there are professional Apparation teachers, but that 
parents can also teach...

Well, just thinking that - with all the adults among Weasleys 
(possibly excluding Percy), they could teach Ron, Harry & Hermione. I 
suppose lessons can start early, (after OWLs?) but you're to take the 
test after (or as) you turn 17. (Meaning it gets to wait until book 
7).
 
Also, Hogwarts, A History says one *can't* disapparate from Hogwarts 
grounds - not that it's forbidden. (And Dumbledore doesn't do so when 
Fudge tried to arrest him - and I'd say that flying off with Fawkes 
is much more impressive-looking than just disappearing! - and AD 
could have pretended to disapparate, but only become invisible...)
