For efficient training, we recommend at least 2 driving appointments (90 minutes each) per week.

Practical training

Training lesson

  • The first training lessons take place on a practice area. The practice area is located near the driving school.
     
  • During the training lessons, you will practise the basic driving tasks and driving in the city.
     
  • The number of training lessons is not specified in the learner driver training regulations and is therefore carried out individually depending on the learner driver's level of ability.
     
  • The number of training lessons expected in order to pass the exam cannot be precisely predicted at the start of training.
     
  • Without prior knowledge (but previous possession class B), the average is approx. 5 - 6 driving appointments (90 minutes each).
     
  • Provided that the tips “Reduce the number of practice drives” under Practical training have been followed.
     
  • However, depending on your level of ability, you may need fewer or more training lessons.
