Duration of training
REGULAR TRAINING OR INTENSIVE COURSE – YOUR TIMELINE
- If you do not hold a licence in another class, the minimum duration with intensive participation is 5 weeks for the theoretical training and 2 weeks for the practical training (with an average number of driving lessons required). A longer, regular timeframe is possible at any time.
- If you already hold another license category, the minimum duration with intensive participation is 3 weeks for the theoretical lessons and 1 week for the practical training (with an average number of driving lessons required). A longer, regular time frame is possible at any time.
- You may also take driving lessons before attending the theoretical training.
- You can use the FAHREN LERNEN app to book as many driving lessons (90 minutes each) per day and per week as you like.

Exam Approval & Exam Dates: Allow for These Waiting Times
- While your exam authorisation is being processed by the driver licensing authority, you are already allowed to start the theoretical lessons and your driving appointments (driving lessons).
- From the time you apply for your exam authorisation (driver’s license application) at the driver licensing authority until your practical exam, it takes approximately 14–20 weeks:
- approx. 8–12 weeks processing time by the driver licensing authority to issue your exam authorisation
- approx. 2 weeks advance time to book your theoretical exam at the TÜV Süd exam center
- approx. 4–6 weeks advance time to book your practical exam at the TÜV Süd exam center. The practical exam may be taken no earlier than 2 weeks after the theoretical exam.
