Driving school training duration: regular or intensive
Without prior possession of another class the minimum duration with intensive participation is 5 weeks for theoretical instruction and 2 weeks for practical training (with average driving lesson requirements). A longer, regular timeframe is possible at any time.
With prior possession of another class the minimum duration with intensive participation is 3 weeks for theoretical instruction and 1 week for practical training (with average driving lesson requirements). A longer, regular timeframe 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.
Check the availability of driving lessons, possible driving lesson times and offered language → Practical Training
Processing time for the exam authorization from the driver licensing authority / Availability of exams at TÜV Süd exam centers
While your exam authorization 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 authorization (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 authorization
- 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.
Theoretical lessons are available immediately, 3 times a week in the evenings.
You decide for yourself whether and how often per week, as well as at which of our locations, you would like to take part in the theoretical lessons. Our flexible theory system helps you to do this. This way, you can shape the duration of your training entirely at your own pace.
Not necessary for class BE, upgrading to class A2 / A or converting a foreign driving licence.
Book as many driving lessons per day and per week as you like with the FAHREN LERNEN app. This way, you can shape the duration of your training entirely at your own pace.

You can take driving lessons even if you have not yet taken part in theory lessons.
We recommend training on our drive easy simulators before your driving lessons in real road traffic → drive easy simulators
After you have successfully passed your theory exam, we can request the availability of a practical exam appointment for you at the TÜV Süd testing center.
If the available exam appointment suits you, we will be happy to book it for you.
You can take the practical exam at the earliest 2 weeks after the theoretical exam.
