Frequently asked questions about class B
The total cost is made up of fixed fees (registration, test fees, mandatory drives) and a variable number of driving lessons. For a personal cost estimate, simply give us a call or send us a message. The actual number of driving lessons depends on your previous experience and how quickly you progress.
The duration varies depending on your previous experience and how often you take driving lessons. On average, students should expect 3 to 6 months. If you drive regularly 2 to 3 times a week, you will often reach your goal faster.
To register with us, your ID card or passport is all you need, so you can start your training straight away. For your licence application you will then need a valid eye test (from an optician or eye doctor) and a first aid certificate (9 lesson course). We are happy to help you get all the documents together.
Class B training requires 12 special drives of 45 minutes each: 5 country road drives, 4 motorway drives and 3 night drives. These special drives prepare you perfectly for a wide range of driving situations.
Yes, we offer training in class B78 (automatic) in modern automatic cars. Your licence will then be valid for vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
