How it works

When can I start?
You can register at any time. Training itself starts at the earliest 6 months before you reach the minimum age for your licence class.
What do I need?
To register, just bring your ID or passport. We will explain everything else in person.
How do theory lessons work?
You can join at any time. Each lesson runs 90 minutes and covers one of 14 topics, and the order is freely selectable.
How long does it take?
Normally most students take 3–6 months, in the intensive course about 3 weeks. You can sit the theory exam up to 3 months before your birthday and the practical exam 1 month before.

The classes we train

Alongside each licence class you can see the minimum age at which you may drive. But you can start working towards your licence six months before that.
