Frequently Asked Questions
That’s a common question. It depends on various factors and also varies by license class, including the processing time of the licensing authority, your availability, financial situation, and individual learning pace.
This is also a common question and, like the duration of the training, depends on various factors and varies by license class. Our office can provide you with a non-binding estimate, but please note that there is no fixed price. It will give you a rough overview, but the final cost will depend on various factors.
- Copy of ID card (and driver's license, if it's an extension)
- Current vision test (not older than 1 year) in original (for categories C1, C1E, C, CE, D, DE, a medical certificate is required)
- First aid course certificate
For accompanied driving at 17, you also need:
- Consent from legal guardians (including copies of their IDs)
- Details of the accompanying person(s) (including copies of their ID and driver's license)
Feel free to contact our office under the following conditions:
- You have completed the minimum number of theory lessons.
- Your documents have been fully processed by the traffic authority, and you have received an invoice from the TÜV.
- You have completed the App modules.
- You feel well-prepared and confident.
In this case, we will schedule a trial exam. If you pass with a maximum of 5 errors, we can then schedule an appointment for the official theory test with the TÜV for you.
Your driving instructor will register you for the practical test once you have successfully passed the theory exam and met the required practical training content and objectives.
The minimum age varies depending on the license category. For a car license (Category B/B197/B78), the minimum age is 18 years, or 17 years for accompanied driving. You can register for the respective license class six months before reaching the minimum age. You may take the theory test three months before reaching the minimum age and the practical test one month before. To learn more, visit the ‘Services’ section for the specific license category.
Yes, safety is a top priority for us. Therefore, the following gear must be worn during practical driving lessons:
- motorcycle helmet (not a jet helmet)
- motorcycle jacket (with back protector)
- motorcycle pants (with protectors)
- motorcycle shoes (ankle-high)
- Motorcycle gloves with knuckle protection (not regular gloves like winter gloves).
Initially, the first invoice must be paid upfront. After that, we use a prepaid system. To schedule practical driving lessons, you’ll need to add credit to your account. You can keep track of your balance in the app, and if it runs low, you can easily top it up. Any remaining balance at the end of your training will be refunded.
The B197 driver’s license category is ideal if you prefer automatic cars but want the option to drive manual ones as well. You’ll need to complete at least 10 driving hours of 45 minutes each in a manual car and take a 15-minute test drive at the driving school. You can, however, take the practical test in an automatic vehicle. Click here to learn more
This varies based on your skill and how quickly you pick up and apply what you've learned, as everyone learns at their own pace. The number of hours needed for special driving sessions depends on the driver’s license class.
When taking your first driver’s license test, you can have up to 10 error points, but not two instances of 5 points each. For upgrading to the next license class, the limit is 6 error points. For mopeds, it’s 7 error points.
It’s important to sign up as soon as possible. Just give us a call to schedule an appointment at our office.
That was only available during the COVID-19 restrictions. We are now fully back to in-person classes and look forward to seeing you face-to-face again.
Sure! However, we recommend submitting all your documents soon after registering, as processing with the traffic authority can take some time. This way, everything can proceed smoothly.
When you’ve successfully passed your theory test and added credit to your account.
(Exception: It is also possible to begin driving lessons earlier if a slot is available, but you should have already submitted all required documents and completed approximately half of your theory lessons.)

- Details of the accompanying person(s) (including copies of their ID and driver's license)
