Practical test
Learning to drive
In 3 steps you prepare for the practical test for driving licence BYou must be at least 18 years old and have practised for 5 months to take the test.
Learning to drive through a driving school
With basic training from a driving instructor, you'll take a flying start towards your driving licence. You can choose between a basic course of 6 hours of practical lessons (‘Starter Stan’) or the more thorough 12-hour version (‘Essential Emma’). After that, you can continue practising independently with your own tutor.
Want to hit the road independently as soon as possible? Then opt for the intensive driving course of 20 hours of practical lessons (‘Master Mo’), which allows you to practise on your own without a tutor after obtaining your provisional driving licence (from 18 years of age).
Just need extra guidance in practising a specific skill? That's possible too!
As there are many more cars with automatic transmission nowadays, we also offer all the packages for this kind of car.
