1Practical: learning to drive

Your practical training involves at least 9 hours of lessons at the driving school. Here you will learn the manoeuvres and we will take you on public roads afterwards.


After taking 9 hours of practical lessons, once you pass your practical test, you will have your provisional driving licence to continue practising for part 2 on public roads. If you opt for 12 hours of practical lessons and pass the test, then you will have your permanent driving licence immediately.


Please note: the cost of the test is not included in the coaching.

Practical: results

Passed?

Congratulations! You have obtained your driving licence A1. Go to the municipal administration with the ‘driving licence application’ form you received at the test centre.

Failed? 

Too bad, that can happen. Analyse where you went wrong and focus on this. Practise well before making another attempt.

Failed twice? 

Then you are required to take 2 hours of practical lessons. After taking these lessons, you will receive a certificate from us. Take it with you the next time you go for the practical test.

Provisional driving licence expired? 

You can only obtain your driving licence through the driving school. Your recommended route greatly depends on your personal situation. It is therefore best to contact a driving school office.
