Driving licence with an instruction permit

You can also obtain a passenger car driving licence with an instruction permit, which means that one of the student’s parents, for example, will act as the driving instructor. Obtaining a driving licence with an instruction permit requires the student to complete the studies required by law in a driving school in addition to independent training.

Statutory driving school courses for instruction permit students

Instruction permit instruction courses at a driving school include the training for candidates for first driving licences (EAS) and risk recognition training (RTK).

*The EAS training is not mandatory if the student already has a driving licence, such as a moped or light motorcycle licence.

Risk recognition training (RTK)

314

You can also pay in installments

In risk recognition training (RTK), half of the driving lessons are driven with the driving school’s car and half with a driving simulator (slippery road conditions and driving in the dark). Risk recognition training is also known as risk training. Theory exam training and textbook included.

You can choose the risk recognition training without EAS training if you already have a previous driving licence (such as a moped or light motorcycle licence)
