Passenger car course process 

Check out our diverse range of driving courses and choose a suitable one for you. Our customer service can also help you choose the best course for you.

After registering and choosing a payment method, you will receive an email with your login credentials to our e-learning environment, and you can start your theory studies right away.

We recommend that you apply for a driving licence permit from Ajovarma immediately after signing up. You can apply online or at Ajovarma’s office. See how to apply for a driving licence permit here.

Driving school always kicks off with theory studies. All theory lessons are carried out online, so you can complete them when it suits you best. The online theory lessons consist of a written section, instructional videos, pictures and practice exercises (i.e. level tests). Online lessons are spoken in Finnish and subtitled in English.

There are a total of eight theory lessons, but if you already have a previous driving licence (e.g. a moped licence), there are only four theory lessons.

Your first driving lessons will also be booked for you in connection with the theory studies. The lessons will be carried out in either a passenger car or adriving simulator, depending on the course.

At the start of your driving lessons, you will get a designated instructor. Your first driving lesson will be booked together with your driving instructor.

Driving simulator lessons

Usually the first driving lessons are done with a driving simulator, so that you can get to know the controls of a car and the basics of driving. The first simulator lesson will be completed with the help of an instructor and the rest with the help of a control room. Learn more about our driving simulators.

Driving lessons

Driving lessons are always performed in an actual car. In the first driving lesson, you will start with the basics with your driving instructor and get to know the vehicle on a practical level. The driving instruction progresses according to your own development. The number of driving lessons depends on the content of the selected course package, but the minimum number of driving lessons required by law is 14. You can also purchase additional driving lessons if you and your driving instructor feel that they are necessary.

Driving in slippery road conditions and in the dark

Practising driving in the dark is always carried out with a driving simulator.

You can book your theory test after you have completed all the theory lessons and level assignments and submitted an application for a driving licence permit. See how to apply for a driving licence permit here.

You can book the theory test either by visiting the Ajovarma website or by calling Ajovarma’s customer service, tel. 029 534 5115.

More information on preparing for the theory test and the content of the test is available here (ajokortti-info.fi).

The driving school always books your driving test for you. The driving test can be taken after you have passed the theory test and have completed all the driving lessons on your chosen course package (at least 14 driving lessons required by law). 

More information on preparing for the driving test and the content of the test is available here.

The driving school concludes with an approved driving test, which grants you a driving licence. If you fail the driving test, you can take additional driving lessons from your driving instructor before retaking the test.
