What happens on a risk training (RTK) course

1. Sign up for risk training

Sign up for the risk recognition training.

You will receive instructions and credentials for the learning environment in your e-mail the next day at the latest. After this, we will call you to go through the basic guidelines and agree how to schedule the driving lessons.

Right after registration, it is advisable to install the CAP app on your phone. The CAP app will guide you through the course, and you can use it to book driving lessons.

2. Complete the online theory and simulator lessons

Driving school always kicks off with theory lessons. Online lessons are spoken in Finnish and subtitled in English.

All theory classes are conducted remotely, as online training. Log in to the learning environment with credentials that we always send no later than the day after registration. In the learning environment, you also practice for the theory test.

We will book simulator lessons after your registration. You will receive a text message confirmation with the lesson pin code. With the PIN code, you can unlock the remotely monitored simulator space and start the simulator. Lessons progress by following the instructions given by the simulator. If necessary, you can get help remotely from the simulator control crew and during open hours also from the on-site staff. We will book these after your registration.

3. Taking your driving lessons

The course includes two (2) driving lessons in a driving school car. The training develops your ability to recognize and avoid dangerous traffic situations and factors that can increase the risk of an accident by impairing the driver’s driving ability. If a driving practice track is available in your location, you can do track practice for slippery conditions for an additional fee. You can confirm this with your local CAP Driving School.

4. Certificate

Once the course sections have been completed and the course fee has been paid, you can print out the certificate from your learning environment. If you complete your driving lessons after the theory lessons, you can also ask the instructor for the certificate.

Deliver the certificate to Ajovarma when taking the driving test or renewing an existing driving licence.
