Frequently asked questions
How do I register?
Come to one of our branches in Berg am Laim or Sendling during opening hours. Bring your ID; we’ll go through everything else with you there. You can also call us beforehand or use the contact form.
Which languages can I learn in?
Theory lessons are held in German (Mon + Tue) and in Russian (Wed + Thu). We can also advise you in English and Ukrainian.
Can I take the theory test in Russian?
Yes. The theory test at TÜV (the official testing body) is offered in several languages, including Russian, English and Turkish.
Can I switch driving schools?
Yes, at any time. Bring the training record (Ausbildungsnachweis) from your previous driving school – theory and driving lessons you’ve already completed will count.
What do I need for my licence application?
A biometric passport photo, eye test, first aid certificate and ID. You submit the application to the Führerscheinstelle München (Munich driving licence office); when you register, we’ll tell you exactly what you need.
Do you run the first aid course yourselves?
Yes, as a one-day course with 9 teaching units for €70 – in German and in Russian. You’ll find the dates on the first aid course page.
How much does a driving licence cost?
The basic fee is €390, and a driving lesson costs €95. How many lessons you need varies from person to person. Every item is listed in the price list.
Can I learn in an automatic and still drive manual cars?
Yes, with code B197. You learn in an automatic and also do at least 10 lessons in a manual car. Find out more on the automatic driving licence page.
Do I have to convert my foreign driving licence?
A licence from a non-EU country is valid for six months after you move to Germany. After that, you need a German one. Which tests you need is explained on the licence conversion page.
When are you open?
Berg am Laim: Mon–Fri 10:00–12:30 and 13:00–18:00. Sendling: Mon–Fri 10:00–13:00 and 14:00–18:00. Both branches are closed at weekends.
How many theory lessons do I need?
For class B, 14 double lessons of 90 minutes each: 12 of core content and 2 of class-specific content. The number is different for other classes and extensions – we’ll tell you when you register.
Can I add the dates to my calendar?
Yes. For every theory lesson and first aid course date, “Save to calendar” downloads a calendar file (.ics) with exactly that date.
