Successfully passing the driving test

Here we explain all further steps. For example, how to book driving lessons, how to register for theory lessons or when you can attend our next first aid course.

How do i register?

First, go to our pricing page and select “Jetzt online starten”. Doing that, no contract is concluded yet and you can provide all other information later. You will then be guided step by step through our reservation system.
First confirm your email address to be able to fully use the system.
Then complete your data: duly fill out all fields.
Next you can enter your mobile phone number. We will then sent you a code via SMS that you can use to verify the phone number.
Select your desired location under “Schule auswählen”. You cannot change this later.
Via the home page of the system you can easily download our theory app, which you can use to study for the exam from anywhere. You can also download the telegram app for chatting with us.
Finally choose one of our packages.
As soon as you have decided on an option, you can book the first aid course. In case you have already attended one, you can skip this point. However, you need a certificate of the first aid course that you completed and have to submit it to your branch.
If you select “Profil”, you can monitor all your data. Here you can change your password, mobile phone number and email address later on. Further changes to your data must be made by our customer care.

How do I make bookings?

To book lessons and the first aid course you have 2 options: Firstly you can book directly via the corresponding fields on the home page. Once you have selected a package, respective options will be unlocked. Another option is to click on “Termine” to see the booking possibilities. There you find 4 calendars, which are divided as follows:

Theory lesson (Theoriestunde)
Practical lessons (Praxisunterricht)
Simulator lesson (Simulatorstunde)

By selecting the corresponding option you then can book either theory lessons, simulator lessons or the first aid course.

At both you can also request or accept appointments for the next driving lesson from your driving instructor.

To prepare for the theory classes it is important that you register online.

Booking of theory lessons

Select “Daten”, after that the orange “+” and then click on “Theoriestunde”. Now you get an overview of all the available theory lessons. To book a lesson, activate the check box next to the relevant date. You will then be forwarded automatically and be shown the selected lesson again. Finally, you have to confirm your selection by clicking on „verbindlich buchen“.

For the theoretical training you have to attend the basic and class-specific lessons. You can start your lessons as soon as you have selected and paid for your price package.

How many lessons do I have to attend?

The basic material comprises 12 double hours of 90 minutes each and 2 class-specific hours of 90 minutes each for the first acquisition of a driving licence class.
Before you can take the theoretical examination, your driving licence application must be submitted to the TÜV.
We will receive a message as soon as your test order is available and inform you about it.

To ensure this, we always need your current telephone number or address.

Before we allow you to take the exam, you should have studied sufficiently with our app.
A passed theory test is valid for 1 year. In these 12 months you have to pass the practical test, otherwise you will have to apply for a new driving licence.
You can take the theoretical exam at the earliest 3 months before reaching the minimum age. That means either 3 months before your 17th (BF17) or 3 months before your 18th birthday.

Important:

You cannot take an exam without a valid ID document.

Booking of driving lessons:

Open the booking system and select first “Termine buchen” and then “Praxisunterricht”. Here you can coordinate appointments with your driving instructor. You can either suggest appointments yourself or accept set appointments from your driving instructor.

Every Thursday, all the appointments from your driving instructor that are still available are listed in the system. These appointments can be booked directly – without further coordination with your driving instructor.

You can cancel a driving lesson up to 48 hours before the start of the driving lesson. If you cancel later, you get a notification from the system that costs are incurred that you have to confirm first.

How many driving lessons do i need?

You can start with the driving lessons as soon as you have participated in 5 theory lessons. Also we recommend to have completed 2 simulator lessons previously.

The practical lessons are divided into 2 types of driving lessons:

practice drives
special drives.

The number of prescribed special driving lessons for class B is 12 hours á 45 minutes.

In contrast to the special trips, the number of practice trips is not prescribed by law. They serve to introduce you to everything and make you familiar with everything. They also prepare you for the special trips. Even if the number of practice rides is not mandatory, you must be at a certain „level“ to complete the special rides.

On average, a student driver needs between 30 and 35 driving hours including special driving lessons. This, of course, varies from student to student.

You can take the practical exam at least 1 month before your 17th birthday.

Important:

You cannot take an exam without a valid ID document.

Since we are an online driving school, we offer you not only the possibility to register online, but you can also pay comfortably from home or on the road.

We also offer purchase on account and payment by EC card.

Payment with cash is also possible with us, via barzahlen.de. On the page about our payment methods you will find a detailed explanation.
