Your Path to an Austrian Driving License
Phase 1: Getting Started
Your journey begins with comprehensive theory training designed to prepare you for confident and safe driving. The process unfolds in several key steps:
Theoretical class: First, you'll complete a basic course of 20 training units, covering fundamental road traffic regulations. This is followed by a specialized Course B with 12 additional training units that dive deeper into specific driving requirements.
Our English-language course is structured across eight modules, running Monday to Thursday from 16:00 to 19:40.
The theoretical exam is a computer-based test that will prepare you for your practical driving skills. After completing our comprehensive course, you'll be ready to take this step. To support your preparation, we provide a dedicated mobile app that makes studying convenient and effective.
Practical driving lessons form the next crucial part of your training. You'll need a minimum of 18 lessons, though the exact number depends on your individual progress. Driving lessons are scheduled flexibly to fit your personal timetable.
Your practical driving test is the final step where you'll demonstrate the skills you've learned and become a licensed driver.

Your Driving Training Pathways
We understand that every learner is unique. That's why we offer flexible training options to help you become a confident driver.
Our standard training path involves a comprehensive program of 18 professional driving lessons with our certified instructors. This approach ensures you receive thorough, structured guidance from start to finish.
For those seeking a more personalized approach, we offer an alternative training method. You can complete 12 professional driving lessons with our instructors and then complement your training by driving an additional 1,000 km with a licensed companion. This companion must have held a valid driver's license for at least seven years and maintained a clean traffic record during that time.
If you find you need more practice beyond our standard lessons, we provide an L-Plate option. This allows you to continue your training without the additional 1,000 km driving requirement, giving you the flexibility to build your skills at your own pace.
Our team is dedicated to helping you find the most effective route to obtaining your driving license. We'll work with you to choose a training path that matches your learning style, schedule, and personal needs.
