• The training for candidates for first driving licenses (EAS), is compulsory for all who are applying for a driving license for the first time.
• The instruction includes 4 hours of theory training on the basic rules of traffic.
• The purpose of this training is to provide the person applying for a driving license with basic information about the road traffic system, vehicle interaction and risks, factors affecting the safety of different road user groups, responsibilities and obligations associated with driving motor vehicles, and other requirements for driving safely and with good situational awareness.
• The candidate must carry the certificate of passing the training during driving. Ask for a certificate for the instruction received from the driving school.

In practice, the amount of driving instruction required depends on the individual needs of the driving license applicant and the level of knowledge and skill they have previously obtained. The quantity and content of instruction and driving practice can be adjusted flexibly in accordance with the learning needs such that the minimum amount matches the above-mentioned minimum hours. The more you receive guided practice before your driving test, the better you will be prepared for independent driving after receiving your license.

• The course includes 7 hours of theory instruction and 5 hours of driving instruction that relate to the recognition and management of safety risks on the road.
• The driving instruction is partly provided using a simulator.
• The training increases readiness for driving in difficult conditions and supports in other ways the acquisition of safe, responsible and law-abiding driving habits. In particular, the training strengthens the ability to recognize and avoid dangerous road situations and factors which may weaken the driver’s driving ability and thus increase the risk of accidents.
• The training can only be provided by a driving school or other approved instructor. You cannot receive the training from an instruction permit holder.
• A certificate of completed training is obtained from the driving school and must be brought to the driving test.
