A short overview of what applicants ask most often. We will always confirm details with you at the branch or by email.
Once you choose one of our courses and meet the age for your category, you can enrol even a few months before you reach the required age — but no earlier than 18 months before the age legally required for that category. You take final exams only once you reach the legal age. Visit our branch for the driving licence application and medical fitness certificate. Application forms are also in the documents section: print them at home and bring them to the school.
For theory you partly study on your own using materials we provide, and you also attend consultations at our classroom during office hours.
Under L17 you can obtain category B from age 17. You must complete the same driving-school training and usual final exams as any other applicant. From 17 until you turn 18 you may only drive a car under supervision of a specific experienced driver (mentor). The mentor must meet legal requirements, sit in the front passenger seat, and not be under the influence of alcohol. L17 is recorded on the driver record card for the young driver and the mentor. In the Czech Republic it applies from 1 January 2024 (see Section 83a of Act No. 361/2000 Coll.). More information: https://www.l17.cz/.
A mentor must hold category B for at least 10 years, must not have been banned from driving in the last 5 years, and must have 0 penalty points. Often it is a parent or relative, but that is not required. The young driver must choose a specific mentor who agrees in writing; this is entered on both drivers’ record cards. Before 18 they may not drive a car alone or with anyone else as supervisor. A driver may have at most 4 mentors. Obtaining B under L17 also gives entitlement to small motorcycles A1 with automatic transmission and B1 vehicles; those can be used from age 17 without a mentor. More on L17: https://www.l17.cz/.
Minimum practical hours are set by Czech law (Act No. 247/2000 Coll., Annex 3) and must be the same at every driving school. For example: category B — 28 hours, category C — 18 hours, motorcycles typically 13 hours. These are legal minimums; completing fewer would conflict with the law.
If training is not finished, you can transfer at any stage. Your current school must allow it, issue a “confirmation of partial completion of tuition and training”, return your application and medical certificate if applicable, and settle any payments.
Yes. Under Section 13 of Act No. 247/2000 Coll. you must reach the prescribed age by the day tuition and training end.
The exam consists of 2 parts (3 for categories C and D). If you fail one part, you retake only that part. You must pass the first part on the day — if you fail it, the exam ends that day and you must book another date. The parts are: • test on rules of road traffic • practical driving test (including pre-drive vehicle check) • vehicle operation and maintenance (categories C and D)
Yes, where agreed: when training starts, at least a 50% deposit of the course price is due. This option applies only to categories B and B78. Other categories must be paid in full before training begins.
We do not currently offer this service.
Permitted combinations for B, B96 and B+E depend on the masses of the car, trailer, and the whole combination — set by Act No. 361/2000 Coll. In short: B covers a standard car with a light trailer within legal limits; B96 and B+E extend to heavier trailers and higher combination masses. We can explain the exact limits for your planned vehicle and trailer at the branch or refer you to MoT guidance on traffic rules.
