Training period. For the category "B" the whole process (theoretical basis, practice, internal exam at school and the exam in the SAI) takes about three months. It would be an advantage if the school provides a choice of a convenient time for training (evening / morning group, a group of the day).

Driving. This is the most important stage of learning. The required minimum for the development of vehicle - 32-40 hours of practice. There courses 2, 3, 4 and 5-day training. Plus the opportunity to take additional lessons with an instructor. They can be useful for those who already have a driver's license, but he wants to restore and refresh skills, for example, sit back behind the wheel after the accident.

If the cost is cheaper - be careful, it can talk about incompetence school. It may happen that in the process you will have to pay extra for everything.

Car park.It is now possible to choose on what to be trained: "mechanics" or automatic gearbox. It all depends on the task you have set yourself and the vehicle you selected.

Reviews. Before calling in a particular driving school, gather feedback about it. They can be found on the Internet open spaces. Even better, if the course is recommended for your friends or acquaintances.
