Short Course

If you have some previous driving experience but never had or don’t at present have a valid foreign driving licence we can help you to get your Dutch driving licence for the car as soon as possible. However, you’ll need to take a theory plus a driving test, which can all be done in English at the Amsterdam Theory and Driving Test centre on the Naritaweg 150 – 1043 CA Amsterdam (Sloterdijk); for people in your particular situation we – as the ONLY  driving school in The Netherlands – have prepared a very Short Course. You’ll need at least 10 hours, this is the minimum requirement, possibly more. There are also other courses available, but the outcome of an IDS Intake Session will determine which course is most suitable for you.

The Intake

So as to determine your eligibility for this Short Course, like with all courses at registered driving schools in The Netherlands, you need to start with an intake session – from € 59,95 – which can be taken, like the other driving lessons schedule, from Monday through Friday 07:30 till 18:30 and Saturdays from 09:30 till 18.30; we would like to meet at:

• Amsterdam Sloterdijk Station at the Radarweg exit, if coming by public transport or
• Amsterdam Theory and Driving Test centre on the Naritaweg 150 – 1043 CA Amsterdam (Sloterdijk), if coming by car (free parking)

These two places are our overall preferred addresses as it is located very near the Amsterdam Theory & Driving Test centre; we need and want to practice in that area as much as possible. We do not want to waste your valuable time and money travelling to and from various locations when not necessary.  All our students come there so then you don’t need to spend time dropping the student before you off somewhere and having to drive to another address to pick-up the student after you! This way the lesson is most productive!

The Further Procedure

After the intake  you:

• Start studying for your CBR Driving Theory Test
• Start with the recommended course
• Book a slot for your CBR Driving Theory Test

After you have passed the theory test and completed 2/3 of your course, you will take the CBR Preliminary Driving Test (if recommended); after that we continue with the remainder of the driving lessons included in your course, supplemented by additional driving lessons if required, after which you will take the final CBR Driving Test. Note, that to save time we will register you for the CBR Preliminary and the CBR Final driving test in English asap after your intake and receipt your CBR Statement of Health, your mandate through your DigID on www.mijncbr.nl and the course payment in full.
