Lessons in Heerlen and Parkstad

Where do you practise?

From the city centre we drive to the CBR in Kerkrade via Heesbergstraat, Heerlerbaan, Valkenhuizerlaan, Wenckebachstraat and Spekhofstraat.

During your training we also drive stretches of motorway: the A2, the A76 or the A79, depending on the lesson and the area.

At the CBR we practise driving in and out of the car park. Then we always head back into a 30 zone for the special manoeuvres.

Where do we pick you up?

For car lessons, you can be picked up at the station, at home, at work, or at your school or university. Staying with a friend or family member? Just send a message or a WhatsApp and we will pick you up there.

Questions

How much is a trial lesson?

A trial lesson costs €50. You pick a time from the available slots and pay for the lesson.

Automatic or manual: what's the difference for your licence?

If you pass in an automatic, your licence gets code 78: you may only drive automatics. To drive a manual later, you take the practical exam again in a manual car (CBR). Not sure yet? Ask about it during your trial lesson.
