Who is a refresher course for?

  • You have had a licence for years, but have hardly driven or not at all.
  • You no longer feel confident driving since an accident or a bad experience in traffic.
  • You want to get used to busy Amsterdam traffic, with cyclists, trams and narrow streets.
  • You want to drive on your own again after a long break, or switch to an automatic.

How a refresher course works

  1. Send us a WhatsApp message and tell us why you want refresher lessons.
  2. In the first lesson your instructor drives along with you and sees where you stand.
  3. Together we make a plan: how many lessons you need and what to focus on.
  4. We build up at your own pace, from quiet roads to busy traffic and the motorway.

What do you practise in refresher lessons?

  • Traffic rules and signs you have forgotten.
  • Junctions, roundabouts and right of way in busy city traffic.
  • Merging and driving on the motorway.
  • Parking, including parallel parking.
  • Staying calm in situations you dread.

Driving again after an accident

After an accident it is normal to feel nervous about getting behind the wheel again. In a lesson car with dual controls your instructor can always step in. That way you practise in a safe setting and rebuild your confidence step by step.
