the route to your driving license
Nowadays, you can start driving lessons from the age of 16.5 and - if you have passed your theory exam - take your practical exam from the age of 17. To avoid delays, it's best to start your theory as soon as you start driving lessons.
​
Do you already have a driving licence, but want to gain more driving experience? Then a refresher course might be for you.
​
With me, you can take driving lessons in both Dutch and English.
Theory lessons
Handy with the PlanGo app
Before you can take your practical exam, you need to have passed your theory. A nice and relaxed way to learn your theory is with the PlanGo app. No hassle with a book, but easily read small chapters and watch videos on your phone or tablet. Super convenient, because the complete theory course is in the app.
​
The theory material consists of short sections that you can digest In just a few minutes, making clever use of your breaks or gap times. The app contains quite a few subtests, so you can check whether you have understood the theory. You will immediately see whether your answer is right or wrong and if you answer wrong, you will be shown the explanation again. Furthermore, the app contains a series of complete exams, exactly as they look like at the CBR. So maximum preparation for the CBR theory exam!
Practice B-RIS
Higher success rate!
With me, you can follow the official Driving Course In Steps (RIS). developed by the CBR.
Using the scripts in the RIS practice book, you learn to drive in four modules step by step: first the operation and control of the car, then introduction to simple traffic situations and finally more complex traffic situations. The practice book thus prepares you a little bit each time for your driving lessons and allows you to develop a little faster.
​
Parallel to the practice book, your instructor will keep a progress chart. Before your driving lesson starts, it will check which scripts were covered last time and to what extent you have mastered them. And at the end of the driving lesson, the new progress is then updated again on the chart.
​
The step-by-step structure of the RIS provides a lot of calm and overview and is highly appreciated for that reason. Another advantage is that if you prepare yourself for your driving lesson, your instructor will have to explain a little less to you and you will therefore spend less time standing still. So you keep more time to drive.
And because most students grow a little faster in self-confidence with RIS, the success rate is also significantly higher. Up to 20%
Practice B
If you are someone who is not so keen on using a textbook to prepare for driving lessons, you can of course just take driving lessons the traditional way. So without a textbook, and then with a little more time for explanations... Of course, a targeted and professional programme is also offered with the regular B course.
Refresher courses
Been holding your driving licence for years, but still stress when you take to the road in a car in The Netherlands? Then I would love to help you overcome your fear. Chances are, with just a few driving lessons, you'll feel a whole lot more confident.
​
Whether it's reverse parking, joining the motorway, crossing busy intersections, dealing with that oncoming car in narrow streets, or whatever it is that makes you break out in a fearful sweat in traffic, it really is possible to get rid of your uncertainty with just a few driving lessons.
​
After a short chat about how you experience driving in general, we do a diagnostic drive and you are 'tested' on some essential points. The first feedback and immediately afterwards the first explanation and demo will already give you more insight into how things should be done. Then, of course with my full help, you get to work yourself and you will notice that in no time you will find it all a lot less exciting. And after a few lessons of vigorous practice with the right instructions, you will even start to enjoy it. How cool would that be, to be able to say "I did it and I enjoyed it too!
