In order to be allowed to train learner drivers as an independent driving instructor or have them trained by employed driving instructors, a driving school permit is required in addition to the corresponding driving instructor permit. In order to operate branches of a driving school as the owner of a driving school, a branch permit is also required (see related topics).
The driving school permit is issued on application for driving school license classes A, BE, CE and DE. The district administrative authority where the driving school is based is responsible.
The BE driving school license class entitles - corresponding to the driving instructor license - to training in the driving license classes B, BE and L. The driving school license for class A entitles to training in the driving license classes AM, A1, A2 and A. The driving instructor license class CE entitles to training in the driving license classes C1, C1E, C, CE and T. The driving instructor license class DE entitles to training in the driving license classes D1, D1E, D and DE.
