Car driving lessons – category B

Question: How many lessons do I need for a category B licence?

The number depends on your experience, your progress and how much you can practise privately. At Caroli, you receive an individual estimate after your first lesson. About your first lesson.

Question: How many automatic lessons will I need?

It varies from person to person, depending on your experience, progress and private practice. In an automatic car, you can focus on traffic without having to practise the clutch and gear changes at the same time. Your instructor helps assess what you need to work on.

Question: How long is a driving lesson?

A car driving lesson at Caroli Trafikskola lasts 70 minutes. View current lesson prices.

Question: Can I combine private practice with driving lessons?

Yes. Tell your instructor what you have already practised so your lessons can focus on the help you need. Your instructor can also suggest things to practise privately between lessons. Explore our category B training.

Question: What happens in my first lesson if I have never driven before?

Your first lesson is adapted to your experience. If you have never driven before, your instructor drives you to a quiet area where you can get to know the car at your own pace. Afterwards, you receive a personal plan for what to practise. How your first lesson works.

Motorcycles and motorcycle licences

Question: Do I need my own motorcycle or protective gear to start?

You can use the school’s motorcycle and borrow a riding suit, helmet, boots and gloves. Motorcycles with low seats are also available. Explore taster lessons and plan your motorcycle training.

Question: Can I hire a motorcycle for my driving test?

Use of a motorcycle for the driving test is included in the Motorcycle Silver Package and Motorcycle Gold Package as described on the current product pages. If you have practised privately and want to book a motorcycle separately, you need to contact the school well in advance to check availability and the applicable terms. About motorcycle hire for the test.

More questions about your training

Question: Can I take an automatic car licence, and what does that mean?

You can choose an automatic car for any of our category B packages. The rest of your training is unchanged, but your licence will have a restriction allowing you to drive automatic cars only. You can later take a new driving test in a manual car to remove the restriction.

Question: Can you pick me up or drop me off, and does it count towards my lesson time?

Yes, we can pick you up or drop you off. The time your instructor spends doing so counts as part of your total lesson time.

Question: What do I need to enrol?

You need a valid ID document or passport to enrol. We can check your learner’s permit (körkortstillstånd) through Transportstyrelsen, the Swedish Transport Agency. When buying training online, enter the student’s details at checkout; you do not need a separate enrolment form afterwards. Has your school, employer or someone close to you arranged training without registering your details? Submit learner details. There is no enrolment fee. A gift card is a gift and does not automatically register the recipient as a student. Separate courses are booked with participant details in the course booking.

Question: How long is the wait for driving lessons?

Waiting times vary with the time of year and available slots. Contact us for current availability and help planning your lessons, especially if you want an intensive course.

Question: Can my private driving supervisor join my lessons?

We welcome private driving supervisors or parents who want to join students’ driving lessons at Caroli Trafikskola.

Question: Do you offer eyesight tests?

No, we do not offer eyesight tests at our driving school.

Question: Is training available in languages other than Swedish?

Theory materials, including books and practice tests, are available in Swedish and English. Our courses, including taught theory and risk training, are held in Swedish only. Some of our instructors also speak English.

Question: What is a training assessment before the driving test?

You drive with an instructor other than your usual one and receive feedback on what is going well and what you need to practise before the test. The assessment helps you and your regular instructor plan your remaining training.

Question: How much does a driving licence cost?

The total cost varies. It depends on your ability, opportunities for private practice, commitment, motivation, previous knowledge and how much you practise at home.

Question: Do package prices only apply to intensive courses, or can I choose my own lesson schedule?

Our package prices also apply to regular training. You can take the lessons at your own pace.
