You can also call to reserve a driving schedule in advance and come to study at the appointed time.

Answer The school can only transfer students between branches (Ban Nong Sai and Prime Square). Because nowadays, the new learning system is normally collecting the study hours by scanning students’ fingers directly. It will record the actual study time since scanning in until scanning out of the class. So, that causes the instructors cannot pick up and drop off their students at other places besides the school’s branches. In addition, it also takes some time to travel and may consume time of the next student too.

Answer We need only; 1. Original identity card, or passport 2. Medical certificate (not over 1 month)

Answer According to our school policies, the students must pay full amount of courses’ fees before they start the courses. In case of applying at the school first and studying later, the students can choose whether to pay a deposit or full amount.

Answer Yes, you can. After finishing the courses, you can have the examinations for theoretical section (computer test) and practical section (driving test). Once you pass all the examinations, you will get the certificate which you can bring it to the Department of Transport for issuing a driver’s license.

Answer No, it is not possible to only have a test at school. Since we are a private driving school, students have to come to study by scanning their fingerprints during the lessons by themselves (both theoretical and practical section). If students are already good at driving, they should thoroughly explore themselves to see if there are any points which they are still not very good. So, students can tell instructors to focus on these points. For examples, they want to focus on parking on the left-hand side by reversing. After collecting the full hours of the courses, students will be able to take the examinations for theoretical section (computer test) and practical section (driving test) at school.

Answer Our school together with all instructors here has passed the training and examination, and has been approved by the Department of Land Transport. Therefore, you can be assured that you will receive a lot of knowledge and correct techniques for using in a real daily life. After you finish the courses and pass all the examinations at school, we will issue a certificate for you which you can submit to the Department of Land Transport in order to get a driver’s license (no more examination).

Answer It is based on the original driving basis of each student and also his/her available time he/she can study each day. For a standard car’s course (study and test at school) can take fastest about 3 days to complete everything (2 days for studying and 1 day for testing). For a standard motorcycle’s course (study and test at school) can take fastest about 2 days to complete everything (can choose Wednesday and Thursday, or Saturday and Sunday). However, students can choose the date and time of study as needed, but they must complete the courses within 3 months (from the date of registration). If over 3 months, students are required to re-register and pay the course’s fees again.

Answer No, you cannot. Because students who have just started driving cars are considered as amateurs or nonprofessional people. Therefore, learning both gears at the same time will cause students to be confused and cannot drive any gears well. The school recommends all students to choose studying only the one gear which actually be used for driving after they finish the courses. However, in case that students can learn quickly and drive the chosen gear proficiently, they can ask their instructors to teach another gear according to the number of hours left in their applied courses.

Answer No, you cannot. According to the regulations of the Department of Land Transport, all the school’s training cars must be installed with double brakes (for both student and instructor sides) for safety reasons.

Answer The school offers courses for a car, a motorcycle and transportation vehicles (personal/public use). We have courses of studying and testing at school for both car and motorcycle (15 hours), and for transportation vehicles (30/41 hours). We have training courses only for theoretical section for both car and motorcycle (5 hours) in order to take a test at the Department of Land Transport. We also have training courses only for theoretical section for both car and motorcycle (1 hours) in order to renew a driver’s license at the Department of Land Transport. In addition, we offer driving courses for those who do not need driver's licenses. For examples, people whose ages do not meet the criteria for making driver’s licenses, or some people may already have driver’s licenses and prefer to practice more to build their confidence and expertise on driving.

Answer For a car’s course, you must be not less than 18 years of age. For a motorcycle’s course, you must be not less than 15 years of age. And for transportation vehicles’ courses, you must be not less than 20 years of age (personal use) and 22 years of age (public use).

Answer Yes, you can but only for a car’s course. If you are still not 18 years of age, you can register for only a driving course (without a driver’s license) starting from 2 hours (1,000 Baht).

Answer No matter how old you are now, maybe 80 years, 70 years, or more or less than these. Please be assured that our instructors have a lot of good knowledge and techniques to help you being able to drive confidently.

Answer Each course has different fees. For the standard courses (study 15 hours and test at school) are 5,000 Baht for car, and 1,000 Baht for motorcycle. For students who are able to drive but do not want to study and test at school, they can train for 5 hours of theoretical section which costs 500 Baht for each car and motorcycle.
