Fahrlehrerlaubnis (driving instructor licence) - Apply for teaching demonstrations
Fahrlehrerlaubnis - Lehrproben beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Once driving instructors have obtained the temporary Fahrlehrerschein (driving instructor certificate) and completed their internship at a training driving school (Ausbildungsfahrschule), they are examined on sample lessons (Lehrproben) in theoretical and practical driving instruction.
During the sample lessons, the Fahrlehreranwärter (driving instructor candidate) must demonstrate, in the presence of two members of the examination board (Prüfungsausschuss), that he is able to give driving students approximately three-quarters of an hour of theoretical and practical driving instruction each.
If the candidate passes these sample lessons, the driving instructor candidate is granted the unlimited Fahrlehrerlaubnis (driving instructor licence) and may teach driving students at driving schools.
