Accompanied driving from 17 (BF17)

With BF17 your training can start at 16.5 and you take the test with us just like for class B. Until you turn 18 you may only drive with an accompanying person who is named in your test certificate. They must be at least 30, have held a class B licence for at least 5 years and have no more than 1 point in the driving-aptitude register. Your parents must agree to take part. The licensing authority checks these details; we help you with the application.

You will practise city traffic, roundabouts and typical situations in Mönchengladbach in a structured manner with us. So you are prepared - regardless of whether you are driving to school, to work or to the neighbouring town later.

• Theory: 14 double lessons of 90 minutes each (12 basic + 2 for class B)
• Practice: 12 special drives of 45 minutes each — 5 on rural roads, 4 on the motorway, 3 at dusk/in the dark
• On top of that come practice lessons as needed — after your first drives we will tell you honestly how many

As of 2026, according to the German driving-student training regulation (FahrschAusbO), without guarantee.

The test certificate replaces your licence until your 18th birthday and is valid in Germany only. At 18 the accompaniment requirement ends and you receive the normal class B card licence without taking another test. If you later want an automatic with a manual option or a trailer, we can also advise you on B197 or BE.

Registration €349, learning app €50, every driving lesson €65 (each incl. VAT). The exam presentation (€250) and the first aid course (€50) are added separately. TÜV fees are always paid externally, directly to the TÜV. Funding via the job centre or employment agency is generally possible if your authority approves it — details in the questions below.
