Questions
At what age can my child start?+
Under 2toDrive, lessons and the theory exam can begin from age 16, with the practical exam from 17. Exact ages and conditions are set by the government, check the current rules on cbr.nl.
What happens between 17 and 18?+
After passing, your teen drives on a learner permit accompanied by a registered coach (often a parent) until they turn 18, when it becomes a normal licence. The coach must be registered in advance.
Can the coach be an English-speaking parent?+
Yes. The accompanying coach is usually a parent or guardian who registers for the scheme, language is no barrier. We guide expat families through the steps in English.
Can the lessons be in English?+
