Questions
What is a combi course?+
You learn the basics in an automatic — where there's less to juggle — then switch to manual once the traffic skills are second nature. You sit the practical exam in a manual car, so you end with a full licence valid for every car.
Who is combi best for?+
Anyone who wants a full manual licence but finds gears stressful at first. Building confidence in an automatic first often makes the manual part faster and calmer.
Do I end up with a full (manual) licence?+
Yes. Because the exam is taken in a manual car, you receive a full licence that lets you drive both manual and automatic cars.
Is it taught in English?+
Yes — CBR-certified instructors teach the whole combi course in English, with pick-up across the Haarlem and Amsterdam region.
