Internal exam
At the end of the course the school checks your theory and driving, on the same rules as the WORD. Passing the internal exam opens the way to the state exam.
Step by step
- You take the internal exam after all the classes: at least 30 hours of theory (26 h of lectures and 4 h of first aid) and 30 hours of driving.
- You arrange the date with the school office.
- The theory part is on a computer: questions from the official database, timed, like at the WORD.
- The practical part is the manoeuvring area and driving in traffic, like at the WORD. The instructor goes through your mistakes and you get a results sheet.
- After you pass, the school records the completion of the course in your PKK profile. Only then can you book the practical test at the WORD.
The rules of the internal exam are set by your school — ask the office for details.
Worth knowing
If you pass the theory test at the WORD before the course, the school exempts you from the lectures and from the internal theory exam. Then you only do the driving and first aid at the school.

A driving hour is 60 minutes, a theory hour 45. For the first 8 hours of driving at most 2 h a day, then at most 3 h. So 30 hours means at least 12 days behind the wheel.

You have to attend at least 80% of the lectures. Only a school with an additional certificate, a so-called "super OSK", may run lectures online.

You can book the practical test at the WORD only once the course completion is recorded in your PKK. Make sure the school does it right after the internal exam.
