Waiting time for driving lessons.

The waiting time tells you one thing only: how long after enrolling you can start your driving lessons. Once you are in the queue and you start, you drive regularly, with no more waiting between lessons. Below we explain how it works and what you can expect.

What it means

One queue. Then regular lessons.

The waiting time is not waiting between lessons. It is the time from enrolling to your first lesson. Once, at the start.

When you fill in the sign-up for driving lessons, the office registers you and you choose your instructor in the app. Every instructor shows in how many weeks they take on new learners: that is their personal waiting time. The number above is not an average but a range: from the instructor you can start with soonest to the busiest one. If speed matters more to you than a particular instructor, choose the one with the shortest waiting time in the app.

When it is your turn, you and your instructor agree on regular lesson times. From then on there is no more waiting: you usually have lessons every week (or several times a week if you want to go faster) until you are ready for the driving test. The average learner needs 30 to 35 hours; more about that here (in Slovenian).

Arranging with your instructor

Lesson times are agreed between you and your instructor, not the office and not the app. We know how full a schedule can be with studies or work, so our instructors adapt to your schedule: early in the morning, in the afternoon, in a free hour. We also do our best to start and end the lesson at a place that suits you (outside your faculty, at home or at work) when that is reasonably possible.

If your instructor does not reply within two working days, or you want to change instructor, you do it in the app with the Change (Zamenjaj) button, without calling the office. What helps you choose is explained in the app instructions (in Slovenian).

Enrolling and choosing an instructor

You fill in the sign-up for driving lessons, the office registers you (usually the same or the next working day) and you choose your instructor in the app. When you choose, look at the waiting time, the language and the location: all three are shown for every instructor.

2In the meantime

Sort out the papers you need before you drive

By law, to start driving lessons you need a completed CPP course, a valid medical certificate and a passed theory exam (CPP exam) at the administrative unit; for the driving test you also need the first aid exam. Use the waiting time to sort this out, because your instructor may not start without the passed theory exam.

CPP course (online or in person, 6 days)
Medical exam at an occupational health clinic
Registering for the theory exam at the administrative unit
First aid course and exam with the Red Cross

3First lesson

Your instructor calls you, or you call them

When it is your turn, you agree on the first time and place. The first lessons are usually on the training ground, then you go out into traffic. From then on you drive regularly, on a schedule you set together.

Tip: tell your instructor how many lessons a week you want to drive and when you have time. More lessons a week = faster to the test and less forgetting between lessons.

Why wait at all

Quality before speed

An instructor takes on only as many learners as they can drive with regularly. It is better to wait a few weeks and then drive every week than to start right away and then wait for every lesson.

Who decides

The instructors themselves

Every instructor sets in the app in how many weeks they take on new learners. The figure updates immediately and you see it when you choose.

Where

Ljubljana and surroundings

Lessons start at Gerbičeva 44 or, by arrangement, at another place in Ljubljana. Driving tests take place at the exam center on Cesta dveh cesarjev.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start sooner if I choose a different instructor?

Yes. The waiting time is different for every instructor. If speed matters more to you than a particular instructor, choose one marked Right away or 1 week (Takoj or 1 teden in the Slovenian app).

What if I have not finished the CPP course yet while I wait?

Sign up for the next course date; the course takes 6 days. By law you can only start driving lessons once you have passed the theory exam at the administrative unit and have a valid medical certificate, so sort out the course and the exam as soon as possible, ideally during the waiting time. You can see how much time you have at the top of this page, and for every instructor in the app.

Does the waiting time start again if I change instructor?

The new instructor's waiting time applies. If they are currently taking learners right away, you carry on without a break.

Can I drive several times a week?

Yes, if the instructor's schedule allows it. Tell them when you first arrange things: a faster pace works better for most learners.

Where can I see how many lessons I have already had?

In the app, on the home screen (lessons driven, paid and owed) and in the Progress tab, which has your full lesson history.
