ASF Seminar (Advanced Seminar for Novice Drivers)
The ASF seminar is intended for young drivers who have violated traffic regulations during their probationary period. Anyone who receives an official order to participate must complete the seminar within the given deadline to avoid losing their driver’s license.
The seminar includes four group sessions of 135 minutes each, as well as one driving session. Its goal is to analyze driving behavior, discuss critical situations, and promote safer long-term driving habits. After successful participation, a certificate is submitted to the driver’s license authority.
Important: Participation in an ASF seminar automatically extends the probationary period by two years.
You register with us, provide your contact details, and can immediately start with the theory lessons. Whether you choose Class B197 (with manual transmission skills) or B78 (automatic only), we will decide together.
Before you can submit your application, you need:
✔ eye test certificate
✔ first aid course certificate
✔ biometric passport photo
✔ national ID card or passport
Take your documents to the town hall, where you will submit your application and officially be allowed to take the theory test.
You will attend 14 double sessions of theory lessons. Afterward, you will take the theory exam at TÜV or DEKRA, while driving lessons continue concurrently.
You will gain practical driving experience, including special driving sessions.
• B197: Automatic test with manual driving sessions
• B78: Only automatic driving lessons and test
Once you have successfully passed both the theory and practical exams, you will receive your driver's license and can hit the road with confidence!
The duration depends on various factors, such as the availability of driving lessons, your own time to study the theory, and your eligibility for the test. On average, it takes 3 to 6 months, but it can take less time or longer. Intensive courses allow you to obtain the license in 2 to 4 weeks.
The number of driving lessons is individual and depends on personal learning progress. Compulsory lessons (prescribed by law):
• 12 special trips (5 cross-country trips, 4 motorway trips, 3 night trips) Additional practice lessons: • An average of 20 to 30 practice lessons, depending on driving skills and confidence.
Registration is possible as soon as:
• The driver's license application has been approved by the authorities.
• At least 14 theory lessons (for class B) have been completed.
• You feel ready for the test.
• The driving school approves your registration.
The theory test can be taken no earlier than three months before your 17th or 18th birthday.

• You are allowed to take the theory test up to three times.
Failed Practical Test:
• A two-week waiting period applies before you can retake the test.
• Additional driving lessons may be required.
• Extra fees may apply for repeat tests, depending on the driving school.
