When it’s time to choose driving school in Latvia, it could be a very complicated decision, because of the huge amount of these kind of educational institutions - there are more than 200 driving schools, which all give promises to get driving licence fast and cheap. Sometimes it seems impossible – how to compare all important parameters and prices?
Some tips for finding TOP driving school in Latvia
First criteria, which is fundamentally significant in this area, is price. You have to be 100% sure and certain about all the points in contact and read it really carefully. You can find many marketing tricks in the market, for example, “Pay only for driving lessons and get theory for free!” or “Pay only 1 EUR for theory course”. The hook in the end is that you pay even more, because driving schools more likely will charge more than average for driving lessons, could be extra money for other services. This may leave with unexpected expenses and a lot longer learning period.
Main expenses in contract could be:
- registration and document formatting;
- theory course and examination;
- medical certificates and first aid courses.
Most important part of all expenses usually are driving lessons. In Latvia legislation determine 14 obligatory lessons, each 90 minutes long. Practically, new drivers need much more driving to feel safe on the road. The best driving schools in their homepages offers calculators where you can see all expenses together. Be sure that all these expenses are written in the contract!
Cosy and easy reachable learning place
Also space for learning process has got massive effect, because theory course is 15 lessons long. Driving school should be located near home, what can reduce total expenses and also time. It’s a good idea to go to driving school and feel the atmosphere and staff, that can tell about inner culture a lot. Teachers should be positive, professional and understanding.
Competent teachers and instructors are the key to better understanding!
Third important criteria are teachers and driving instructors. You can check all teaching staff in CSDD homepage and also google for some reviews. Perfect, if you can get also mutual reviews from people, who got their licences recently. You should find out also meeting point with driving instructor, because sometimes they are collecting students from quite far distance. If possible, check rotation of teaching staff – it will show if teachers feel good and if they have adequate salary.
