Choosing a driving school is a responsible step. After all, you want to not only get a license, and at a cheaper price, but also really become a good driver, learn all the subtleties and nuances of driving a car under any road conditions. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of profit, many driving schools lose the quality of training. But this is Moscow - a large metropolis in which a lot depends on each road user! We have prepared useful tips on how to choose the right driving school in Moscow and not go wrong, what to look for and which driving school is better to go to study in 2020.
Options for the number of driving hours in driving schools
Full program schools
28 lessons of 2 astronomical hours are extremely rare, I have only heard rumors about the existence of such driving schools. In practice, good training conditions are 24-26 lessons while driving a car, 1.15-1.30 minutes behind the wheel. Such driving schools can be considered full-fledged. 28 lessons are reduced due to the fact that it is indicated that one or two lessons go to the exam (internal and at the traffic police), 1-2 lessons go to the simulator. An hour of study is treated as academic.
Schools with a reduced curriculum
If for the price of the course it is not possible to provide a serious amount of driving training, driving schools reduce classes as best they can. There are two approaches here - the first, “honest”, driving schools say that they do not have 56 hours. The second approach is that they say 56 hours, but in practice they spend 15-20 lessons, coming up with things like - 15 minutes to formulate a task for a lesson, 15 minutes to discuss the results of a lesson, etc. Exclusion of some topics as optional, such as we do not drive with a trailer, we exclude classes, etc. Naturally, this is all misinformation, and often outright deception.
The obvious option is to advertise two training options; the full program and the shortened one are excluded under current legislation; the training program in a driving school must comply with the standard.
Training fleet
Driving school
– currently, most educational institutions are supplied with inexpensive foreign cars, including those with automatic transmissions. Domestic cars with hard clutches, tight steering wheels and hard-to-shift gears are a relic of the past. However, driving such cars helps to lay a good foundation for successfully passing the exam and further maneuvering on the road. At the same time, you should understand that you will undergo training on the vehicle that you will receive.
Instructor
– conducts classes in a comfortable car in good technical condition. When choosing a teacher, you can also choose a car, for example, of the same brand as your own, or similar in overall dimensions.
Start
pros
- Many driving courses
- You can get a license for any vehicle
- Low price
- Separation of theory and practice
- Modern classrooms
Minuses
- Imposing additional services
- Dividing training into parts does not always allow you to estimate the final cost
From 25,000 ₽
An excellent driving school for training and retraining drivers for various categories. Here you will have the opportunity to obtain a license not only for a passenger car, but also for a motorcycle or water transport. There are three classrooms equipped with the latest technology in different areas of the city.
The importance of learning from a good instructor
There are cases when a person has chosen two driving schools.
The first driving school is very famous, very popular and therefore expensive.
The second driving school, little-known, was recently founded and, accordingly, the cost of training there is much lower. It seems that the choice is obvious - the first driving school.
But then you learn from an acquaintance who recently graduated from a little-known driving school that there is one excellent driving instructor with whom he develops an excellent relationship during the learning process.
He takes a responsible approach to his work, is demanding, and has his own unique teaching method, thanks to which you will learn to drive a car perfectly. And if you have an excellent trusting relationship with your friend and his words mean something to you, then you should go to this driving school to talk with this instructor and if you like him, try to get training with him.
Moreover, if you pay for training, you have the right to ask that this particular instructor teach you.
Yes, and don’t look for a good instructor. The “angrier” and more demanding the instructor, of course within reasonable limits, the better you will learn to drive a car and the less mistakes you will make when driving independently, and the road does not forgive mistakes.
Therefore, a driving instructor is the main thing in training, this is a key link in your acquisition of knowledge and driving experience.
Of course, in a good driving school, in fact, there should not be bad instructors, but there are exceptions, so as I said above, good reviews and recommendations are the main thing.
Reviews from previous graduates and students
On the Internet you can find a lot of information about autoshloka in general, but reviews of people who have already completed their training in it and can tell a lot of interesting and useful things about their studies are also important. Such information, as a rule, is posted on websites that are aggregators of reviews about everything possible; among this information you can find the reviews you need. Reviews can be both laudatory and unflattering - this is exactly what you need when choosing a driving school - all the pros and cons of the driving school will be lined up before your eyes, and here it’s up to you how critically you evaluate the information received and, based on it, make the right decision solution.
DOSAAF NEAD

From 25,000 ₽
One of the best driving schools in Moscow, which is perfectly adapted for the modern driver. Employees are constantly improving and undergoing advanced training courses, so that all information provided is completely up-to-date. At the sites or in the city, instructors try to relax the driver and also instill the idea that there is nothing scary in driving. As a result, the student acquires the necessary skills and confidence.
How to choose the right driving school for training and avoid problems with obtaining a license
You are finally one step away from your cherished dream - to become a driver! All that’s left is to study at a driving school and pass the exams. As everywhere else, there are some “BUTs” here...
Which driving school to choose? How to do this correctly? What to look for when choosing? So many questions... Newly-made future drivers are poking their noses in searches, grabbing information piece by piece from forums and social networks. But there are not many such tips... unfortunately.
We present to your attention the second part of our epic information triptych, in which we tell you how not to make a mistake in such an important choice.
Among the most important criteria when choosing a driving school are the following:
- Close to home
- Attractive price
- Tempting advertising
But the correct algorithm is somewhat different... We will tell you what you should pay your precious attention to so as not to make a mistake in your choice. So, let's begin:
First of all, find out if the driving school has a license. A decent educational organization will not wait for you to ask to see it. Ours, by the way, is here. Today, a license is the basis of a driving school. Without it, the organization is essentially breaking the law. And you can easily lose your driver’s license at the first traffic police post, since the database also includes information about the driving school’s license. If you graduated from a driving school that is not licensed, your driver's license is not valid. In a driving school, the license (or a copy thereof) must be displayed on the information board in the most visible place.
In addition to a license for educational activities, each driving school must have a valid traffic police certificate for each training class and racing track. You can check whether a driving school has such a conclusion on the official website of the traffic police using this link: https://www.gibdd.ru/r/77/drivingschools/. This is what detailed information about our training classes and race track looks like:
If the training class in which you are offered to study does not have the appropriate accreditation or it has expired - ce la vie! - This is again a violation of current legislation. For you, it may result in lost money and not being allowed to take exams at the traffic police.
Be sure to check out the classroom. Just by looking at the surroundings, you will understand whether this is a one-day driving school or whether you will actually be taught.
If possible, try to communicate with current (or already graduated) students of this school. Ask them the questions you are interested in. At the moment, the easiest way to do this is on social networks. Portals like zoon.ru are also suitable. Here, for example, is our page on ZOON, VKontakte group, Facebook community. And on this page you will find reviews left on our website.
The size of the groups is also important. If there are more than 20 people in groups, then it is very difficult to pay due attention to everyone.
To apparently “reduce the cost” of their services, driving schools often extend the cost of gasoline (the so-called “fuel fee”) beyond the full cost of training. Ask about this in advance.
Find out how and to what extent the traffic police exams are organized at the driving school. Find out at what point the driving school’s obligations to you cease. What happens if you don't pass the exams the first time. A decent driving school will never abandon its graduates! You need to know this in advance, so that later you don’t have to go to the traffic police on your own to sign up for the exams.
Ask additional questions that interest you to the driving school employee and pay attention to how attentively they will treat both you and your question. A driving school that plans to stay on the market during these difficult times will never leave any unanswered questions.
We described how the cost of training is formed, what expenses are included in it, as well as a full calculation of the COST of training for one person in the first part of this block of educational and clarifying materials - Why it is impossible to successfully study at a driving school at a price less than 35,000 rubles. Training in a driving school that meets all the requirements of educational programs in terms of training duration and number of training hours, and has on staff qualified teachers and instructors who are well aware of the content of the programs and teaching methods, cannot be cheap! And since you only have to study at a driving school once, you certainly shouldn’t skimp on something that could affect your safety and life in the future.
We sincerely wish you a successful choice! Naturally, we cannot help but say that the BEST CHOICE IS THE HIGHWAY DRIVING SCHOOL. But even if your choice does not fall on us, we sincerely hope that these materials will help you choose the right driving school, study and pass exams with flying colors. Good luck to you!!!
Which driving school to choose: types of educational institutions
Today there are dozens of institutions offering their services to novice drivers. Establishments are classified by level and type.
Level:
- State;
- Private;
- Schools offering courses (often operating at schools and universities).
View:
- Classical training;
- For extreme driving skills;
- Counter-emergency preparation.
The first, offering standard driving lessons, allows you to learn and prepare for passing exams directly to obtain a driver's license. The other two types of schools are training for advanced training and skills consolidation.
Banal exaggeration
It’s simply impossible to count how many jokes there are about women driving, especially about blondes. In some places this is true, in others it is a banal exaggeration. But the fact that many women buy a license along with a car remains a fact. At the same time, they do not understand that they are endangering both themselves and other road users.
This is one of the reasons why many more men treat a woman driving with disdain and even look in their direction with caution.
However, not everything is as bad as it seems at first glance. Every year there are fewer and fewer such road users.
The second half of humanity began to understand that having a license and not having the knowledge and driving skills will not go far, and sooner or later, you will still have to turn to a private instructor, a specialized driving school or a driving school for girls.
