FAQ

How long does it take to get a driver's license?

How long it takes to get a license is determined mainly by three factors.

  • Your availability to come to our school and practice

  • The availability of test slots at the license center 

  • Your ability to pass each of the license tests

So, if you

  • come to our school 3 times or more per week,

  • during the off season (NOT Aug, Sep, Feb and March), and

  • pass tests within a few times 

You can get a license in less than 1 month (record: 3 weeks).

How many times do I have to go to your school and practice?

It depends on the speed of your driving skill acquisition. If you are a quick learner, 10 ~ 12 times may be enough to reach the level to pass the driving exam.

I don't live in Wakayama. Can I go to your school to get a license?

Of course you can. We do our best to schedule your practice so that you don't need to stay long in Wakayama. We can offer you a 2~3 hour of practice per day at most(not busy months).

I live in Osaka and want to go to your school. Does your school offer the accommodation?

We don't offer the accommodation, so you are required to find a place to stay by yourself.
There is a business hotel nearby with 4,840 yen / night.

Can I use a credit card?

Yes, you can.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, you can if you pay with credit card. (Up to 24 times installments)
