General
How can I register for a training?
You can register online by choosing “Schedules and prices” and from there a suitable city and the training you want to complete. You will be asked to enter your personal information when you click NEXT on the suitable training. You can register only if you make an online payment. You can register in classrooms all over Estonia.
Can I pay for the training in instalments? If yes then how large are the instalments and how long does it take to pay the entire sum?
Yes, it is possible by choosing “First instalment” when registering to the training. If you have paid the first instalment during registration, you can pay the rest of the sum according to how often you take driving lessons. Before booking a drive, you have to make sure that there are enough funds in the “wallet”.

Does OÜ Autosõit have an e-learning environment?

Yes. Other driving schools can also purchase access to eAutokool for their students.
What happens when there is a traffic accident during the driving lesson? Who will compensate the damage?
Fortunately, the training vehicles are rarely in accidents that they caused, because there are two drivers that “drive” the car. When damage does happen in a traffic accident, the motor vehicle insurance will compensate the damages to the injured party; if the training vehicle was damaged, then casco insurance will take care of it.
How many people attend OÜ Autosõit trainings every year?
On average, about 20,000 people start their studies at OÜ Autosõit every year.

Can I choose an instructor who suits me?
The choice of instructor depends on availability, but we take the student's preferences into account whenever possible (for example a calmer pace or a specific language).
Is the category B initial training in Tallinn different from the rest of Estonia?
The content of the training is the same all over Estonia, but in Tallinn the driving lessons take place in denser traffic and more complex locations, which gives more practical experience in city traffic.
Do you help with registering for the exams?
Yes. The driving school guides the student through registering for both the theory and the driving exam and explains the whole process step by step.
What happens if I do not pass the theory or driving exam on the first try?
If you do not pass the exam on the first try, you can retake it. If needed, the driving school recommends extra lessons or revision.
I have never driven a vehicle and I am afraid of the traffic. How long do I have to practice before driving in the city?
The curriculum requires at least 2 driving lessons on the learning field. In the case when the primary skills are not acquired during this time, it is possible to continue driving on the training field as long as it is necessary.
What does it mean if I complete the training with a vehicle that has no clutch pedal (automatic transmission)? Can I drive any car in the future?
By completing the training and the exam with a vehicle that has automatic transmission (officially a vehicle without a clutch pedal), your licence will have a corresponding note and you cannot drive a vehicle that has manual transmission.
Where do the initial training driving lessons begin?
The first lessons will take place in our training fields; you can start city driving at a suitable place by arranging it with your instructor. The places where lessons usually start in Tallinn are Kadriorg, Mustamäe, Järve and Kristiine. In other cities we generally start the lessons near the school.

In winter, the slippery track training can be completed with a personal vehicle only if it has studless winter tyres. If the trainee participates in training with their own vehicle, they are responsible for any harmful consequences that arise from the actions or inaction of the trainee in connection with participating in training. The trainee confirms that they have the right to use the vehicle, and the vehicle has a valid technical inspection and insurance.
The trainee can also drive their own vehicle during training if the vehicle has been adapted according to the trainee’s health situation.
