Can I Change Driving Schools After Passing Subject 1?
2 Answers
You can change driving schools, but since a driver training contract relationship has already been established between the student and the driving school, it is necessary to negotiate with the original driving school. If the driving school agrees to the student's transfer and refunds part of the fees (the amount of which is also subject to negotiation between both parties), then you can apply to the vehicle management office to cancel the previous registration information and re-register. Below are the details about changing driving schools: 1. As for the refund amount when changing driving schools, there is no reference data available. The fees vary by region and driving school, and each individual's situation is different. The final refund amount depends on the negotiation between both parties. 2. If the driving school has relocated, causing the student to travel an excessive distance for training, this is considered the driving school's unilateral reason. If both parties cannot reach an agreement on this situation, the student may request a full or partial refund of the tuition fees. If the student wants to change driving schools due to personal reasons, the driving school is not obligated to refund the fees. Ultimately, it depends on the negotiation outcome between both parties.
I just changed driving schools after passing Subject 1 because the original instructor's attitude was terrible and I couldn't stand it anymore. After inquiring, I found out it's indeed possible to switch, and the process isn't difficult. First, you need to get a certificate from your original driving school stating that you've passed Subject 1 and settle the tuition fees—if you've only completed half, you might get a partial refund or need to pay extra. Then, register with a new driving school, and once they receive your records, you can continue with Subject 2 training. The whole process takes about a day or two, but remember to check the new school's instructor reviews and location convenience in advance to avoid regrets later. Changing driving schools when moving is quite common, so don't stress. The key is to communicate well to avoid delaying your subsequent exam schedule.
