Can I switch to another driving school after enrollment?

Driving school students have the right to transfer to another driving school, which is one of their most basic rights. Here is additional information: The transfer process is relatively simple. The required procedures for transferring driving schools are: 1. The student must obtain a transfer certificate from the original driving school; 2. The student can retrieve their personal file from the vehicle management office or the driving school; 3. The student needs to report to the new driving school with their file and the transfer certificate. 4. It is recommended to complete the exams at the original driving school. Switching driving schools is a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly process. Therefore, students should carefully choose a driving school before enrollment to avoid wasting valuable time and incurring financial losses when switching schools later.
Last year, I enrolled in a driving school, but after just a few days, I found the instructor's temper too bad and the service unsatisfactory, so I wanted to switch. Later, I learned that it's actually possible to transfer to another driving school, but there's a process: first, fill out a withdrawal application at the original school, which might deduct some tuition as a handling fee, then take the withdrawal proof to the new school to re-enroll. They may recognize some of the completed lessons, but the exams will have to be taken from scratch. The whole process took me a week and cost me 500 yuan. If your driving school has major issues, like irresponsible instructors or inefficient training, transferring is a completely viable option—don’t suffer through it. Just make sure to check the original school’s refund policy and the new school’s enrollment rules to avoid wasting money. Overall, transferring is a good solution for dissatisfaction with a driving school, but be prepared for some hassle.
It's definitely possible to switch to another driving school after enrollment, but you need to be cautious financially. Last time I wanted to transfer, I found that the original school's contract stated no refunds, only partial credit transfer for lessons; the new school required paying the registration fee again, and all the additional costs added up to over 2,000 yuan. I recommend checking the contract terms before deciding, such as whether there are penalty fees or service retention charges. If you decide to transfer, communicate with the original school as early as possible to see if you can get some money back. Switching schools during the learning process might delay your exam schedule, so I suggest trying a few lessons first before transferring. Overall, changing environments can improve learning efficiency, but don't overlook the costs.
