Can I Transfer to Another Driving School?
2 Answers
Driving schools do not allow transfers because motor vehicle driver training operates on a credit hour system, with fees reasonably charged based on the hours completed. Below are the relevant requirements and regulations for motor vehicle driver training: Pre-service Training: Motor vehicle driver training institutions must provide instructors with pre-service training covering road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving knowledge, teaching abilities, etc. Pre-service training must be no less than 36 credit hours. Off-the-job Training: Strengthen the professional ethics education of instructors and provide continuing education on new driving knowledge and technologies. Instructors must undergo at least 12 credit hours of off-the-job continuing education per year to enhance their professional quality. Supervision and Inspection: Motor vehicle driver training institutions should strengthen the supervision and inspection of instructors' teaching conditions, regularly evaluate instructors' teaching levels, teaching performance, and professional ethics, publish rankings of instructors' teaching quality, and urge instructors to improve teaching quality.
Of course, you can transfer to another driving school. I’ve done it before because moving made the original one too inconvenient. The process is quite simple: first, fill out an application form at your current driving school, and they’ll provide a transfer certificate and your learning records. Then, just register at the new driving school. The new school offered more flexible teaching, and the instructors were more attentive—I got my license quickly. Just be mindful of refund policies, as some schools may charge a small handling fee, so it’s best to clarify this upfront. When choosing a new school, consider its reputation and distance to save time and hassle. Don’t force yourself if the current setup isn’t working—switching might boost efficiency, and safe driving is what really matters.
