Can I Transfer to Another Driving School After Passing Subject One?
3 Answers
In fact, it is possible to 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 transferring to another school and refunds part of the fees (the amount of which is also subject to negotiation between both parties), then the student can apply to the vehicle management office to cancel the previous registration information and re-register. Here are the specific details about transferring to another driving school: 1. As for the refund amount when changing driving schools, there is no universally applicable data. The fees vary by region and driving school, and each individual's situation is different. The final refund amount ultimately depends on the negotiation results between both parties. 2. If the driving school relocates its original campus, causing the student to travel an excessive distance for training, this situation is due to the driving school's unilateral reasons. If both parties fail to reach an agreement on this matter, 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—it still depends on the negotiation outcome between both parties.
Switching driving schools after passing Subject 1? I have experience with this, as I tried it last year after passing. According to regulations, it's theoretically possible to transfer, but you must follow the proper procedures. You need to obtain consent and a transfer certificate from your original driving school first, otherwise the new school won't accept you. Many places require a transfer fee, with amounts varying from a few hundred yuan. I recommend contacting the front desk of your original driving school directly to inquire about their policies; if not handled properly, your records might be withheld, affecting your Subject 2 registration. After transferring, your learning time can generally be connected, but you'll need to readjust to the new instructor's teaching style. Make the decision early, as delaying too long will waste your practice opportunities. In short, don't worry about whether you can transfer—the key is to communicate the details clearly before taking action to avoid unnecessary trouble.
I got my driver's license two years ago. Right after passing Subject 1, I moved and had to switch driving schools. The whole process went fairly smoothly: first, I signed an agreement with the original driving school, and they provided the necessary documents for free, though it took three days to get my file. The new driving school required me to pay a compensation fee of about 500 RMB for training losses upon transfer. Once the paperwork was done, I started Subject 2 training immediately without any delays. For those considering a transfer, I recommend checking reviews of the target driving school in advance, such as asking for feedback on driving test forums. Never attempt to transfer without notifying the original school—it could lead to legal trouble. After transferring, it takes some time to adjust to the new environment, as instructors' attitudes may differ, so maintaining the right mindset is crucial. In my case, I actually felt the quality of my training improved, making the switch well worth it.
