Can I Transfer to Another Driving School After Registration?
2 Answers
It is possible to continue learning at a driving school in another province. Students do not need to return to the original driving school. They can simply go to the local vehicle management office to retrieve their medical examination information and previous test scores, then proceed to the new driving school for further training. Below are relevant details about transferring driving schools: 1. Once a student registers at a driving school, the school will create a student file containing all relevant information, such as medical examination records, training schedules, and practice details. Most importantly, it includes the student's test scores for each subject. In the past, if a student wanted to transfer to a driving school in a different location, they had to cancel their registration at the original vehicle management office and start over. However, with the relaxation of driving test policies, students can now transfer nationwide by retrieving their student file from the original vehicle management office and finding a new driving school to accept them. 2. If a student transfers to another driving school, the original school may deduct a certain portion of the tuition fees. Additionally, the student will need to pay new tuition fees at the new driving school. The exact amount varies by driving school, so students should negotiate with the schools involved.
I recently signed up for driving school and have been thinking about this issue too. Here’s my personal experience: Transferring driving schools is usually allowed, but it depends on the situation. For example, if you’ve signed a contract, there will be specific terms, and the refund and transfer processes vary. I’ve checked the information and asked some friends, and found that if you just want to switch schools due to moving or special circumstances, most driving schools accept transfers, though they may charge a service fee or deduct the cost of classes already taken. If you haven’t attended many classes, the chance of a refund is higher. I recommend contacting your original driving school directly to inquire about the steps, and don’t delay too long to avoid losing more money. Also, confirm with the new driving school whether they can accept you to avoid ending up with neither. Remember, when choosing a new place, check its reputation to avoid disappointment again. In short, it’s a small matter but needs careful handling, and it’s best to keep all payment receipts as evidence.
