How long does it take to obtain a C2 driver's license?

If all subjects are passed successfully on the first attempt, a C2 driver's license can be obtained in approximately two months. Below is detailed information about the C2 driver's license: 1. Vehicle type: The C2 driver's license is one of the more common licenses in daily life. It stipulates that holders of this license can only drive automatic transmission vehicles with no more than 9 seats and a length not exceeding 6 meters. 2. Age requirement: 18-70 years old. Any citizen aged 18-70 can apply for a C2 driver's license. 3. Permitted vehicle models: Small automatic transmission vehicles, which refer to automatic transmission cars with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons, seating no more than 9 people, and a length not exceeding 6 meters.

The time to obtain a C2 driver's license generally ranges from one to three months, depending on individual circumstances and driving school arrangements. I've seen many people complete the theoretical part in about a week and pass Subject 1 after enrollment, then start practical training. Automatic transmission is simpler—mastering basics like reversing into a parking space and parallel parking usually takes just over a dozen lessons. However, waiting for exam schedules can extend the process; there might be a week’s gap between Subject 2 and the road test (Subject 3), followed by the final theoretical Subject 4. The entire process can take as little as one month or stretch slightly beyond three months. Remember to choose a reputable driving school with shorter queues to minimize waiting time, as learning to drive not only consumes time but also costs several thousand yuan in tuition fees.

The process of obtaining a C2 driver's license includes several stages: first, theoretical learning and the subject one exam, which takes about three days to a week; followed by subject two field training, involving over ten training sessions and taking two to three weeks; then subject three road driving practice, also requiring two to three weeks; with waiting periods for exams in between, such as about ten days between subject two and subject three; finally, passing subject four to obtain the license. The entire process can be completed in about one and a half months if tightly scheduled, but in reality, due to limited driving school quotas or the need for retakes after failing exams, it often extends to two to three months. I recommend balancing the training frequency, with three sessions per week being most suitable.

When I got my C2 driver's license last year, I opted for an intensive summer training course and completed it full-time within a month. Right after the theory test, I started practical training—practicing several hours daily. The automatic transmission was easy to handle, and I passed the second test (parking/drills) on the first try. While waiting for exam scheduling, I practiced road training, and after passing the third test, I received my license immediately. The whole process was faster than expected—the key was choosing the right training model: concentrated learning delivers the highest efficiency. My friend took two and a half months with part-time study but built solid skills; now, they drive exceptionally steadily.

The duration of obtaining a C2 driver's license is influenced by multiple factors: your learning pace—beginners can speed up with more practice; regional differences—big cities with long exam queues may extend to three months, while small towns or suburbs can take just one month; driving school arrangements—regular classes follow scheduled lessons, while VIP classes are faster but more expensive; weather and personal health can also slow progress. On average, it takes one to two months, but check with the driving school for specifics before estimating—don’t rely solely on ads, as minor issues can extend the time. I recommend enrolling early to avoid peak seasons; summer or holidays may offer smoother progress.
