How long does it take to upgrade from a C1 to a B2 driver's license?

You must have held the C1 license for more than one year and have no full-point record in the most recent scoring cycle before applying (must be at least 21 years old). Then, you can go to a driving school to pay, register, take the test, and upgrade to a large truck B2 license. Here is relevant information about the B2 license: Exam content: The B2 driver's license exam mainly includes three sections: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving. The exam sequence follows step-by-step procedures: traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1), field driving (Subject 2), and road driving (Subject 3). Passing standards: For traffic regulations and related knowledge, a score of 90 or above is required to pass. In the field driving test, vehicle operation must be performed in a designated area, with only pass or fail as the evaluation result. Road driving requires actual vehicle operation on a highway or simulated road. Large buses require a score of 90 or above, large trucks require 80 or above, and other vehicle types require 70 or above.

I just got my C1 driver's license not long ago and wanted to upgrade to B2. The whole process felt quite tedious. After enrolling in the driving school, I had to attend theoretical classes first, which took two weeks; then there was a month of field training, followed by waiting in line for the road test for over ten days. The driving instructor said it could be done in two months if everything went smoothly, but I dragged it out to three months mainly because I was too busy with work to find time for the tests. The cost wasn't too high—just a few thousand yuan—so I'd recommend contacting the driving school in advance to clarify the schedule. After the upgrade, it's much more convenient to drive a minivan to pick up and drop off friends.

I've been driving a car for ten years, and upgrading to a B2 license this year felt particularly easy. With ample driving experience, I passed the theory test in just one day, and only needed two weeks of practice for the yard and road tests, completing the entire process in one and a half months. Choosing a reliable driving school can speed things up, and it's best to avoid the peak exam season in summer to prevent long queues and delays. The cost is around 5000, and don't be tempted by cheap options that might lead to unreliable driving schools and wasted time. After upgrading, driving a medium-sized bus on long trips feels much safer, and learning new skills is always beneficial.

As a college student, upgrading your driver's license during summer vacation is the most cost-effective. I got all the paperwork done in just one week, finished the theoretical training in three days, and completed the field and road tests consecutively within two weeks—totaling just over a month. The driving school offers a special package for 3,000 yuan covering all fees, but you need to sign up quickly to secure a spot. Once you pass, you can start earning money by driving school buses—super practical. Make sure to squeeze in time for practice questions and don’t slack off playing games during training.
