5 out of 5 starsI had no bad experiences at this driving school or with its instructors. My manual transmission instructor was Guido: a truly relaxed guy. He has a pleasant manner and knows how to explain things. My automatic transmission instructor, Vahid, was very attentive and always ready to give you a few tips and tricks. In summary, a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere that still teaches you safe driving with a certain level of professionalism. Thanks to this, I was able to get my driver's license today. Thank you very much.

5 out of 5 starsRusslan is truly the very best driving instructor, super friendly, really super! I got my driver's license just one month later and had all 10 lessons in one week, which was really great! I would give this driving school 10 stars if I could, but unfortunately only 5 are possible.

5 out of 5 starsI can definitely recommend the Kessler driving school, and especially my driving instructor, Wahid. His calm and relaxed manner creates an extremely pleasant learning atmosphere. When others would have long since lost patience, Wahid simply explained it to me again. A huge thank you!

Driving school in Herne since 2023
We've been in Herne since 2023 – so by now we've been firmly part of the town for a few years. The branch is at Sodinger Straße 26, 44623 Herne. Together with our branch in Wanne-Eickel, which is also part of Herne, Fahrschule Kessler is represented twice in the town.
The family business was founded in 1973; today the third generation runs it. Every year more than 1,000 people get their licence at our branches combined.
Opening hours on Sodinger Straße
Monday to Friday we're at the branch from 15:00 to 19:00. Come by if you want information or to sign up straight away – you don't need an appointment for that. Prefer to plan ahead? Then arrange a free consultation in Herne. In the conversation we clarify which class you need, what you have to bring and how training with us works.
One contact person in Herne
When you sign up in Herne, you get a training consultant who accompanies you right to the end. Questions about driving lessons, theory or the exam always go to the same person, who knows your training and what comes next. The bosses are also regularly in Herne and always ready to listen. In our app you follow your learning progress and see all payments at a glance.
Licence classes in Herne
At 17 you can start in class B with accompanied driving; at 18 you drive a car on your own. On two wheels you can start as early as 15, in class AM for scooters up to 45 km/h. After that come A1 from 16, A2 from 18 and class A from 24 – or from 20 if you've ridden A2 for two years before.
Trucks (C/CE) are possible from 21, buses (D) from 24; as part of professional driver training as early as 18 and 21. The requirement for this is class B, plus a medical certificate.
Your start in Herne
Whatever the class: you always need an eye test and a first-aid course. You can sign up on Sodinger Straße or online. You also need a licence application at the road traffic office – we take care of handing in the documents. You can start theory lessons right away; you'll find the dates in the theory schedule. As soon as you meet all the requirements, you book your theory exam with TÜV Nord in our app.
Frequently asked questions about our Herne branch
- How much does a class B licence cost at Kessler in Herne?
According to our current price list (as of December 2025), the fixed costs for class B are €1,680.86 – including 12 special drives. Each further practice lesson of 40 min. costs €65.99. On top of that come the TÜV fees: theory €24.99, practical €129.83. How many practice lessons you need beyond that depends on you – our cost calculator works out an example total for you.
- When are theory lessons held in Herne?
We hold theory lessons from Monday to Friday at all our branches, including Herne – from 18:00 to 19:30, no booking needed. You can see which lesson takes place when in our theory schedule.
- How many driving lessons do you need?
Nobody prescribes a fixed number of driving lessons. The special drives are mandatory: for class B, five rural road drives, four motorway drives and three night drives – twelve of 45 minutes each in total. How many practice lessons you additionally need depends on your prior knowledge, your talent and how regularly you practise. Experience shows that most learner drivers need around 20 to 30 additional driving lessons – some need fewer, others considerably more.
- How do I sign up in Herne?
You can sign up directly at our branch (Sodinger Straße 26) or online via our online registration. To register, you need almost nothing at first: your ID card and bank details are enough. If you would like advice first, book a free consultation in Herne.
