Accelerated initial qualification (truck & bus)

Anyone driving buses or trucks commercially needs the initial qualification under the BKrFQG in addition to the driving licence. The accelerated variant comprises 140 teaching units and ends with a theory exam at the IHK (Chamber of Industry and Commerce).

Good to know

Since 10 September 2009 the initial qualification has been mandatory for professional drivers in the EU; anyone who obtained their truck or bus licence before then is exempt. Funding of up to 100% is possible for the programme – we're happy to advise you.
