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).

How it works
- 01
140 teaching units of coursework (accelerated initial qualification)
- 02
Theory exam at the IHK – no practical exam part required
- 03
Qualification: driver qualification card (FQN) and code 95 in your licence
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.
