Driving school in Geneva

In Geneva, driving schools are located in every neighborhood, and instructors meet their students in the city; the languages of instruction are listed on each instructor's profile. Before practical lessons, a learner's permit is required, issued by the Cantonal Vehicle Office (OCV) after passing the theory test; a first aid course is required to apply for it. An 8-hour awareness course must be taken before the practical exam. Driving schools in Geneva post their available time slots on agenda.ch.
