Optimally prepared for maximum results
We give driving lessons in steps, according to the RIS method (Driving Lessons in Steps). You also get a practice book. This contains homework that you can do prior to each lesson, so you are well prepared behind the wheel every time. Because this way you are better prepared for your lessons, the hours behind the wheel are much more effective.
Also, we always give two 60-minute lessons in a row. You will need fewer driving lessons in total to pass your exam because of this unique approach.

Answers to frequently asked questions
Here you will find the most frequently asked questions and answers. Do you have another question? Then you can always contact us at info@rijschoolzomer.nl
When may I start car driving lessons?
You may take driving lessons as early as 16.5 years of age and take practical tests starting on your 17th birthday. If you pass, you may only drive with a guide until your 18th birthday. For example, your parents, grandparents or neighbors. This companion must be at least 27 years old and have held a driver's license for 5 years. Also, your companion must never have committed a serious traffic offense. Your escort(s) must be listed on your escort pass.
Note: apply for the supervisor pass right at the beginning of your driver training. This is because you can only apply for your driver's license at the municipality upon presentation of this companion pass.
How many driving lessons do I need before I can get my license?
According to a CBR survey of exam candidates (2021), the average number of lesson hours for obtaining a driver's license is around 43. But since everyone learns at their own pace, the number of driving lessons you need naturally varies from person to person. Our instructor can therefore best estimate how many driving lessons you will need. You can find more information on CBR's website.
What is the success rate of Rijschool zomer?
Because of our unique teaching method and experienced driving instructors, our students are well guided during lessons. This is also reflected in our success rate, which is above the national average.
Should I already have certain knowledge of cars before I start car driving lessons?
No, you don't need any prior knowledge. But it does work to your advantage if you already have some knowledge of theory, then you can immediately apply this knowledge during your driving lessons.
What is the average length of a car driving lesson?
A driving lesson with us lasts 60 minutes, but we routinely schedule two lessons in a row. So you have 120 minutes of lessons each time, so you learn to drive even faster.
Can I also take driving lessons in an automatic?
Yes, that is possible. We have both a switch car and an automatic lesson car.
Can I also take driving lessons in another language?
Yes, we have Dutch-, English- and Spanish-speaking WRM-certified instructors.
Can I also take driving lessons in the evenings and weekends?
Yes, we also give driving lessons in the evenings and on Saturdays.
What cars do you teach in?
Our teaching cars are a Volkswagen Golf (2022) and Volkswagen Polo (2022).
Where will I be picked up?
The pick-up location is at each city's Central Station. We feel it is important to devote the entire lesson to teaching and to you as a student. By having a central pick-up location, we want to avoid you being mostly busy taking the other student(s) home.
