Handledarkurs in English
Driving Supervisor Course in Sweden Offered by Allians Trafikskola Stockholm
Certified Introduction Course for Private Driving Practice
If you’re planning to supervise someone learning to drive in Sweden, attending a Handledarkurs – also known as the Driving Supervisor Course or Introduction Course – is a legal requirement. This course is mandatory for both the student driver and the supervisor before any private driving lessons can begin.
At Allians Trafikskola Stockholm, we offer the Handledarkurs entirely in English – ideal for expats, international residents and anyone who prefers learning in English. We are a certified driving school with long experience in helping people get their Swedish driving licence.
We offer the course several times a week, at our school in Stockholm.
