Hur fungerar körkortsutbildning på engelska?
1. Initial assessment lesson
We evaluate your existing driving skills and create a personalised training plan in English, no language barrier.
2. Theory instruction in English
Comprehensive theory sessions covering all areas of the Swedish test: road signs, speed limits, right-of-way rules, alcohol & drugs, eco-driving, and hazard situations.
3. Practical driving lessons
Driving lessons in English with an instructor who adapts to your experience level. We practice in real traffic environments around Flemingsberg and Farsta.
4. Risk education (Riskettan & Risktvåan)
Two mandatory modules: a theory session on alcohol and drugs (Risk 1) and a practical skid-pad session (Risk 2). We book these for you and explain what to expect.
5. Theory test (kunskapsprov)
Book your theory test in English at Trafikverket. We run mock tests until you consistently score 52+ out of the 65 scored questions.
6. Driving test (uppkörning)
Practical driving test at Trafikverket Södertörn or Farsta. We offer a test-area lesson and a test car for your exam day.
The Swedish theory test in English
The kunskapsprov consists of 70 questions covering road signs, traffic rules, eco-driving, alcohol regulations and hazard perception, of which 65 are scored. You need at least 52 correct out of the 65 scored questions (about 80%) within 50 minutes. The test is available in English at Trafikverket. Din Körskola prepares you with English-language theory material, study guides and mock tests covering all question categories. We know which topics catch international students off guard: roundabout rules, silent yield obligations (tyst väjningsplikt) and Swedish road sign subtleties, and we address these explicitly.
Why choose English-instruction driving lessons?
For internationals, expats and newly arrived residents, trying to learn complex traffic rules in a second language creates unnecessary stress and slows progress. At Din Körskola, our English-speaking instructors bring both linguistic fluency and deep knowledge of the Swedish traffic system. We regularly help people from the US, UK, Australia, Canada, India, Nigeria and many other countries navigate the Swedish licensing process efficiently. Whether you need to start from scratch or just need a top-up from your home country's experience, we have a format that fits.
Vi erbjuder även körkortsutbildning på arabiska, turkiska, syrianska och persiska — för hela familjen och vänner som också vill ta körkort.

Frågor om körkort på engelska
Can I take the Swedish theory test in English?+
Yes, Trafikverket offers the theory test (kunskapsprov) in English. We help you prepare with theory material in English.
I have a driving licence from outside the EU. What do I need to do?+
If your licence is from outside the EU/EEA, you generally need to take the full Swedish driving test. We'll assess your current skills and create an efficient training plan.
Do you offer lessons for people converting an American/Canadian/Australian licence?+
Yes, we have experience with North American and Australian drivers. The main differences are roundabout rules and speed limits, and we focus on what matters.
How much does a driving licence cost in Sweden?+
Total cost typically ranges from 10 000 to 20 000 SEK depending on how many lessons you need. Our packages lower the price to as low as 900 SEK per lesson. Contact us for a personalised estimate.
Are all your instructors able to teach in English?+
We have English-speaking instructors at all three locations. Contact us to book with the right instructor.
What is the theory test like in Sweden?+
The theory test (kunskapsprov) has 70 questions, of which 65 are scored. You need at least 52 correct out of the 65 scored questions (about 80%) within 50 minutes. It can be taken in English at Trafikverket. We prepare you with full mock tests until you consistently score above 52 out of 65.
How long does it take to get a Swedish driving licence?+
On average 15–20 lessons for a beginner. With a structured package, most students complete the process in 3–12 months. If you already have significant driving experience, fewer lessons may be needed.
Do I need a Swedish personnummer to get a driving licence?+
Yes, a Swedish personal identity number (personnummer) is required to apply for a driving licence. If you have a coordination number (samordningsnummer) instead, contact Transportstyrelsen for guidance.
What are the main differences between Swedish and British/American traffic rules?+
Key differences: in roundabouts, traffic already inside has priority, so you yield when entering. Speed limits are usually 50 km/h in town, not 30 or 40. The blood alcohol limit is 0.2 per mille, effectively zero. There's also a mandatory risk education that includes driving on ice (halkkörning). We cover all of this in your theory sessions.
Can I use my foreign driving experience to reduce the number of lessons needed?+
Yes. We assess your current level in an initial lesson and tailor the training accordingly. Experienced drivers from similar traffic systems may need as few as 8–12 lessons focused on Swedish-specific rules.
