First aid and the accompanying driver

During the course you complete a compulsory first aid course with an exam. If you pass the exam before turning 18, you must drive with an accompanying driver for at least 3 months; you register this person using the form below.

What if I fail the exam the first time

You only retake the part you failed. You are entitled to 3 retakes. We register you for the retake and the traffic inspectorate sets the date. Registration costs €7.50 and the retake drive with the examiner €25 plus the administrative stamp (€12.50).

If you cannot attend the exam, your absence must be excused with a certificate from a doctor or an authority.
