Checking a driving school license is the first step that you must do before submitting your documents and paying for tuition. According to Russian legislation, the activities of driving schools for the training of drivers are licensed. This means that if the driving school does not have a license, then you will not receive legally valid documents on the completion of training, and, accordingly, the traffic police has every right to refuse you a driver's license exam.
Instructions
Step 1
Before deciding to start training, visit the driving school of your choice and request that you be shown your educational license and driver training program. Be sure to write down the license number, the full name of the driving school and its address, the name of the state body and official who issued the license.
Step 2
If, in your opinion, everything is in order with the license and the training program, do not rush to pay for the training, as the license can easily turn out to be a perfectly executed fake. Check the license in one of the three suggested ways.
Step 3
The first method (checking the license of the driving school on the databases on the Internet) will require less time from you, but fraught with great risk, since there is a high probability that the information provided will be irrelevant or even false.
Enter the query "How to check the license of a driving school" in the search box of Yandex or Google. In the search results, click on the second site from the top. On the website page on the left side, find the menu "For those who choose a driving school" and click on the menu item "Check licenses of driving schools". The service for checking licenses of Moscow driving schools will open. To obtain the necessary information, enter in the appropriate cells the license number, the name of the driving school and the address of the driving school or part of it. Click on the button "Search in the register of driving schools".
To check the license of a driving school in any constituent entity of the Russian Federation, enter the query "How to check the license of a driving school" in the search box of Yandex or Google. In the search results, select the first site from the drop-down list. The service checks licenses of driving schools throughout Russia. To obtain the necessary information, enter in the appropriate columns the name of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in which the driving school is located, the name of the driving school, and the license number. Click the Search button.
Step 4
The second method will require much more time from you, but you will be completely sure that the driving school you have chosen is carrying out its activities in strict accordance with the law. Visit the Rosobrnadzor authorities of your prefecture or district and request the necessary information there. Or go to the traffic police. The fact is that without agreement with the traffic police, no driving school can carry out its activities and train students. Traffic police officers are required to approve the premises of the driving school. In addition, they are obliged to make sure that the driving school has everything necessary to ensure a normal educational process (educational posters; special training vehicles; properly equipped circuit, etc.). Therefore, in the information received in the traffic police, you can be 100 percent sure.
Step 5
The third way is to find reviews of people trained in this driving school. Ask relatives, friends and acquaintances what they know about this educational institution, what is its reputation, how responsibly employees are in performing their professional duties. Don't forget to inquire about the license.
As for the reviews on the Internet, it is far from the fact that they are real, especially if they are “sweet-sugary” positive, without a single sign of displeasure or negativity. Approach these reviews with some degree of mistrust and carefully analyze all the information at your disposal, since such a review is easy to order on the freelance exchange. Do not trust negative reviews too much, because people usually write them under the influence of strong emotions (anger, anger, irritation), which means they are completely biased. The only exception is the presence of a huge number of such reviews and a complete absence or one or two positive ones. In this case, stay away from such a driving school.
Step 6
Find such reviews, which will describe in detail the educational process, the attitude of the school teachers to the students, the technical condition of the training cars and the race track, etc. with the indication of the pros and cons with logical and coherent text without emotion. Such reviews are more objective and contain valuable information to help you make a decision. But keep in mind that reviews should never be completely trusted, try to gather additional information about the driving school and make a decision by analyzing all the facts you have.
