After receiving your Class D driving licence for the first time, you want to transport passengers commercially. How can you meet the requirements?

To transport passengers commercially after obtaining a Class D driving licence in Germany, you must complete both the accelerated initial qualification and a professional driver training programme.

The accelerated initial qualification includes essential knowledge and training that prepares you for the responsibilities of carrying passengers, while the professional driver training programme provides in-depth understanding and skills specific to commercial transport.

Choosing both options ensures compliance with the regulations set by the German driving authority, ensuring that drivers are adequately trained to ensure passenger safety and adherence to traffic laws. Options like a 35-hour advanced training course are important for further training but are not necessary for meeting the foundational requirements to immediately begin commercial transportation.
