An automatic driving license offers a lot of convenience and comfort while driving. In contrast to a manual car, you do not have to shift or clutch with an automatic, you only have to accelerate, brake and steer. This ensures less stress and more attention for the traffic. Do you want to switch from your automatic driving license to manual later? Keep in mind that you will then have to retake the exam in a manual car.

Just got my driver's license! Very happy that I chose Verkeersschool Caland. The instructors are very friendly, explain everything well, and provide good feedback. You will drive near the CBR, allowing you to practice the various exam routes thoroughly. I highly recommend Verkeersschool Caland!

I had a very good experience at this driving school. Communication is good, with a handy app; they are easily reachable by phone with a friendly and helpful employee, and there is good email contact. I am very grateful to my driving instructor Seref; he is easy to chat with in the car, but he also explains everything very well. But above all, I want to thank everyone on the team at Driving School Caland for the flexibility they showed when I failed my practical exam three weeks before a long trip. And even though this left me with only one week to apply for an emergency exam (whereas normally 4-5 weeks are required), they still managed to schedule an exam within that week. They even scheduled an extra driving lesson at the last minute, so I was eventually able to travel with my driver's license. I have always found instructor Seref to be an instructor you can really rely on, who remains calm and composed even when you don't parallel park properly in reverse ten times in a row. I am incredibly grateful and I would absolutely recommend this driving school!

Great driving school, good equipment and, more importantly: the instructors are highly skilled, friendly, and know how to convey everything I needed to know in a calm and clear manner! Thanks for the help in getting my motorcycle license.

I am more than positive about Driving School Caland! From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease, especially thanks to my instructor Seref – truly the best! He is calm, relaxed, clear, and incredibly fun to be around. I’m secretly going to miss the early Tuesday mornings with him.

Today I passed on the first try (after 4 months of lessons) and I felt relaxed the whole ride – I even enjoyed it! That says a lot about how well prepared I am.

In addition, Driving School Caland is excellently organized. Everything runs smoothly, agreements are clear, and communication is top-notch. The staff are all friendly and committed.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get their driver's license in a pleasant and professional manner!

I passed my moped practical exam at Driving School Caland with just a few lessons! I am very happy with it and will definitely come back when I take my car practical exam.

Driving instructor Yasin gives good and clear explanations about what is and isn't allowed on the road, and during the ride he gives good instructions and tips. As a result, I had a very pleasant experience during the driving lessons!

I passed! 😁
I am very grateful to Driving School Caland and instructor Danny! I came from different experiences at other schools and I can say that this was the best choice for me!
I was very afraid of the practical exam, but Danny always said: “It’s just driving a lap, that’s all it is.”
Thank you for making me believe that it was possible!
