Familiarity and basic controls
Meet the teacher, explain basic controls, learn to position the vehicle in the field and first application. In this phase the student only handles the steering wheel.
Class B practical courses
Practical car training program
Detailed overview of the courses, from getting to know the vehicle to driving in Kifisias, highway, test site and mountain.
Philosophy of education
The plan is a guide, not a rigid rule
The program is not binding. It is adjusted according to the performance of each student and concerns a beginner student aged 18. The following is based on faculty experience and is intended to show the logical progression of practical training.
Detailed courses
From basic control to complex conditions
The compulsory 25 hours of 45 minutes are usually done in double 45 minute sessions, i.e. around 13 lessons. If necessary, the program is adjusted so that the student progresses with real safety.
Lever and gears
Application of the first lesson and then an explanation of the gear lever and the correct use of the gears.
Clutch
After the student applies the knowledge of the first two lessons, we proceed to the explanation and correct use of the clutch.
Uphills and balance
Repeated clutch use, harder hill practice, learning clutch balance and driving on slightly more central roads.
Throttle, brake and attitude
Correct use of accelerator and brake, special emphasis on braking and first substantial contact with behavior towards pedestrians, vehicles and bicycles.
Narrow and uphill roads
Driving on narrow and uphill roads to refine clutch, brake and steering, increasing simultaneous handling.
Reverse
Learning to backtrack in a straight line, first very slowly and then at a faster speed, so that the student learns to correct mistakes quickly and safely.
Park and start uphill
Parking in a large space and then in a narrower uphill or downhill space. Learning to start using the parking brake on a steep hill.
Back angle
Back angle learning with and without stops. When the student is ready, practice also takes place in a real parking lot.
Kifisias and the center of Athens
Increasing average speed, driving in Kifisias, overtaking, changing lanes and driving in the center of Athens to familiarize yourself with complex situations.
Highway
Driving on the motorway, entering and exiting, overtaking, safety distances, emergencies and driving at the speed limit of the road.
Examination area
Course in the examination area so that the student becomes familiar with the roads and requirements of the examination area.
Mountain driving
Fast mountain driving, correct turn lines, quick downshifts, gradient calculation and evaluation of each turn.
