True professionals! I'm really happy that I have chosen this driving school. I was driving with Marco, but I also had a chance to practice with Wilco and Monique. All of them are very supportive and committed to their work. School is providing a nice, new car and flexible schedule, the instructor picks you up from your home. I had lessons in English, there was no problem with that. I've passed my exam from 2nd try, which I think is a great result. I have received useful tips about driving which I will remember my whole life. Thank you!Lees meer

I passed on the first try! Need I say more? Monique was direct when she told me that she was strict and would instruct me in a way that would have me pass the test and that she did. She was also very flexible with our practice time, she was patient and we laughed a lot. I would highly recommend this driving school and especially Monique. As an adult taking driving lessons in a foreign country this was the driving school and experience I needed. Thank you Verkeersschool Cordewener/Driving School Maastricht!Lees meer

Ideal driving school for international students with friendly & professional instructors. It has been easy to schedule driving lessons to fit into a busy schedule, and instructions have been very individual to focus on improving personal weaknesses. The instructors Marco, Wilco and Monique are very dedicated with good advice at hand.It's not only about passing your exam, but also driving safely. Thanks to Driving School Maastricht, I can now say that I'm able to do both confidently!Lees meer

I would strongly recommend Driving school Maastricht for anyone who wants not only to pass their driving test, but also know how to drive safely. Driving School Maastricht is a trustworthy school. Marco, Monique and Wilco were really dedicated, punctual and very professional. Each lesson was fun and always in good humor. They quickly identified my weaknesses and worked on that till I overcame it. They were also very flexible to fit in my working schedules. They taught me with all their heart and not only for the sake of doing business! After a car accident, I was really afraid and nervous to sit behind a steering wheel. Marco was really very patient and taught me how to take confidence in myself and drive safely. He always corrected my mistakes with a smile or with a good laugh. He also offered me excellent advises on how to drive safely so that not only I passed my exams but also became a better driver.As a foreigner who do not speak Dutch, all my classes were done in English and they even helped in arranging my written exam which was really helpful! I did not had to worry at all about all the administrative stuffs. I would like to thank Driving School Maastricht and my instructors Marco, Monique and Wilco who made it possible for me to pass my exam and drive without fear!Lees meer

The national average is 40 to 45 hours.

Can I get a refund if I end up with lessons that I paid for but do not need?
