About the courses
What is Swedish risk education?
Risk education (riskutbildning) is a mandatory part of getting a Swedish driving licence for cars and motorcycles. It has two parts: Risk 1 (theory on alcohol, drugs, fatigue and risky behaviour) and Risk 2 (practical driving on a skid pan or manoeuvre track). Both must be completed before you take the theory test and the driving test.
How long does it take?
Risk 1 takes about 3.5 hours excluding breaks. Risk 2 for car takes about 3–4 hours excluding breaks. Count on half a day per part, or a full day for the combo course.
Is risk education required before the driving test?
Yes. According to the Swedish Transport Agency you must have completed risk education before the driver test, meaning both the theory test and the driving test.
Do I need my own car for Risk 2?
No. You drive our automatic cars and it is included in the price. You may drive an automatic here even if your test is in a manual car.
What do I need to know before Risk 2?
No theory knowledge is required, but you must be able to handle a car and feel comfortable at country-road speeds, since you drive on your own. Do the skid pan near the end of your training.
Are motorcycle courses available in English?
No. Motorcycle courses are held in Swedish. Courses in English are for car (category B) only. On a course in Swedish you may bring your own interpreter (at least 16) free of charge.
Requirements, validity and cancellation
Do I need a learner permit (körkortstillstånd) to attend?
No. You do not need a learner permit for either part. For Risk 2 you do need good driving experience, since you drive on your own.
How long is the course valid?
Until the day you get your licence, or at most five years from the course date.
Do I have to do Risk 1 before Risk 2?
No, the order is up to you. Both parts must be completed before you take the theory test and the driving test.
What should I bring?
Valid photo ID (BankID is not accepted) and clothes for the weather, since part of the training is outdoors. Arrive 15 minutes before the start.
I am coming by bus, how do I get the last bit?
We pick you up at the bus stop Stora Övattnet (stop B) about 15 minutes before the course starts. Bus 300 towards Kinna from Gothenburg stops there.
What is required to pass?
Taking part in the whole session and reaching all the course goals. ID and sobriety are checked before the course starts. Missing ID, arriving late or being under the influence of alcohol or drugs means you are refused without a refund.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Yes, our courses can be rescheduled. You cancel or reschedule through your login in the customer portal. Online purchases have a 14-day right of withdrawal as long as the service has not started.
