Whether you are a new driver or an experienced driver looking to get Qatar Driving License, choosing the right driving school can be a difficult process. Prospective students should consider factors like cost and location without sacrificing quality instruction.
How To Choose A Driving School
Driving schools in Qatar are regulated by the Ministry of Interior’s General Directorate of Traffic. All driving schools in Qatar are expected to follow a unified curriculum and maintain a similar standard of training.
However, there might be some differences in the quality of instructors, facilities provided and customer service. Here are some tips on how to choose your driving school:
- Seek personal recommendations from friends and colleagues who did their training recently.
- Check online reviews, however, note that reviewers may be biased depending on the result of their driving tests.
- See the distance of the driving school from your home and plan your transportation options. Most driving schools offer free transportation, however, often their timing may not be best suited for you.
- Visit the driving school, ask questions about the program, facilities provided etc.
- Before you enrol, ask about the waiting period. Some schools are so busy that they may take weeks or even months before your training starts.

Hi,my name is salim,i having oman licence ,but expired in 2021 February.Is it possible to convert to a qatar licence or attend through driving school to get a licence. someone please advice
Hi Salim you need to give a signal theory test and direct road test.
No need to take driving classes but for signal test you need to take classes.
Get your Eye test and register at traffic dept of any driving school for theory and road test.
firstly, the prices are ridiculous and I don’t even know why they charge this much apart from their competency and test eligibility… a lot of people drive badly here and the biggest joke when you see 10-15 year old’s driving 4×4’s madly…
HI EVERYONE !!!
I HAVE LIGHT MOTOR VEHICLE IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET DIRECT TRY FOR MANUAL LICENSE.
Even if you have a Dubai licence and not matter how old it is , you will still have to pass a test for a driver’s license in Qatar..you will definitely benefit from the fact that you will have to do a half course instead of a full course …..😎
