Whether you are a new driver or an experienced driver looking to get a Qatar Driving License, choosing the right driving school can be complicated. Prospective students should consider factors like cost and location without sacrificing quality instruction.
Here is the list of driving schools in Qatar with their contact information, website links and course fees to give you an idea about the cost of learning.
How To Choose A Driving School
The Ministry of Interior’s General Directorate of Traffic regulates driving schools in Qatar. All driving schools in Qatar are expected to follow a unified curriculum and maintain a similar standard of training.
However, there might be 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 to the driving school from your home and plan your transportation options. Most driving schools offer free transportation, but sometimes their timing may not be best suited to you.
- Visit the driving school and ask questions about the program, facilities, etc.
- Before you enrol, ask about the waiting period. Some schools are so busy that it takes weeks or even months to train.
