About VKU English

Dario Lichtensteiger: Speaker for VKU in English

“With a lot of enthusiasm, I have been a driving instructor for 14 years. In my studies at the Lucerne University of Teacher Education, I already dedicated my master’s thesis to the development of driving competence. The focus of my work at that time was the influence of feedback on driving competence. I am looking forward to exploring the most successful learning methods with you in our driving laboratory (DriveLab) and to ignite the fire in you to learn something new. All this in fluent English and a humorous atmosphere”.

FAQ

When do I have to do the VKU?

It is best to take care of the VKU immediately after passing the theory test. Then you benefit from the VKU knowledge during the driver training and can apply it. You must have completed the course by the time you register for the exam at the latest. Since the VKU can no longer expire since January 1st, 2021, nothing speaks against attending the course early.

What does VKU mean?

VKU is the abbreviation for traffic education . As the name suggests, the theory lessons cover everything to do with behavior in traffic.

How long does the VKU course take?

With us, the VKU is done in two days. There are driving schools that spread the course over 4 days. The bottom line is that 8 hours must be attended. So two times four or four times two. Unfortunately, due to legal reasons, the course cannot be taken on one day.

How much does the Verkehrskunde cost?

The VKU costs CHF 240.- with us.
As always, our prices are “all inclusive”. So teaching aids, drinks and fruits are included.
