VKU English – Course content
Watch our video to get an idea of what VKU is and how we teach.
The VKU is divided into the following four topics:
Traffic vision
The first double lesson is about recognizing typical traffic situations at an early stage and reacting correctly. We also learn what sensorimotor skills mean and how they can best be trained while driving.
Traffic dynamics
Everything here revolves around the vehicle and the forces involved in driving. The right speed in the various driving situations is crucial in road safety. Also the technical condition of the vehicle.

About VKU English
Dario Lichtensteiger: Speaker for VKU in English
“With a lot of enthusiasm, I have been a driving instructor for 15 years. In my studies at the Lucerne University of 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 skills. 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 “Verkehrskundeunterricht” or in English: 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.
VKU Zurich offers traffic lessons in English for anyone who wants to brush up on their skills. The courses cover a wide range of topics, from basic road safety to advanced driving techniques. Best of all, the lessons are offered in a fun and interactive way that makes learning new things easy and enjoyable. Whether you’re a novice or experienced driver, VKU Zurich can help you become a safer and more confident driver. So why don’t you sign up today? With DriveLab VKU Zurich, you’re just a click away from traffic lessons.
