VKU English – In order to register for the car exam, you must first attend VKU. With this you prepare yourself for difficult traffic situations. The 8 course hours are intensively done in a two-day course . There is no subsequent exam for the course. However, you will learn a lot of things that are important during the driving test and especially later in traffic. The course takes place right next to Zurich main station and can be booked in English. If your English is not good enough, our speaker will be happy to help you summarize the most important things in German, Spanish or French . On this page you will get a short overview of the course topics and you can register directly for the English VKU. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
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 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.
