Did you know that many non-EU expats in Italy are required to take both the Italian theory and practical driving exams in Italian in order to obtain an Italian driver’s license?
You may be one of them!
Getting licensed in Italy can be challenging, especially when simply translating quiz questions isn’t enough to pass.
That’s why I created Getting Your Class B Italian Driver’s License: An English-Language Companion Course, designed specifically to help English speakers better understand difficult theory concepts, tricky quiz questions, and the practical realities of the Italian licensing process.
Based on firsthand experience (I wish I had these resources when I went to Italian driver's ed!), this course helps you go beyond memorization so you can approach both the theory and road exams with greater confidence.
