"AP Driving School - Highly Recommended! (Passed Theory & Practical First Try) I chose AP Driving School about a year ago, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The entire process was incredibly smooth, leading to me passing both my theoretical and practical exams on the first attempt! ⭐ Exceptional Administration & Support (Thank You, Anke!) When I was initially shopping for schools, AP instantly stood out. Out of the five schools I visited, AP was the only one with a receptionist who spoke fluent English and handled customers with true professionalism. Anke was my main contact, and she was an absolute star—polite, diligent, and meticulous in explaining all the requirements and fees. Her support was consistent throughout. I even had a small discrepancy in a charge that looked like a bug in the booking app. After I explained the detailed breakdown, Anke took the time to fully understand my point and then processed a refund to match the expected balance. Her responsiveness made the whole administrative side stress-free. 📚 Effective Theoretical Lessons The theoretical lessons are very well-structured. I initially expected more elaborate, lengthy lectures, but I quickly realized their strategy. They use a laser-focused approach, diving deep into critical chapters (like priority rules and road signs), giving detailed explanations, and discussing real-world scenarios, which I really appreciated. Other chapters were skimmed, but as I practiced the mock tests in the app, I understood why: the structure guides you to focus your study time most efficiently. Plus, the instructors were always open to answering any questions about the mock tests and content. 🚗 Practical Lessons: Ask for Quintus Tiedemann For the driving lessons, I highly recommend asking for Quintus Tiedemann. He is an outstanding instructor—kind, patient, elaborate, consistent, logical and rational in his teaching. He definitely pushes for precision, which might be interpreted as strict, but it's exactly what you need to pass. I remember missing a blue direction sign once; he made us reverse to the exact spot just to show me what I missed, stressing that the examiner would find missing a traffic sign unacceptable. That moment was a valuable lesson in attention to detail, and it clearly paid off! Tip: Do not hesitate to speak your mind. He listens and willing to brainstorm with you. Not everything can be found in the book. If you face confusing situations or if you are not sure what happened, draw the situation and ask Quintus to reiterate the right maneuver to take. Conclusion: My overall experience with AP was fantastic. The smooth process is thanks to Anke, I passed the theory in one go thanks to the great instructors, and I passed the practical in one go thanks to Quintus. If you are looking for a reliable and professional driving school in Germany, especially if you need English support, look no further than AP."

"Honest opinion, I'm rating from the perspective of an English speaker seeking an English speaking driving school, your experience as a German speaker may vary. Receptionist is nice and friendly, initially the communication was fast and fluid, till you start taking driving classes. My experience is if you ask for changes or for new appointments, you may not get a response for couple of weeks or up to a month. There is no appointments almost, only if you reachout which makes their book your own appointments system pretty much useless. There is no availabilities overall and it may take you up to two months in between sessions which is a bit too long. The instructor is condescending and rude, even if you point it out to him, they seem to lack understanding. (Depending on your instructor probably). I suggest looking for different schools overall since i had a much better experience in a different school."

"I had a great experience here and passed my Class A motorcycle license on the first attempt! Matthias is a fantastic instructor.. fun, supportive, and always gave clear feedback to help me improve. Anke was very polite and responsive with all the admin work. Since my German isn’t great, I really appreciated that all theory and practical classes were in English. The bikes were in excellent condition and fun to ride. The best part? they scheduled my practical exam within 20 days after I had completed my mandatory drives. Highly recommended!"

"I passed my driving exam today, and I owe it to the amazing support from Asphalt Profis Fahrschule APF GmbH! From the very beginning, I started from scratch, and the entire process was incredibly well-organized and smooth. A special thanks to my instructor, Andre Frenzel, who was patient, professional, and clear in his explanations. He always pointed out both my mistakes and successes, which helped me improve with each lesson. The entire course was in English, which made everything much easier for me. The school’s organization and attention to students were outstanding, making the learning experience enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend Asphalt Profis Fahrschule to anyone looking for a well-structured and supportive driving school! 🚗💨 Thank you so much for everything – see you on the road! Heheh 🚗😄"

"Top driving school in Berlin. Professional, friendly, German and English speaking, efficient, modern. I had a great experience and passed on the first try. I went to them after seeing the passionate reviews. Now, after having gone through the process I can see why people liked them so much. The sign up and admin support by Anke and Susan were great. They always answered promptly any questions I had via email or through their platform. The theory lessons with Matthias and Nico were insightful and actually engaging because of their styles. The preparation was simple and clear all the way until the theory test. The driving lessons are easily booked and paid with their system. The process is smooth. Matthias is a superstar. Very attentive to detail, he helps you develop a safe, smart and efficient driving style, and to acquire the right mindset by understanding the bigger picture of the traffic system in Germany. He's very kind and has a great sense of humor. Thank you Matthias, Nico, Anke and the team - I had a great time."

"After a terrible experience with Fahrschule Südstern, I switched to Asphalt Profi, and I can’t recommend them enough. Thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I regained my self-confidence. Their mobile app made everything so convenient—from booking lessons and making payments to accessing important documents. The team at Asphalt Profi is transparent, accommodating, supportive, and offers lessons in English. While they may be more expensive than some other driving schools, it is worth it, especially given their luxurious, modern, and comfortable cars."

"I can't recommend this driving school enough! The staff are attentive, skilled, and very professional. They offer a good selection of cars and bikes, and what's more—they provide lessons and support in English. Thanks to their excellent training, I was able to pass both my category A and B practical exams on the first try. Make sure to follow the trainers' advice and take the suggested number of lessons for the best results. A special shoutout to their realistic simulator, which is perfect for beginners to practice safely after completing the theory exam, before stepping into a real vehicle. Thank you to the entire team for such a fantastic course!"

"Professional instructors determined to produce professional drivers! You don’t know German? Don’t worry, in Asphalt, Atleast most of them speak English! Thank you Anke and Susann! You worked tirelessly to make all bookings seem simple and easy right from practical lessons to Dekra appointments! I didn’t have any idea about driving when I took a decision to start my driving lessons at Asphalt driving school, but the instructors have the expertise to help you get the concept right from the basics! Mr.Mathias was my instructor, he is such a professional and patient at the same time I remember I did give him quite a hard time during the entire time! 4 stars because it’s a bit at a costly side but worth the hype!"
