What is the Training Track at Dallah School from Registration to License Issuance?

To obtain a driving license from Dallah Driving School (DDC), the trainee passes through an organized training track that relies on integrating theoretical and practical education to ensure full readiness for the road.

This track is mandatory, and it is not possible to transition from one stage to another without passing the preceding stage successfully. Below are the approved steps to reach license issuance:

Stage	Details
Registration	Booking an appointment via Absher — every Thursday after 1 PM
Theoretical Training	Electronic courses — traffic safety, road rules
Theoretical Test	After completing the courses — appointment based on priority and availability
Practical Training	After passing the theory — field training with a certified trainer
Traffic Test	The official test before the traffic authority
License	Receiving the driving license — renewal later via the traffic department

1. Registration and Appointment Booking

Your steps begin electronically and exclusively through the Absher platform of the Ministry of Interior, where appointments are opened weekly, usually on Thursday after 1:00 PM. You choose the nearest Dallah driving school branch to you and set an appointment for the initial skill assessment, based on which the appropriate training program for you will be determined (as mentioned in the programs table).

2. Theoretical Training

After paying the fees prescribed for the level specified for you, the theoretical training stage begins, focusing on interactive lectures, either in person or online, which include:

• Traffic safety systems and accident prevention.
• Understanding the meanings of road signs, instructional, and warning signs.
• Basic car mechanics and how to deal with sudden breakdowns.

3. Theoretical Test

Upon finishing the theoretical hours allocated for your program, you undergo a computerized theoretical test consisting of multiple-choice questions that measure your comprehension of traffic rules and signs. Passing this test is an essential prerequisite for moving to the field.

4. Practical Training and Simulation

Here you move to the actual application, and this stage is divided into two parts:

• Simulators: Virtual training inside environmentally equipped halls that simulate difficult driving conditions and changing weather to generate quick and safe reactions for you.
• Field Training: Real driving of the school’s cars inside Dallah’s closed fields accompanied by certified trainers to learn control, turning, parking skills (all types of parking), and dealing with intersections.

5. Practical Traffic Test (Final)

After completing the practical training hours and the trainer’s confidence in your readiness, the final practical test date is set. This test is conducted inside the school’s field, and its evaluation is carried out by certified examiners from the General Directorate of Traffic to assess your effective ability to drive safely and fully comply with the regulations.

6. Issuance and Receipt of the License

Upon passing the practical test successfully, two simple steps remain for you:

• Undergoing the approved medical examination (if you have not uploaded it previously).
• Paying the license issuance fees through your bank account (SADAD).
  With this, your official license is printed and received immediately from the school’s headquarters, making you a qualified and authorized driver to drive.

After receiving your new license successfully, the training stage ends and the actual pleasure of driving begins. Our role at the Carly website and application starts now; you do not need to risk buying a used car without ensuring its safety, as it provides you with thousands of fully inspected cars to choose your first car with confidence.
