FAQ
WAB English rents the training facility from Transportschule AG and Verkehrszentrum Tuggen AG and uses their event licence. You can find both on the official list on 2-phasen.ch
The WAB course (Zweiphasenausbildung) is a required training/course for new drivers in Switzerland and is mandatory for anyone who recently completed their Swiss driver’s licence.
On your driving licence in section 4b (expiration date). If there is a date, you must attend the course. If there are only stars (no expiration date), you do not have to attend the course. Registration is not possible in this case, as you already have a definitive driving licence. Congratulations!
This is because you already have a definitive driver's licence and do not have to attend the WAB course because you already had a foreign driver's licence before the Swiss one.
See above “Where can I see if I have to attend the course”
This is because the foreign driving licence was issued less than three years before you changed it to a Swiss licence, or you renewed your foreign driving licence before you came to Switzerland.
In the first year after your driving exam.
I recommend that you register for a course in the near future, otherwise you risk a fine.
You can still register for a course. With the invoice you receive after registration you can request a "one-day-driving-permit" from the road traffic department of your canton. This permit allows you to drive on the day of the course.
Yes, it is mandatory that each participant has a car to participate. If you own a car, I strongly recommend to participate with your own car. You don't have to worry about your car, it will not be damaged during the course.
No problem! You have the possibility to rent a car. You can add this during the registration process. It costs 70 Sfr. The car will then be ready for you at the course location on the day of the course. If the booking is somehow not possible for your chosen course, then you will have to choose another date, as all cars are already booked.
The WAB course takes 7.5 hours starting at 9am to 5:30pm.
