OFSA 2
Also known as: Optimised Driving School Training Stage 2
OFSA 2 refers to the second stage of the Optimised Driving School Training reform proposed by Germany's federal transport ministry. Status, scope, and timing vary by source — no binding nationwide date is set as of this writing.
OFSA 2 — Optimierte Fahrschulausbildung Stufe 2 — is the follow-on to OFSA 1, intended to restructure German driver training around competency-based learning objectives. As of the date of this entry, draft concepts and pilot phases are in preparation across several federal states; a binding nationwide effective date and the exact mandatory scope are not finally set, to the best of our knowledge.
For specifics — required hours, assessment criteria, transition rules — refer to the latest publication from the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV/BMVI) and from the German Driving Instructors’ Association. This entry makes no compliance promises.
RoadReview does not claim OFSA 2 conformity until the framework is legally binding and a recognised conformity process exists.
