Bus training — theory and practice

Class D applies to buses with more than 8 passenger seats and requires a valid class B. It involves its own theory exam (supplement) and a practical exam. RoadReview runs class D training as its own enrolment with the class B prerequisite stored.

  • Class D enrolment with class B prerequisite
  • Class D theory supplement per FahrschAusbO
  • Bus assignment in the fleet

Special drives and practice in passenger transport

Practical class D training covers basic manoeuvres and special drives (overland, motorway, night). RoadReview counts drives per type, allows corrections with history and pins notes via geo-feedback. Required quantities come from the licence-class catalogue.

  • Counts per drive type with correction history
  • Geo-feedback per drive on the route driven
  • Required quantities from the catalogue, class-specific

Time limit, basic qualification and record

Class D is limited to five years and renewed with a medical check. Commercial passenger transport also needs the BKrFQG basic qualification — a separate record. RoadReview manages the training and produces the digital record.

  • Time limit visible as class metadata
  • BKrFQG basic qualification clearly a separate record
  • Exam-readiness score as guidance — a recommendation, not a guarantee

Frequently asked questions

What does class D cover?

Class D applies to buses with more than 8 passenger seats, optionally with a trailer up to 750 kg. It is the class for passenger transport in scheduled and coach services.

From what age is class D possible?

Normally from 24; with a BKrFQG basic qualification an earlier start (from 20/21 in some cases) is possible. RoadReview stores the class B prerequisite and requirements per enrolment.

Does class D need a theory exam?

Yes. Unlike the add-on class DE, class D requires its own theory exam on the class-specific supplement plus a practical exam. RoadReview calculates the requirements per enrolment.

Does RoadReview manage the BKrFQG basic qualification?

RoadReview manages the class D licence training. The BKrFQG basic qualification for commercial passenger transport is a separate record and not part of the licence exam.
