Your path to the driving licence – faster and cheaper
The Driving Licence Compass (FührerscheinKompass) is the hands-on guide for class B and BF17 in Germany: plan your training like a project, avoid unnecessary spending and walk into every exam prepared. I'm sharing all the experience and knowledge from my time as a self-employed driving instructor. Currently available in German.
Not an off-the-shelf guide
The Compass combines step-by-step planning with knowledge you won't read anywhere else: how driving schools calculate, what examiners really ask – and how to stay calm when it counts.
The 5-phase method
From planning 6–12 months before enrolment to being test-ready – every step at the right time, nothing left to chance.
Insider cost knowledge
Understand how a driving school operates as a business – and why well-prepared learners get appointments faster and reach their licence at lower cost.
Vehicle tech module
Tyres, fluids, pre-drive checks: the technical questions of the practical test – explained with the why, what for and what if.
Controls checklist
22 blocks to tick off: get to know the car at home before the first paid driving lesson – from light switch to engine bay.
Deadlines & paperwork
Eye test, first-aid course, licence application, BF17 documents and all exam deadlines – so nothing expires and nothing is paid twice.
Mindset & test anxiety
Five proven techniques against test anxiety – from paced breathing to the dress rehearsal, each with instructions and the reason it works.
“You don't have to spend €4,500 or more if you stick to this script.”
Choose your path
From the self-study e-book to personal consultation around your training – you decide how much guidance you want. For perspective: a single failed exam costs €300 to €400.

Together we all get better
The Driving Licence Compass is more than an e-book — it is the start of a network. Every path to the licence produces insights: about driving schools, prices, examiners and strategies. When that knowledge flows back and is passed on, everyone benefits — and nobody has to make the same expensive mistakes twice.
Share experiences
Your feedback from driving school and exams flows directly into the next edition. That keeps the Compass current — from practice, for practice.
Recommend it
The Compass saved you time and money? Pass it on — to friends, classmates and club mates. Every referral helps the next person avoid the same hurdles.
Benefit from each other
Many individual journeys add up to shared knowledge: regional price differences, exam experiences, proven strategies — an edge nobody could reach alone.
This is how many individual experiences become one shared head start.
