Guidelines for students

E-learning platform

You will receive your login details at the email address you provided during registration once we have approved your registration. Registrations are usually approved within 24 hours of submission. 

Theory lessons

If you do not already hold a driving licence, the AM/A/B courses include four online theory lessons for first-time learners (EAS). In addition, the car driving course includes four online theory lessons as part of the risk management course (RTK).

Theory lessons will be held online. You will receive your login details in the confirmation email you will receive after registering.

In addition to the compulsory theory modules, the more advanced B/AM and A courses include optional supplementary theory lessons, which are held in a virtual classroom (Teams) under the guidance of a teacher. You will receive instructions on how to attend these lessons in your registration confirmation email.

Theory test

You can sit the theory test once you have completed all the theory lessons included in the course, as well as the self-study assignments.

You may sit the theory test no earlier than one month before you reach the required age. If you are studying under an age exemption, you may sit the theory test from the age of 17. You may sit the Class T theory test from the age of 15.

You must have obtained a provisional driving licence before taking the theory test.

You can book your theory test at ajovarma.fi using the driving school code “epicautokoulu/turku”.

You can book a theory test with no time limit by visiting an Ajovarma office. You must present a certificate of dyslexia when making the booking.

What should I bring to the theory test?

• Money / for the bank card test fee
• Photo ID (passport, national ID card, driving licence)
• Valid driving licence

For driving licence categories C, C1, C1E and D, you will need to bring Form E-100 with you to the test. Remember to ask your driving school for the form after submitting your driving licence application.

Driving lessons and how to book them

Driving lessons on a simulator

Almost all our branches offer online booking for simulator driving lessons. Depending on the content of your course package, you can book the first 2–5 simulator driving lessons included in your course directly via the calendar in the student system. Simulator driving lessons are also available in the evenings and at weekends. If you are unsure of the number of simulator driving lessons included in your course, you can check this in the confirmation message you received, or via the chat function on our website, for example. It is possible to book simulator driving lessons before you have passed your theory test.

Please note that if you pay for the course in instalments via an Epic invoice, 50% of the total amount must be paid before your first driving lesson.

Driving lessons with an instructor

Please contact your driving instructor or the driving lesson booking service to book driving lessons. You can find their contact details on the home page of the student system once you have logged in using your own credentials.

• Please note that for the AM and A categories, the theory test must be passed before booking driving lessons.
• AM120 driving lessons may only be taken once the learner has reached the age of 15.
• A1/A2/A manoeuvring exercises are carried out on the driving school’s enclosed manoeuvring area.

Please make sure you have obtained all the necessary documents, submitted your driving licence application, attended all your theory lessons and paid your driving school fees. Ask for help if you need it! We are available via a range of channels every weekday.

What if I can’t make it to the driving lesson?

Cancellations of driving lessons must be made to your instructor or the simulator control room by 12:00 noon on the working day preceding the lesson at the latest.

If a driving lesson is not cancelled, or is cancelled too late, we will be obliged to charge 50% of the lesson fee in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Please note that the cancellation policy applies to everyone, including simulator driving lessons.
