Costa Chatzis - Driving school-CH

The driving license cat. B makes you privately and professionally independent. As a driving instructor, it is my job and pleasure to motivate you and to accompany you personally: from the emergency helper course to the practical test! And straight to your destination without any frills. You set the pace, because I adapt the lessons to your strengths. True to the motto from simple to difficult. My driving lessons are at least 50 minutes.

Your meeting point is in the examination area of the city of Zurich: at Albisriederplatz. 

Your driving lessons start in the inner courtyard behind the “Coop” at Albisriederplatz in private parking spaces next to the theory room.For driving lessons I use modern vehicles based on the latest automotive technology

I love my job and want learner drivers to feel comfortable at all times. That is why we work towards achievable goals every driving hour. According to the motto: from simple to difficult. Driving lessons end with ratings and feedback. In my opinion the most important part of the driving lesson. So that you can get to your goal faster.As a committed driving instructor with a federal certificate, I am constantly improving my methodology and my teaching materials. So that my methodology always meets the latest requirements, I continue to train myself.

Do you speak English, French or Greek better? No problem!! I speak all of these languages fluently and without an accent :)

You should exchange your foreign driver's license within one year of the date of entry into Switzerland. Early applications are recommended as formalities might extend the waiting period in select cases. The driving authorization with the foreign driver's license expires after one year. It is important that you do not drive in Switzerland after the expiry of the exchange period.

However, you can exchange the foreign driver's license at any time after this year has expired. If your registration took place after the first year of residence in Switzerland, you will have to absolve that driving examination („Kontrollfahrt“) within the space of three months. The driving examination is performed with automatic transmission. With the Swiss driver's license you can also drive cars with manual transmission.

Important: You cannot repeat this practical exam („Kontrollfahrt“). If you fail you will have to start all over again!

If you are a resident of Switzerland and obtained your driver's license abroad, the following rule applies: Driving licenses obtained abroad are only accepted if you have been living there for at least 12 months. The stay must be proven with official documents.
