Category B driving course in Warsaw: prices, requirements and benefits

15 September 2026 · 8 min read

A Category B licence lets you drive a passenger car in Poland and across the EU. Here are the current course prices at OSK Lauto in Warsaw, the formal requirements for foreigners and locals, and the benefits of professional training.

A Category B driving licence allows you to drive cars up to 3.5 tonnes. It is the most popular licence category in Poland — and the course most of our students take. Below you will find everything you need before signing up: prices, requirements and the real benefits of professional training in Warsaw.

How much does a Category B course cost?

At OSK Lauto we offer three packages matched to your pace and needs:

  • Basic package — 5290 PLN: the full course of 30 theory hours and 30 driving hours, access to the e-learning platform, lessons in a Suzuki Swift with manual gearbox.
  • Accelerated package — 5990 PLN: the complete course in 3–4 weeks, a flexible lesson schedule including weekends, priority booking.
  • Intensive package — 7090 PLN: an individual course with a dedicated instructor, lessons on WORD Warsaw exam routes, extra parking and manoeuvre practice.
  • Car hire for the state exam — 290 PLN: take your WORD exam in the same car you trained in.
  • Refresher package — 1700 PLN for 10 hours: for drivers returning behind the wheel or preparing for the exam.

What are the requirements?

Before you can start a course in Poland, you need to meet a few legal conditions:

  • Age — you can start the course 3 months before turning 17; you can take the exam from 17 (with a guardian until 18) or fully independently from 18.
  • PKK number (Profil Kandydata na Kierowcę) — a free driver candidate profile issued by your district office; we help foreigners with the paperwork.
  • Medical certificate — a check-up confirming no contraindications to driving (about 200 PLN at a certified doctor).
  • ID document and a photo — a passport or residence card works for foreigners.

  • Experienced English-speaking instructors — the full course is available in English.
  • Lessons on official WORD Warsaw exam routes — you practise exactly where you will be tested.

How does the course work step by step?
