Not every Warsaw driving school that advertises English actually teaches in English. Here is a practical checklist for choosing a school when you do not speak Polish.
Searching for a driving school near me in Warsaw usually returns dozens of schools — but only a handful genuinely run courses in English. Before you pay, check five things.
1. Instructors who actually teach in English
Ask whether the instructor conducts whole lessons in English — not just basic commands. A good school will name the instructor and let you talk to them before the first lesson. At OSK Lauto, English-language lessons are a standard part of our offer, not an exception.
2. Theory materials and the exam language
The Polish theory exam is available in English — but you need English study materials to prepare. Check whether the school provides an English-language theory course or recommends proven apps with the official question translations.
3. Manual and automatic cars
If you plan to drive an automatic or an electric car, an automatic course is faster and calmer. Remember that an automatic exam limits the licence to automatics (code 78). A serious school offers both options and explains the difference before you choose.
4. Real support with Polish paperwork
PKK registration, district offices, info-car.pl bookings — all of it is in Polish. Choose a school that walks you through each step: we help our English-speaking students with the PKK application, exam booking and the sworn interpreter when needed.
5. Transparent prices
