Takeaways

• 😀 You have one year to obtain your CNH (Brazilian driver's license). If you don't complete the process in that time, you'll have to start over.
• 😀 The autoescola (driving school) does not fail students. Any failure occurs during the official exams (theory or practical), not because of the instructor.
• 😀 The CFC (driving training center) doesn't fail students. You only need to attend classes and fulfill the required hours, with no risk of failing during the internal tests.
• 😀 You can take up to three practical lessons per day, but it’s recommended to take two for a better learning experience without exhaustion.
• 😀 You can cancel a practical lesson with at least 24 hours' notice. If you don't, you may lose that lesson or have to reschedule.
• 😀 System issues at the Detran can cause delays, and you may lose a practical lesson if the system isn’t working properly when you arrive.
• 😀 Make sure to wear the right clothes for practical lessons. Shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, and other inappropriate footwear are not allowed.
• 😀 Driving schools do not offer home pick-up or drop-off services. The instructor's schedule is tight, and there’s no time for such arrangements.
• 😀 Always track your progress through the Detran website to see how many classes you've completed and how many hours remain before your final exam.
• 😀 You are not required to take a specific number of practical lessons (e.g., 20 lessons). You can take as many as you need until you feel ready for the practical test.
