Getting a Driver's license in Korea

강북삼성자동차운전전문학원-http://www.kbdrive.co.kr/

There are a lot of friends here asking me about LEARNING DRIVING IN KOREA. This is the school,강북삼성자동차운전전문학원, that my beautiful sister recommended me and also the place where I learn and got my driving license. (YEAH I GOT IT, look out. haahah joking. Dont worry, I dont have a car, not even a toy car)

How do I go there?

There is free shuttle bus with several pick up points, but please call the driver in advance.

On the first day, the staff was really nice explaining to me everything in detail and I decided to choose Type 1(Manual), although he said is more difficult.

Everything is held in the academy except for Theory Test(English is offered) and receiving the license. I did my test and license at Nowon, but there are several office. so do check out this website:https://www.koroad.or.kr/en_web/index.do

The lesson taught here will be all in Korean and fortunately, they gave me a CD that is in english for my theory FREE, he is really very kind.

I have to pay 320,000won by card and 37,000won in CASH, only cash as it is for insurance coverage and etc.

The whole program consists of r5 hours of class before taking my theory test, and there will be 3 lessons of driving before I take my practical test.

The whole process takes less than a month.

Regarding conversion of license, I first converted my license into an international license. following that, there is also several documentations needed together with a basic theory test in Singapore. I received my license by post in Jan 2015. However, I am not sure if the regulations is still the same.
