Intensive training: your bus licence in 4 weeks

Four full-time weeks, then you take the exam for your category D bus licence, the first step towards a job as a bus driver. In EUROBUS intensive training, you learn in a group of no more than four participants, and the flat-rate price is CHF 12,500.

The intensive training is full-time driver training from category B to category D. The EUROBUS Training and Further Education Centre runs it in Arbon, Bassersdorf, Biel/Bienne and Ruswil. After just four weeks, you take the category D exam. EUROBUS accepts no more than four people per course, and registrations are dealt with in the order they are received.

Intensive training dates

You can find out about available training dates from the Training and Further Education Centre on +41 44 444 16 04 or at weiterbildung@eurobus.ch. In Bassersdorf, EUROBUS arranges the dates with you once you have passed the theory test. In Biel/Bienne, the dates are arranged individually, and the training takes place there every month.

Registration and payment

First, request a quote: via the quote request form for category D/D1 driver training or by email to weiterbildung@eurobus.ch. The definitive registration follows, depending on available training places, and becomes binding only once EUROBUS has confirmed it.

The full course fees must be paid no later than two weeks before the training starts. Instalment payments are not possible, and EUROBUS does not co-finance the intensive training. If you would like to drive as a part-time bus driver alongside your studies, the offer for students includes advance funding of 50 per cent of the costs.

Your next step: register for the free information evening or request your quote.
