AL QASSIM — A new batch of 500 women received driving licenses from Al-Qassim after passing training at the driving school. They underwent 11,500 hours of training, including 2,900 theoretical hours, 7,000 hours of practice and 600 hours in simulators.

The trainee will be enrolled in the program for 6 hours on 3 days of training, after which the license can be obtained. The non-trainee will join the program for 30 hours in 12 training days to obtain the license.

The driving school’s Executive Director Dr. Majid Al-Enezi said that they are working to increase the capacity and increase the number of trainees in the next phase.

"We have 20 Saudi trainers enrolled in the school recently and currently are in the process of training and qualifying a new batch of trainers," he said.

He added, "The figures included in the report are promising, as 90% of the trainees successfully completed the tests at the first time after undergoing training.”

"This indicates the efficiency of those who train them, pointing out that the current capacity of the school increased by almost 50%, with a new batch of more than 500 trainees expected to receive driving licenses in the next two months, “ he said.
