Theory plan

Which topic
is on when.

The plan gives you the topic for every class. Start whenever you like — the 14 topics run in a circle, so there is nothing you can miss for good.

The theory plan

Each class covers exactly one topic. This is which — week by week, with public holidays and cancellations.

Week 323 Aug – 9 Aug

School holidays: Summer holidays

  • Mon 3 Aug

    • 18:30 – 20:00

      Topic 2: The human risk factor

  • Wed 5 Aug

    Next up
    • 18:30 – 20:00

      Topic 3: The legal framework

  • Thu 6 Aug

    • 18:30 – 20:00

      Topic 4: The road system & level crossings

  • Sat 8 Aug

    • 9:30 – 11:00

      Topic 5: Basic rule, priority & traffic control

    • 11:00 – 12:30

      Topic 6: Traffic signs & road installations

If a class is cancelled the topics move back rather than being skipped, so nothing is lost. Public holidays are already accounted for.

Our class times

    Two classes back to back — you can sit both.

Classes run as normal through the school holidays. We are closed on public holidays, and those are already in the plan.

How the topics come round

After topic 14 it starts again at topic 1. If a class is cancelled everything moves back by one — nothing is skipped.

After a particular topic?

Find it in the plan above and come that evening. Every topic comes round again every two to three weeks.

Compulsory topics 13 and 14

You have to have attended these two at least once before you can be entered for the theory test. We keep an eye out so you catch them.

Common questions

Do I have to attend all 14 topics?

For Class B, twelve core topics plus the two additional topics 13 and 14 are required. You can repeat any topic as often as you like — it costs nothing extra.

Can I join in the middle of the cycle?

Yes. The topics run in a circle, so you start at the next class and catch the earlier ones on the next time round.

What if I miss a class?

Nothing happens. The topic comes round again. Just let us know if you will be away for a while so we can plan when to enter you for the test.

How reliable is the plan?

Public holidays are fixed and already accounted for. If something is cancelled at short notice we enter it here, and the topics behind it move back automatically.

Do I have to book a place in a theory class?

No. Just turn up. If it is your first time, say hello at the office on your way in.
