Driving School ALTERNATIV s.r.o.

I successfully graduated from driving school less than four years ago, since then I have driven about 250 thousand km. My instructor was Mr. Žofka, he was professional, helpful and patient. Due to work, I was very limited in time, he agreed with me on dates that suited me. Thanks.

I'll start with the biggest plus of this driving school, which is the receptionist. She will always give you advice, arrange things and cheer you up with a smile. And her willingness knows no bounds. Then of course the price. Of all the other driving schools in the area, it's the best price. Maybe even in all of Prague. And now the most important thing, the teacher. Of course, it will be subjective there depending on who you get. My teacher, although he seemed measured and strict at first, I soon understood his tactic "Hard on the training ground, easy on the battlefield." I was really scared of him the first few rides, but that subsided as I improved. He won't give you anything for free, but he won't yell at you unnecessarily, etc. He will calmly explain to you what you did wrong (and that it will happen often) and you can move on. And then, riding with the commissioner is a walk in the park for you. So for me, I recommend him to everyone.

It was a mistake to go solely by price. In the end, this aspect didn't work out either. There was an offer on the internet for a regular course for obtaining a type B driving license for CZK 19,000,--, but when I applied, I was told that the price had increased to CZK 24,000,--. Another negative was that during the course my vehicle was changed, and after some time I returned to the original vehicle; so the change happened twice in total. It didn't make any sense at all, it stressed me out unnecessarily, and the lecturer didn't even apologize for it or discuss it with me in advance. As for the lecturer himself, he wasn't aware of his position at all; He was rude, insulted me, didn't answer questions, didn't explain anything, and thought that if he said something, I had to understand it (e.g. he told me to "brake with the engine", expecting that as a person unfamiliar with car traffic, I would certainly understand what was going on - today I understand it, and only with the help of friends). In short, all mistakes irritated him (almost as if I was driving for the first time). I basically paid a month's salary to be insulted. Another fundamental problem was the punctuality of the instructor, who usually (and literally, we only started on time for the first two lessons) started about 10 to 15 minutes late, even though he was present at the driving school. I would have understood this if I had been informed about the delays in advance and the time I had been reduced by would have been replaced by an extension of the lesson. I recommend the company management to talk to the lecturers about the fact that although it is a "school", it is a private one, and those who teach are both students and, above all, paying clients. On the other hand, I must praise the speed with which I was given the opportunity to pass the exam. The system was clear - complete tests, self-study and you will be given an advantage. I took advantage of the situation, tried and I got the opportunity. The administrator was nice, but she could have told me in advance, before she recommended me to go to Vyšehrad to register drivers, that there is a waiting list there for about 6 hours and that it is better to reserve a place online. In short, I do not recommend it. When extending my driving license, I will definitely look elsewhere.

I have a very negative experience with this driving school. I called to find out details about how the lessons are conducted, but the lady on the phone was very arrogant and unable to provide me with the necessary information. That is why I decided to come in person. I arrived today at 2:30 PM, but the door was closed and there was no one at the office. I tried to call the number, but no one answered. I waited there for 20 minutes, and later another lady came, who waited with me and also tried in vain to call me. Such an attitude towards their potential clients is completely unacceptable. I definitely do not recommend this driving school to anyone.

I graduated from driving school three years ago and a year ago I extended my A2 driving license to A. The overall experience with this driving school was absolutely fantastic and I would like to share my positive impressions and help novice drivers make their choice. The first thing that caught my attention was the professional approach of the instructor. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name. The instructor was experienced and seemingly endlessly patient. He explained every step and detail with a clear emphasis on safety and always offered useful advice and tips. The training was well structured and was always supported by theoretical explanations. After graduating from driving school, I realized and was very happy that I graduated from driving school in a big car, specifically [Citroen Citroën C5 Break] I think they currently have newer models. The driving school also has modern equipment [I think even a simulator. (I didn't have one yet)] and a classroom. In addition, the driving school's arrangement was always accommodating. Overall, everything was organized very professionally, which made the whole process of graduating from driving school easier for me. I warmly and sincerely recommend this driving school to everyone who is looking for quality instruction and to learn to drive in a way that is fun. My experience was very positive, even after three years since my first visit to the driving school. I wanted to share my experience because I know how difficult it is these days to find a driving school where a student will not be afraid to go and end up getting fed up with driving.

Great receptionist, friendly approach, only during the summer holidays it took a while for me to be assigned an instructor.

Absolutely one of the best driving schools in Prague, if not the entire Czech Republic. Very friendly approach of instructors and owner, not only to professional drivers but also to beginners. Pleasant environment and very experienced instructors. True professionals. I highly recommend it, whether for beginners who want to become drivers or professionals who need to expand or just train.

I took the lessons under the guidance of Mr. Čihák, for me a great approach, especially in terms of friendly and sympathetic behavior. I also really appreciate the time flexibility - regularly every week of driving. Everything I asked was explained to me... a great experience, I can only recommend it and a big thank you to Mr. Čihák! I passed the exams the first time, I believe you will too!

Truly the best driving school. I fully agree with the last review, I couldn't have said it better myself. Friendly, considerate, professional and human approach of all employees 🙌🏽👍🏽 I really learned a lot and fulfilled my dream and I managed it, a big thank you goes to Mr. Žofek, who taught me everything 🙏🏽 I recommend it to everyone ten 🍀🍀🍀😊

I did my driving test under Mr. Marhoun, great work and great attitude for me. We could always agree on everything and there was no problem, the strongest point was probably that Mr. Marhoun has a great attitude towards students and can teach and explain everything well. For me, 100% satisfaction and I would definitely recommend!
