RZ Group Driving School

I took the training at this driving school in the spring of this year. I signed up for the Čásenský driving school, which you will later find out is under the RZ Group company. The instructor himself seemed easy-going at first. However, he gradually became very unpleasant, in certain situations he would start shouting and start discussing political issues with you every now and then, which he saw on billboards and swearing at Ukrainians, instead of fully focusing on your driving. I honestly had to learn most of the things by self-studying from the textbook and using instructional videos. However, the worst part comes with the test itself. Most likely, your instructor will not drive with you, but the owner of the RZ Group himself. I drove with him on both attempts and had never seen him in my life before. They also gave me a worse car, which I was not used to at all, and which, moreover, did not work well with the mirror rotation. In addition, before the practical exam, the owner of the driving school made fun of some students, teased them about their facial expressions, constantly made some insinuations, etc. Absolutely unacceptable client attitude. You are treated more like a child than a client who has paid a lot of money for training. After my mistake during the second attempt, because of which I did not complete the attempt successfully, he started shouting at me. People like that should not teach in a driving school and ideally should get some basic pedagogical education. They probably do not realize that people are just learning, and that stress plays a big role in this. Or maybe they realize it all too well and abuse it. The driving school is tempting with its cheap price, but they will then collect the money on expensive exams. The commissioners from the city office themselves were also a disaster. Both of them were talking on their own phones with friends before the drive (practical test), when one of them was able to solve some private matter in the car for maybe 10 minutes. A ruthless and unprofessional approach that only contributes to the students feeling even more stressed and subsequently failing the tests and having to repeat them. And these are not isolated cases. I chose to switch to another driving school and am currently taking my third and final attempt. The summary is that this is a cheaper driving school, but everything else is absolutely appalling. The tests are expensive, they don't teach you much and they treat you disrespectfully and try to stress you out as much as possible at all costs. If I could give 0 stars, I would. The only nice person is the lady in the office, who will calmly solve bureaucratic issues with you. I recommend that you read reviews and research what clients say about a driving school before joining it.

I started my driving lessons here in December 2023. I drove with Mr. Čásenský. There was basically no preparation before my first drive, I just got behind the wheel and drove. (in the dark and in the rain) At first, the instructor was relatively calm, but as the drives went on, the atmosphere in the car deteriorated. I cried several times behind the wheel when the instructor was able to argue with me that he was telling me the information, although there was not a single mention of it and in general he was more nervous and unpleasant with each subsequent drive. (There was also a conflict about politics when he told me that I was choosing street rape and similar knowledge as my choice in the Euro elections.) After many conditioning drives and two failed attempts at the tests, which I drove in a completely different (worse) car and with a completely different instructor, or rather owner, I decided to try another instructor, Mr. Šmejcký. The rides were a little better with him, but comments like "well, let it die down, I have enough time, I told you how to do it, don't you want to? don't you want to" when I couldn't start at a crossroads on a hill and there was a line of cars behind me, didn't pass me by anyway. Arranging with their phone line is a chapter in itself, basically you can't call them, arranging rides was labor.. After a few of these rides and with the last remaining attempt, I made the only right decision about this driving school: to pick up my transfer papers. Today I got my driver's license at another driving school and saved myself xy thousand for another course and my nervous system.

This driving school is a perfect example of when they only care about money. Don't expect much behavior, know-how and a pro-client approach here.... and you won't learn much either. They lure you with the low price of the course, but in the end you will be glad you did it. No wonder clients make their last attempts somewhere else. I don't appreciate it!!
