2. People from Kansai go here!
So which prefectures do people from the Kansai region often go to? Actually, I often go to the Chugoku region. It may be rude to say the Chugoku region, but I think some people may have a dull impression of it. However, in the driving school industry, schools with top-class achievements are gathered!
3.Big presence in the Chugoku region
Many driving schools in the Chugoku region have introduced training camps. Among them, Tottori, Okayama, and Shimane have many competitors for Driving Camp, and there is fierce competition in terms of fees, services, etc.
Just an example
- A driving school that issues its own currency that is circulated only within the driving school.
- Driving schools that pay for baggage shipping and enroll empty-handed
- There is a hot spring in the dormitory, and there is a hot spring every day during the training camp period.
- Driving school with foreign instructors
- Driving schools that offer free amenities, etc.
- Driving schools where you can also obtain a drone license qualification at the same time during the training camp period, etc.
It has a good reputation for its various unique services, and its training fees are low. There are many schools with such a track record that we can recommend them with confidence. Please try broadening your horizons!
[2] Current state of commuting fees and acquisition period in Osaka Prefecture!
1. So expensive! School fees in Osaka Prefecture
In fact, the tuition fee in Osaka Prefecture is one of the highest in the whole country. Compared to the training camp fee in the Chugoku region, Regular Automatic, the average school lesson fee for commuting in Osaka Prefecture is 288,566 yen (Hachinohe Nori Driving School, Hanwaho Driving School, Sekime Driving School, Osaka Minato Driving School), while the Regular Automatic lesson fee in Driving Camp in the Chugoku region is It is 286,480 yen (spring vacation), 266,480 yen (summer vacation), and 226,875 yen (winter vacation). (Binan Driving School, Tottori Kurayoshi Driving School, Masuda Driving School, Shoei Driving School average)
2. So different! Period for obtaining Driving Camp and commuting license
For Driving Camp, the training will proceed according to the schedule determined by the driving school in advance, such as from the date of enrollment to the scheduled graduation date, but for commuting, students will make reservations for each training session according to their own convenience. However, the reality is that it is difficult to make reservations for such lessons, and it is difficult to determine the expected graduation date. The reason for this is that in January, February, March, August, and September, driving schools are busy with high school and university students seeking licenses, making it difficult to make reservations. In addition, reservations are often crowded on Saturdays and Sundays. Also, because schools have holidays such as regular holidays, Obon holidays, and year-end and New Year holidays, it takes about 1 to 2 months for those who are unable to do so, and 3 to 5 months for most people.
3. My experience
I myself started going to a driving school as soon as I graduated from high school, but as soon as I entered university, I was forced to devote myself to clubs and part-time jobs, so I started going to the driving school less and less often. In the end, it took me the full 9 months of training to get my license. In comparison, you won't be unable to make a reservation for training at a training camp, so you can get your license in about 14 days on average if you Regular Automatic! This acquisition period is definitely used for training camp.
So, from here
