The 15 practical modules
Caroli’s training plan shows what you practise during category B driving lessons. Your instructor adapts the training to your experience and progress. Different students may need different amounts of time for each module.

How a driving lesson works
A lesson lasts 70 minutes. You and your instructor begin by reviewing your progress and setting goals for the lesson.
Your instructor demonstrates and explains the exercises. You practise until you can apply the skills independently. At the end, you review how it went, update your training record and discuss what to practise before the next lesson.
Prepare for your next lesson
Your workbook follows the same 15 modules. Read the next exercise and complete the tasks your instructor gives you. Use their advice when practising privately between lessons.
Combine practical training with Online driving theory. Being prepared makes it easier to understand and complete the exercises in the car. Follow your progress in your own training plan.
Caroli uses this plan to organise your training and track your progress step by step. Transportstyrelsen’s syllabus sets out the content and goals for category B. On Transportstyrelsen’s syllabus page you can find the official syllabus for cars and light goods vehicles.
