"A heartfelt thank you to Fahrschule Kotti and especially to my trainer, Serkhan. I am from India and I transferred my driving license to German Class B. The entire process was very well supported, and everything was clearly explained in English, which helped me a lot. The instructor was very patient, supportive, and encouraging throughout the training. The car was also in very good condition, and the scheduling was flexible and well managed. Overall, the support and guidance were excellent. Highly recommended for international drivers. Thank you so much for the great support🥰"

"Did my driving lessons here in english. I feel like Kotti put such standard to their curriculum that surpass way higher than what is required to pass the actual TüV exam. I just did my exam today and happily passed on the first try 😀"

"I had a very comfortable learning journey with Fahrschule Kotti, specifically with my instructor, Serkan. I never had driving license in my home country, it was my first time. With the training I received, I passed both my theoretical and practical exams in the first try. Serkan Hoca is an expert in observing what any student needs. He was patient and calm, and the environment he prepared made me feel secure, which allowed me to just relax and to focus on learning itself. After lectures, when we were walking back to the school, Serkan summarized the lecture, which also helped me a great deal, and allowed me to understand better. I passed the exam in my FIRST try, and when we were leaving the exam place, he was still keen on telling me what I could have done better, and showed me a video of what i did not-so-good (via car cameras), this is the prestige and devotion level this instructor have! Moreover, he speaks Turkish, English, and German very fluently; people from different languages can get along well. Especially Berliners who speak English can consider. Also, all the people running the fahrschule are really kind, from other instructors to Nese Hanim, who are organizing the timetables and appointments. From the very first day, all my questions were answered, all the personnel were very attentive, and I always felt welcome whenever I visited this school, for whatever reason. I was given multiple lectures per week, which I requested, and the exam date was arranged really easily. In around 4 months time, I started receiving my lessons and entered the exam! To summarize, I can only recommend this driving school. From organization (Nese Hanim) to execution (big praise to Serkan Hoca), it was a great experience."

"I chose this driving school because they have English-speaking instructors and are located close to my home. I had a great experience and can only recommend it. Passed the driving test at first try, and to a large extent it was thanks to the training that I was provided. My driving instructor Serkan has been very professional and patient, explained everything in detail and took time to answer all of my questions. He also speaks great English. The personnel at the office has also been very supportive and responsive. One thing to note for those who exchange their foreign driving license (Umschreibung). There is no fixed number of driving lessons that you are required to take at the school - but that doesn’t mean you’re going to have fewer lessons. In my case, I have been driving with my instructor until he decided I’m fit for the exam (that’s pretty standard). Then, the school requested an exam appointment for me, and while waiting for it, we continued with driving lessons (roughly once every two weeks, in my case). When the appointment was fixed, the school signed me up for some additional lessons to drive in the location where the exam would take place. This isn’t a bad thing - German driving test isn’t easy, so I found it beneficial to have a lot of driving practice to gain more confidence. But in general, I wish that school was more transparent about this, so that I knew what to expect. Otherwise, I’m very happy with the school and it’s a total recommendation."

"Just got my license today, and I’ve got to give a huge shoutout to my driving instructor, Ismail Akmaz! The whole process was super smooth, all thanks to him. Ismail is not only a super chill, positive, and patient teacher, but he also teaches in both English and German, which made everything way easier. He always had my back with helpful tips and just the right amount of encouragement. Honestly, couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. If you’re looking to get your license, Ismail’s your guy!"

"I recently finished my driving lessons and passed my exam 🥳🥳 and had a pretty good experience overall. Here’s a quick rundown: Pros: - Knowledgeable teachers who know their stuff and will teach you everything you need to know. - Most of the staff speaks English, which makes things a lot easier. - The boss, Hamza, is amazing. I had my practical exam with him, and he helped calm my nerves, which was a big help in passing the test. - If you are paired with the right teacher, you will have an amazing time learning, I unfortunately only had one class(had multiple classes with other teacher) with Umut (shoutout to him!) and he was super calm and friendly and taught me really well. Cons: - Some teachers can get annoyed pretty quickly. My main teacher(NOT Umut) was a little short tempered and would get annoyed really easily (I would also make silly mistakes 😅 but hey, I am anxious and nervous) - You have to stay on top of scheduling your exam. They seem super busy, and I had to call multiple times to get my exam date sorted, which ended up being just in the nick of time. All in all, I’d definitely recommend Fahrschule Kotti. Just be ready to be proactive about scheduling and be patient with some of the instructors."

"I'm very happy that I chose Fahrschule Kotti to prepare for my practical exam. The personel there is very friendly and willing to assist with any kind of enquiries. My driving instructor Umut was very clear with his explanations and very calm all the way. Our lessons were in English, for those who look for English speaking instructors, every teacher at this school speaks perfect English. After successful practical exam, the staff helped with the paper work needed for actually getting the license. Definitely recommend Fahrschule Kotti."

"Five stars are not enough! While exchanging our Turkish driver's licenses, both my spouse and I opted for Kotti Fahrschule. Ismail, our instructor, is incredibly patient and skilled. With him, I have learned all traffic regulations and driving techniques during our lessons. I was well-prepared during the period leading up to the exam and passed it today. I highly recommend this course to everyone due to its exceptional attention and dedication to the work they are doing."

"I would recommend this Fahrschule. I trained with Umut, who speaks good English and is a very skillful instructor. Despite failing for the 2 times, he helped to understand my mistake and I could finally pass in my 3rd attempt. I would rate 3 stars to Dekra because they don't give exams date very frequently and we have to wait!"

"Thrilled to have recently passed my driving practicals at Fahrschule Kotti—it was a fantastic 2024 New Year present for me! 😄 Serkan, my instructor, was exceptional—good in English, very friendly, and patient. As someone from India, adapting to the German driving style was initially challenging, but thanks to my great instructor, I gained confidence and excelled in my exam. Serkan even quickly found exam dates for me. Highly recommend this driving school for its excellent instruction, friendly atmosphere, and smooth administrative process. Thanks, Fahrschule Kotti!"
