Training Center and Driving School Orange GmbH

"-Very Disappointing Experience- This was one of the most unprofessional driving schools I have ever dealt with. I was in the process of converting my foreign driver’s license (Umschreiben). I had already passed the theory exam, and I still had 5 months left to pass the driving exam. I clearly explained this both to the secretary and to my driving instructor, Ali Ekber. Because I already had a Turkish driver’s license and was in the Umschreiben process, I was not required to take a fixed number of driving lessons. Despite explaining this many times, the secretary constantly tried to sell me more lessons instead of arranging an exam date. Every time I asked for an exam appointment, she told me: “You must take more lessons. We give priority to students who buy more lessons.” They did not seriously try to give me an exam date until only two weeks before my document expired. On the exam day, I was sick with a fever but still went because if the document expires, you have to start the whole process again from zero. Unfortunately, because of my illness, I forgot my ID at home and was not allowed to take the exam. TÜV refunded the exam fee because I had a doctor’s report, but the school could not give me another exam date before my document expired. In the end, they sold me almost 1000€ worth of driving lessons, but failed to help me with the most important thing: getting an exam date. Because of their negligence, I had to go back to the government office, get new papers, and retake the theory exam. This situation happened because of the secretary’s irresponsibility and the careless attitude of the instructor Ali Ekber. He is not an exceptional instructor, and it is obvious that many of the positive reviews about him were personally requested. I do not recommend this driving school to anyone going through the Umschreiben process."

"Whoever is reading this, please do not take admission in this school if you want to save your time, money, and respect. If you want to waste your time and money, then this might be the right place. Here are the issues I faced: 1) The staff never clearly guided me on how to proceed and were often rude. 2) When I first joined, they told me to start practical classes without informing me that I needed to complete my theory first. 3) They registered me for around eight classes, which I took. Later, I realized this was unnecessary and a waste of time and money. When I paused lessons until passing my theory, they were unhelpful. 4) After passing my theory, my original instructor had left, and I was assigned a new instructor who spoke very little English. 5) That instructor was good and approved me for the exam, but the school delayed giving me an exam date for nine months. Every time I visited, they said I was on the “priority list,” and whenever I came in person, the staff avoided me and made rude faces. 6) Only after threatening to file a complaint did they provide an exam date within two weeks. 7) My exam was first scheduled at Aldershof, but after taking four classes there, they changed the center to Tempelhof without clear communication, and I failed. 8) After more delays, I eventually got a second exam date three months later, just six days before my theory was set to expire, which I failed due to my own mistake. 9) Now, my theory exam has expired, entirely because of their delays and poor organization. In my experience, this driving school is poorly managed, disorganized, and unhelpful. I strongly recommend looking for another school if you value your time and money."

"Bekir is the worst teacher when it comes to teaching in English. He was part of Orange Fahrschule before, he was my instructor and trust me he was all shouty and was on the phone most of the time. He didnt have any regards for the money we spend to get the license. he was not serious and not respectful. He just wanted me to take too many lessons thats all. and now with Fahrschule Limo he is continue to do bad. i changed my school and in 1st attempt i got it without any crazy number of lessons."

"This School is a total ripoff and not recommended for English speaking people at all, they charge you in start a package making it seems like you will save money but you end up paying so much more than that !!! The teachers are highly incapable to prepare you for test and they keep changing your teachers so you don’t build a good connection with one to learn better at the end … they make you wait a lot … the staff is highly rude and not transparent at all … and the boss has no check and balance to see this…. They have made me suffer so much loss in money due to their in capability to teach well no transparency in registeration and classes schedule … I would really donot recommend this school to any one … as they are highly unfair and they sense that you are not that sharp so they rip you off bad !!!! I wasted my time energy and money on this horrible as hell school in berlin … and by the way I was converting my license it was not like I was doing from scratch they made so many classes and gave me teachers who were using the cellphone in class instead of teaching and preparing one for exam !!! Rude administration!!!!!!"

"If you are changing your driver's license, Mr. Aliakbar, speaking English, Turkey, and German, is the best teacher in this driving school. I could pass the practical exam with only 6 sessions. He will teach you crucial and necessary points that might come in the final exam."

"Passed my Driving test week ago and had the best experience, due to my tight work schedule, she made a time so flexible for me, All credits goes to Funda best teacher and sister , could go more strict on you if you make mistakes but i believe if teacher more strict on you, you just learn more better and Ofcoourse thats saves your money and time.Highly recommended only Funda. plus point that she speaks english as well. 🫰🏻🤩"

"A good driving school indeed. I switched my driving school as I wasn't getting test appointment in previous school. They managed to get me an appointment in 2 months which was fairly fast. The driving teachers were really good (Mr. Paulo, do not teach anymore and Mr. Husko). They explained really well the different situations and rules. The staff was also nice. My PoC was Susan as she speaks English. I passed my test in 1st attempt."
