Preparing for Code 95 in Poland:

How much money should you bring for the training period?

Home / Articles / Preparing for Code 95 in Poland

Tuition fees are one of the biggest expenses on the way to obtaining the coveted Code 95 card. In this article, we will analyze what else you will have to spend money on, in addition to the course fee. This information is especially relevant for those who choose the long course.

What is already included in the price

First, let’s figure out what is included in the course developed by the “Mark’s Driving School”

Firstly, the training itself, namely theoretical and practical training. All training is conducted in Russian, but the exam can be taken in Russian/Polish/English.

Secondly, a medical examination and a psychological test. It is very convenient that you undergo additional examinations in the same place where you register and attend classes.

Thirdly, obtaining documents from the office, as well as sending you the finished card to the address you specified.

Important! You pay for the exam at WORD separately – 50 PLN.

Now about the expenses

1. Transportation costs.
Do not forget to take into account transportation costs, especially if you need to get to the driving school from another country.

Also, consider other possible expenses, such as insurance, opening a work visa (applies to those who do not have permits to stay in Poland), administrative fees, etc.

2. Accommodation and meals.
Here, as you understand, everything is individual. You can choose temporary housing yourself, or choose from the options offered by our managers. We cooperate with hostels, the cost of living in which is from 700 PLN for 30 days or from 250 PLN for 7 days.

What about food? We conducted a survey among our graduates and found out that the average amount per week for products is 150-200 PLN.

3. Spare financial reserve.
It is important to have a spare financial reserve in case of unexpected circumstances. This may include additional driving lessons, retaking the exam, or other unforeseen expenses.

It is worth noting that 95% of our driving school students pass the exams the first time!

What do students say?

If you tighten your belt, choose products on sale at Biedronka, and spend your free time exclusively studying theory and watching videos on the subject. Don’t drink or smoke, and if you work hard on occasion, you can invest even 1000€ (4500-5000zl). But if 🥤🍻🥂🍾🚬🎉😂💃🥳🍸🥩🍔. … then even 2000€ may not be enough.

Including training in Belarus for category CE, it cost me about $2000. I borrowed money from a friend (he’s a truck driver) for the first term and paid him back with the first salary.

Don’t be lazy and go work in a taxi; during my studies, I almost made back all the money I spent on the long course, chip card, accommodation, and food, otherwise it would have cost about 2000€. I didn’t work 15 hours a day; I drove after studying when I felt like it 😉

Taking into account the above factors, we recommend taking a little more money with you than it seems at first glance. This will ensure your comfort and confidence that you can focus on your studies without worrying about financial issues.
