Practical training on category C trucks takes place exclusively in one of the cities: Kyiv, Ternopil, Kremenets in the Ternopil region. With this in mind, you need to take into account the need to come from your city/village to study in one of these cities for the entire period of practical training. The course organizers provide future truck drivers with free hotel accommodation (if necessary), three meals a day and transfers to the locations provided by the training program.
From April 2025 to September 2025, there is an opportunity to stay in one of the training camps with a child/children aged 6 to 12 years. While you are studying, the child stays with peers in the camp, where the student spends leisure time and communicates with peers.

No. The condition of having a B category and at least three years of driving experience is mandatory. According to the current legislation, it is possible to open a category C, provided that the candidate already has experience driving a passenger car and knows the principles of driving different types of vehicles.
Various external factors can affect the success of the exam. With this in mind, we provide two attempts to pass the exam. You will have one more chance. And even if you fail again, you will be able to try to achieve your goal a little later, outside of our program. In our experience, it is your determination that matters. Overall, our students have a 96 percent exam pass rate. We believe in you!
The Reskilling Ukraine project does not provide employment for graduates of retraining programs, but we make a lot of efforts to increase the chances of employment for our graduates. In particular, we introduce our participants to various employers who are looking for female drivers for their teams, creating a field for acquaintance and dialogue between them. This makes it easier to find a job after obtaining a category C driver's license. In addition, we organize excursions to enterprises and motor carrier companies so that participants can better understand the specifics of working as a driver. In addition, our graduates receive a weekly newsletter of current vacancies from our employer partners to ensure that they have access to all the most relevant opportunities on the labor market.
The training program for obtaining the right to drive a passenger bus is almost the same as for driving a car. However, the practical part of the course is taken on a bus, which requires additional skills and experience. All of this is included in the program of our free Passenger Bus Driver training course.
No. There is no such opportunity today. Participation in the program involves practical training only in Kyiv, Ternopil, and Kremenets, Ternopil region. You must be prepared to travel to one of these cities for the practical part of the program. If you are from another region of Ukraine, we will provide you with hotel accommodation and three meals a day for the duration of your studies.
No. The training program does not provide for internships with an existing truck driving license. The retraining program is designed and implemented for those who do not yet have a driver's license of the above category.
No. The distribution by city takes into account the availability of places for practical training in each of the cities. However, we listen to students and take into account their place of residence. Therefore, we will most likely find the best option for the internship.
The program requires full engagement during the on-site training module, as well as at least 50 percent engagement during the internship and certification preparation. Therefore, we recommend that you plan this time in advance to ensure successful completion of the course.
