BUTS Training Centre is a broad professional education and training centre that also offers driving school courses. In the BUTS driving school section, the centre states that it offers B, BE and C category driver training, as well as a certificate for Code 95 training for professional drivers.
BUTS driving school training is suitable both for learners who want to obtain their first driving licence and for those who want to expand their professional qualification. Category B is intended for obtaining a passenger car driving licence, BE category for driving a passenger car with a trailer, while C category is intended for lorry drivers.
An important part of the BUTS offer is also Code 95 training. This is intended for drivers who work as paid drivers or carry out commercial transport and need to obtain or periodically renew their professional qualification.
For B category training, the BUTS website lists 55 academic hours of theory knowledge and practical driving training. C category theory training is listed as 50 academic hours, while Code 95 training is listed as 35 hours.
BUTS operates in many cities across Latvia. The branch section lists BUTS branches in Riga, Cēsis, Gulbene, Madona, Valmiera, Liepāja, Saldus, Talsi, Ventspils, Aizkraukle, Bauska, Jelgava, Jēkabpils, Daugavpils and Rēzekne. This may be convenient for learners who want to choose a training location closer to their home, workplace or daily route.
The BUTS website also includes an E-studies section. However, the driving school programme page does not clearly and reliably state which specific driving school categories are currently fully available remotely, so before registering learners are advised to clarify whether online or e-learning is available for the selected category and how in-person lessons are organised.
I did not find a reliable indication of specific driving school training languages in the driving school section of the website. Therefore, before registering, learners are advised to clarify separately which language is used for theory lessons, E-study materials and practical driving training in the selected branch and category.
BUTS Training Centre may be a suitable choice for learners looking for a driving school with a wide branch network in Latvia, B, BE and C category training, as well as Code 95 professional driver courses. Before signing an agreement, learners are advised to compare not only the price of the theory course, but also the total training costs, availability of driving lessons, instructor workload, training schedules, contract terms and CSDD exam results.
