The driving course consists of theoretical and practical driving lessons. It is built up in modules. The learner can only move on to the next module once the goal for the module has been met. The lessons must be given by a driving instructor who is approved for the category the learner is being taught.

For category B there are 5 modules. There must be at least 30 theory lessons and at least 24 practical lessons of at least 45 minutes each. The course must span at least 14 days of instruction.

Driving tests are held by the Danish Road Safety and Transport Agency (Færdselsstyrelsen). A driving test consists of a theory test and a practical test. The practical test must be passed within 18 months after the theory test has been passed. If a first-time applicant for a category B driving licence does not pass the practical test, a new practical test cannot be taken until seven days have passed since the most recent practical test.
