Golden Chance initiative by RTA allows drivers holding a driver's license from non-exempt countries to apply for the direct test to obtain a UAE Light Motor Vehicle driving license.

 

What is included in the Golden Chance direct test?

The golden Chance includes a knowledge test and only a one-time road test service.

 

Is the Golden Chance student required to take the theoretical or practical training in advance?

No, it is not required that the Golden Chance student has to take any prior “theoretical/practical” training.  The Student can optionally opt for prior practical training only if he/she wishes to for AED 210 + VAT per hour.

 

Does the golden Chance student need to attend theoretical training in the event of failing the knowledge test?

The student is not required to attend theoretical lectures in case he fails the knowledge test. And based on the trainee's request, retest fees will be applicable and a new test appointment will be booked.

 

What is the approved procedure in case the student fails the road test in the Golden Chance Service?

If the Golden Chance customer fails the road test, he will be transferred to the regular training and test requirements of the course that are convenient with his previous DL experience, with the exception of re-testing the knowledge again that he had previously passed.

 

In the event of a failure in the road test for the Golden Chance and the customer wishes not to continue in the same institute, does he have to pay fees?

In the event that the trainee who failed the road test at the Golden Chance Service wishes to choose another institute to start the regular training course in order to obtain a driving license, his file will be transferred to the other institute without any payment obligations.
