A sixth of undergraduates in Beijing this year have registered at driving schools. The students mostly from majors such as business management or international trade will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so.

Training costs have dropped to 2 600 yuan for students according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is not really low but students will accept it seeing it as an investment in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a driver’s license has become another factor.

“In the job market owning a driver’s license sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competitiveness for a good position ” says Zhou Yang an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law.

Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years and it is difficult to get a license after graduation because of the pressures on working people’s time. “Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time plenty of opportunities to learn ” Zhou says.

Xu Jian an official at the driving school said undergraduates were very capable and serious and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn. In this driving school middle-aged people young women and college students are the main learners.

To get a driver’s license a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours’ practice before the final road test.
