BRAC Driving School is an initiative of the BRAC Road Safety Programme, established in 2012 to support the government’s efforts to improve road safety and promote responsible driving practices. To address the rising number of road fatalities in the country and the shortage of skilled professional drivers and instructors, 12 driving trainers were trained by Hubert Ebner (India) Pvt Ltd, an Indo-Austrian road safety organisation, who are now actively engaged in training professional drivers.
The school addresses the shortage of skilled drivers and instructors by providing professional driver training through our ISO-certified driving school. In addition to professional driver training, BRAC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) to strengthen driver testing and licensing services and contribute to improving driver competency and road safety.
Today, BRAC Driving School operates 13 driving schools nationwide with state-of-the-art facilities and has a team of 35 highly skilled driving instructors, including 6 female instructors, all holding instructor licences from the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA).
Over the years, BRAC Driving School has built a strong pool of trained professionals in the driving sector, with more than 26,000 trainees receiving Basic and Defensive Driving Training, 4558 women trained as skilled drivers and 409 trained instructors.
Among the driving training courses offered, the school offers “Surakkha,” a three-day road safety and defensive driving course designed to improve driving behaviour and reduce crash risks.
It also promotes empowerment of women through “Four Wheels to Freedom,” a flagship initiative of BRAC’s Road Safety Programme that develops professional driving skills and career opportunities for women from disadvantaged backgrounds. Many graduates of this flagship initiative for training women drivers are now employed in various organisations, contributing to safer and more inclusive roads.
