B2 training costs range from 21.5 million VND to 28.5 million VND, B1 training costs range from 12 million VND to 17 million VND. (This is only a reference cost, based on the general market level).

3.3. Health conditions and personal abilities

If your health conditions prevent you from using a car for business activities, you are not confident in your ability to pass difficult exercises in studying and taking the B2 license exam, or you are not confident in your ability to control a car when there is too much stress. If there are many people on the bus, women should only choose to study for the B1 license to make it easier and ensure safety for both themselves and passengers.

If you are in good health, can withstand pressure and need a driver's license to meet your current job or business needs, studying for a B2 license is a must.
