If you have an english-speaking teacher, he will translate to you the guidelines but if not, don’t be afraid, because they are not more than 12 orders as for example: Go straight, turn right or park. Practical Exam: Unfortunately DGT examiners only speak Spanish so you must perform your practical exam receiving all the guidelines in Spanish. All other driving permits, such as the Class A (motorcycles) or Class C (trucks) must be done in Spanish. Theoretical Exam: The DGT (official body) only allows you to take the driving exam for the Class B (cars) license in English. Which class of driving licences can be taken in English?

It is not mandatory to exchange your original license until it expires and you can keep using it until this date.
