  1. 8 hours with a driving school
  2. Lessons with a 'private' teacher

No minimum number of months of driving experience specified (so you can have 8 hours with the driving school and go straight to the pratical exam). People who obtained their driver's license before 1985 can drive a motorcycle without any examinations or lessons!

So all in all not what you call a high-quality education.
