Erikssons trafikskola

What Erikssons trafikskola does

Erikssons trafikskola (legal entity: Erikssons trafikskola i Malmö AB) is a privately held Swedish driving school founded in 1927 and headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. It operates at least seven offices across four cities in Skåne county (Nobeltorget, Fersens väg, Limhamn, and Scheelegatan in Malmö, plus Lund, Kävlinge, and Trelleborg) and is described as one of Sweden's oldest and largest traffic schools. The company delivers the full Swedish licensing spectrum — moped (AM, Klass I/II), motorcycle (A, A1, A2), passenger car (B manual and automatic), trailer extensions (BE, B96), medium-heavy and heavy trucks (C1/C1E, C/CE), buses (D/DE), and taxi — alongside mandatory risk education (Risk 1/Risk 2), handledarutbildning (supervisor training), and specialty courses in ambulance driver recertification and ecodriving. It also runs the YKB (Yrkeskompetensbevis) professional competence certification program in 140h, 280h, and 35h refresher formats.

The business is built on a direct-to-consumer model with a hybrid consumer-and-institutional revenue mix. Pricing is published transparently by package and license category, with packages of 5 to 30 lessons (e.g., B Complete at ~21,199 SEK in Lund; YKB 140h at 21,990 SEK) plus theory access and risk courses; payment is accepted via cash, card, Swish, e-commerce, and interest-free installments through Wasa Kredit. Student lifecycle is managed through the third-party TABS Elev platform (lesson booking, teacher comments, online theory tests, progress tracking) and supplemented by the Körkortsboken theory portal. STR (Svenska Trafikskolors Riksförbund) membership provides industry quality certification, and the Bulltoftabanan driving range is used for moped and motorcycle risk training. The company is family-owned with no disclosed external investors or parent entity, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
