MPU because of alcohol
Drink driving, a high blood alcohol level or a repeat offence: the most common MPU reason. We show you the way back.
✳ Often possible without abstinenceGet adviceIndividual MPU preparation in 1:1 sessions with experienced traffic psychologists and a professional learning platform. More than 30.000 people have passed their MPU with ON-MPU. No coaches. No group course. No hidden costs. We get you back behind the wheel.
Everyone comes to us with a different question. Pick what applies to you and we'll take it from there.
Take a breath first. We explain in plain words what the MPU (the German medical-psychological assessment for getting your licence back) actually is, how it differs from the preparation, and what your first step is now.
First things firstYou know the MPU is coming, but not how it works. We show you the whole path, what it costs and which deadlines really matter. No jargon.
How it worksA failed attempt is not a verdict. More than half of all people fail without proper preparation. With the right strategy and a real psychologist, the second attempt works out.
Find a new strategyThe MPU, Germany's medical-psychological assessment, decides whether you are fit to drive after your licence was withdrawn. Without solid preparation most people fail. With the right MPU preparation it becomes plannable.
The so-called "idiot test" is a psychological interview plus medical checks. The assessor wants to see that you have genuinely worked through your reason, whether alcohol, drugs, points or a criminal offence, and that you have changed your behaviour for good.
This is exactly where we come in. In 1:1 sessions with a qualified traffic psychologist you build an honest strategy for your interview that you can back up. Not a memorised course, but real reflection: the difference that decides whether you pass.
More than 25 former clients talk openly about losing their licence and how the MPU with ON-MPU became the turning point. Pick a reason to see only the stories that fit your case.
Jan kam zu ON-MPU, nachdem ihm die Behörde den Führerschein bereits entzogen hatte. Nach detaillierter Aufarbeitung mit einem studierten Verkehrspsychologen hatte er seine Fahrerlaubnis beim ersten Anlauf zurück.

Nach 1,8 Promille war mein Lappen weg. Ich hatte richtig Angst vor der MPU. Mein Psychologe bei ON-MPU hat mir in Ruhe erklärt, worauf es ankommt. Beim ersten Anlauf bestanden.
Klare Ansage, keine falschen Versprechungen. Wir haben ehrlich aufgearbeitet, warum es passiert ist. Genau das wollte der Gutachter hören.
Fall mit Straftaten-Hintergrund: nicht ganz einfach. Der Psychologe war ehemaliger Gutachter und wusste genau, worauf geachtet wird. Bestanden.
8 Punkte in Flensburg klangen wie das Ende. Mit ON-MPU habe ich verstanden, warum ich so gefahren bin, und wie ich es dauerhaft ändere.
Die Abstinenz-Organisation hat mir enorm den Rücken freigehalten. Termine, Labor, Fristen: alles lief. Ich musste mich nur auf mich selbst konzentrieren.
Cannabis-Fall nach der neuen Rechtslage: viele Vorbereiter waren überfordert. Bei ON-MPU wussten sie sofort Bescheid. MPU bestanden, Führerschein zurück.
Wartezeit auf den ersten Termin war etwas länger als erhofft. Inhaltlich aber top, MPU bestanden.
Punkte-MPU, zweiter Versuch. Nach dem ersten Durchfaller war ich mürbe. ON-MPU hat mit mir das negative Gutachten aufgearbeitet, diesmal geklappt.
Empatisch, professionell, keine Belehrung. Meine Psychologin hat mich verstanden, ohne dass ich mich rechtfertigen musste. Danke.
Online-Vorbereitung von zu Hause aus. Kein Führerschein, kein Problem: die Termine liefen per Videocall genauso persönlich wie vor Ort.
Ehrlich gesagt hatte ich Angst, ausgefragt zu werden. Stattdessen ein Gespräch auf Augenhöhe, und am Ende die Bestätigung, dass ich bereit bin.
Punkte-Fall, hätte nie gedacht, dass ich das durchbekomme. Fester Kundenbetreuer, fester Psychologe, klarer Plan. Am Ende: MPU bestanden.
Six solid reasons why more than 30.000 people have chosen us since 2006.
A completed psychology degree, every time. Some of our team worked as MPU assessors themselves and know the scoring logic from the inside. 80 % of the market works without a degree. We never do.
No group courses, no standard slide decks. Your case, your language, your pace: 1:1 with the same psychologist throughout your preparation.
Once agreed, your preparation continues until your psychologist considers you ready. No hourly billing, no upselling, no nasty surprises.
Our certificate of participation is recognised and valued by every assessment centre in Germany and can tip the scales in your MPU.
File inspection, deadline extensions, contact with the Führerscheinstelle, proof of abstinence: your personal client manager helps you with everything that comes up.
Through a strategic case analysis we often find routes without proof of abstinence, or with 6 instead of 12–15 months of waiting. Legal, documented and accepted by the authority.
You are prepared by qualified traffic psychologists with real experience, several of whom have worked as assessors themselves. Difficult constellations get discussed within the team so we find the best solution for every case. That is the difference that decides whether you pass.
You won't be sitting across from a trained-up adviser, but a psychologist with a completed degree. In Germany the title "MPU adviser" is not protected. "Psychologist" is.
Some of our psychologists worked as assessors themselves. They know the questions from the other side of the table and what really counts in the interview.
German, Turkish, Arabic, Russian and many more. People speak most honestly about hard topics in their own language.
„Er steuert mich, wenn ich in die falsche Richtung laufe. Nicht kritisch, das macht er dezent.“
„Ich hab nicht das Gefühl gehabt, dass ich vorverurteilt wurde, sondern eher das Gefühl, verstanden zu werden.“
„Die Psychologin hat nicht so arg auf die Zeit geschaut, sondern sich die Zeit genommen, die wir gebraucht haben.“
From the first call to a passed MPU, one fixed team stays with you. You always know your next step and what matters.
Free and no strings attached. Your adviser looks at your file, your reason and your timeframe.
Your personal client manager puts together a plan tailored to you.
We handle the lab, the deadlines and the file inspection with you, so you can focus on yourself.
1:1 with traffic psychologists, on site or online, for as long as it takes.
Before your MPU you rehearse the interview with an experienced psychologist so you walk in feeling sure.
Off to the assessment centre with your certificate of participation. Licence back.
A badly prepared MPU isn't the cheaper option, it's the more expensive one with a delay attached. Here's the sober maths.
Losing your licence is pressure enough. Language should not add another hurdle. At ON-MPU we prepare you in 12 languages, including English, in person, in plain words and as equals.
Several of our psychologists work in more than one language. If you prefer English or another language, we match you accordingly, and where it helps we arrange a sworn interpreter so language is never the obstacle.
You speak more openly about sensitive topics in your own language, and that honest reflection is exactly what decides your MPU.
The MPU itself is held in German. We prepare you so thoroughly that the language never stands between you and your licence.
More than 280 locations for personal 1:1 preparation on site. And if you no longer have a licence, or simply prefer it that way: around 90 % prepare flexibly online, with the same psychologist and the same quality.
Answers to the questions we hear most often on the phone and in consultations.
After your enquiry your personal adviser calls you within 24 hours. In the free consultation we analyse your case, clarify questions around abstinence and deadlines and set out an individual preparation plan. The preparation itself takes place in 1:1 sessions with a qualified traffic psychologist, either on site or online via Google Meet.
