A course you must pass to drive again.
Short answer
18+ topic. ANT stands for alcohol, drugs and traffic (alkohol, narko og trafik), a course you must take if your licence was taken, conditionally or unconditionally, or you got a driving ban for drink or drug driving. It has 4 lessons of 3 hours, 12 hours in total, spread over at least 4 weeks. The course costs 3,200 kr., which you pay yourself, and covers facts about alcohol and drugs and how to avoid drink and drug driving. You sign up on antk.dk, and the certificate is valid for one year.
