Has anyone asked this before? If you can't disapparate or apparate at Hogwarts, how, when and where do you learn to do it? They make it sound hard, so that it might take some time, but somehow, before your seventh year, you learn it and take a test for it. It seems rather like a wizard version of a drivers license. Is there a special school for it?

Maybe it's kind of like learning to fly a broomstick; not a permanent subject. But I'd imagine they'd need at least three weeks to learn how to apparate, especially if it's half as hard as everyone keeps saying it is.

Well Percy learned it after his 7th year, but the Twins learnt it a year before that, so I think that they all learn it outside school.
I don't think it's a Hogwarts subject though.
If it is, I can only picture them going to Hogsmeade or surrounding area.
This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

If I am not mistaken, the test is taken at the Ministry. But, that does bring up the question of "how" a student learns to apparate. I guess maybe their parents teach them. Who knows, maybe they take a class at the Ministry. Kinda like Driver's Ed schools??!!!

It appeared to me that "Aparation" has something to do with "the coming of age thing". I remember Mrs Weasly say something along the lines of: 'Just because you are of age, does not mean you can join the order'. The boys had just turned of age over the summer, and that coinsided with them aparating. I do believe it is somekind of test, and you learn it when you turn 17, which for harry, will be just before his last year at hogwarts. I'm sure we will learn more in about 2-4 years.

i would say its something like a driver's test. you don't learn to drive in YOUR school, but you do learn at a driver's school. maybe there's a school to learn to apparate and disapparate.
