Intensive Driving Course FAQs
What is an intensive driving course?
An intensive driving course allows you the opportunity to pass your driving test in the quickest time possible.
We will book a test and confirm the date with you, and then arrange your course to be completed in the run leading up to that date.
Who are intensive driving courses suitable for?
Intensive driving courses are suitable for anyone who has passed their theory test, doesn't have a practical test booked and wants to pass in the fastest time possible!
Whether you're a complete beginner or need a brush up after a failed test, we've got packages for everyone.
How long does a crash course take?
Our intensive driving courses range from 6 hour packages to 40 hour packages and take between 1 and 12 weeks, depending on the selected package.
Can a beginner take an intensive driving course?
Yes!
Our 40 hours intensive driving package is perfect for those who have never been behind the wheel before. It gives you time to learn the basics, develop and improve driving skills, and prepare for your test.
Will I have the same instructor throughout the course?
We will strive to ensure you always have the same instructor throughout the crash course, as they will be able to keep a close eye on your progress and understand what you need to improve on.
What's the difference between an intensive course and weekly lessons?
The only difference between an intensive course and weekly lessons is how fast the lessons happen. You will still learn the same information and practice the same manoeuvres, it just happens faster!
