Intensive Courses
For some people they cannot wait to pass their Driving test and believe that learning to drive in a week
is a good idea as it gets it all over with very quickly. It is far better and more economical to spread
your lessons over a few weeks rather than one. We do not recommend that you have more than 4 hours
driving tuition a day (2 hours morning + 2 hours afternoon) as you will be paying for lessons that
are not doing you any good. Ask any experienced driver how they feel after driving solidly for 4 hours,
and bear in mind you are trying to learn a new skill as well.
For example:
• Two young people under 25 die every day in crashes in Great Britain.
• In their first year of driving, one driver in five is involved in a crash.
It is also not possible to book a Practical Driving Test until you have passed the Theory Test therefore
it makes sense to have some lessons while preparing for your Theory Test as this will also help with
the Hazard Perception Test.
Intensive courses can take many forms, depending on your driving experience and whether you have
already passed the Theory test.
Not yet passed the Theory Test?
If you have not passed your Theory test and want to get both tests done as quickly as possible then
you would need approx. 6 - 8 weeks, depending on test availability at the time.
Already passed the Theory Test
If you have passed your Theory test then we would book your Driving Test straight away and your
instructor would advise you on the right course of lessons to buy.
The most important issue is not to feel under pressure.
If you / we feel that you haven't progressed sufficiently to pass your practical test, then with
your agreement the test can be cancelled and re-arranged for a time when you / we feel that you are
ready. (3 clear working days notice required for cancellation).
Failed the Driving Test
If you have just failed a test or have a lot of driving experience (and have passed your Theory Test)
then again your instructor would assess your driving and we would book your driving test straight
away as it is unlikely the you will need many lessons to bring you up to test standard.
The most efficient way to drive is two 2 hour lesson per week, this gives you the time to take in what
has been taught in each lesson, but does not drag things out too much.
If your work or educational commitments make if difficult for you to learn in the conventional way,
please call us and we will try and find a training programme that suits you as an individual.
