Answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Intensive driving courses are a growing and more popular alternative to the traditional approach of having 1 lesson per week over 6 to 12 months. It is far more suitable for many people than you may realise, and more and more instructors are embracing this too. Once a deposit has been paid, will search our network of local instructors and will allocate you to our most suitable driving instructor. Once we have allocated you, he/she will call you will agree on a start date, and plan in most, if not all of your lessons on the initial call. The instructor picks you up from your chosen pick up point every day. The in-car training would be completed in the vehicle, usually 3-6 hours per day. We aim to be flexible so if you cannot agree on a schedule, however, please note you also have to show flexibility to ensure a full lesson schedule can be agreed with you an the instructor. The in-car training with an intensive driving course continues daily to use your tuition hours up, and we get the quickest possible driving test, we always aim to secure a test around the estimated completion date offered online, however, dates will fluctuate depending on test centre availability. The final 90 minutes of all standard driving test courses are for hiring the car to take the driving test using the driving instructor’s vehicle. The DVSA do not provide cars so you will need to use your driving instructor’s vehicle. If you require a theory test and revision too, see our below section. Note: Please do not book any time off work until you have spoken and agreed on the dates and times with your instructor.
