Intensive driving courses are a growing and more popular alternative to the traditional approach of having 1 lesson per week.
Rather than spending over 6 to 12 months. Many people prefer intensive courses as it helps keeps the driving practice fresh in your mind, making it possible to pass faster than the traditional single lessons approach.
Once a deposit has been paid, we will search our network of local instructors and allocate you to our most suitable driving instructor. Once we have allocated you, he/she will call you and agree on start times and pick up location.
You and the instructor decide the schedule and pace you want to learn at. If you cannot agree on a schedule, you can contact us and we will allocate another driving instructor.
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.
Your theory and practical tests will be booked using our automated FastLane system to get you the earliest possible date.
We have developed our own automated FastLane service which constantly monitors for cancellations so that we can reserve those slots and find you driving tests at short notice.
While you're having your driving lessons we are busy working behind the scenes to book your tests as quickly as possible.
Most fast-pass service provides do not have an automated system to find test slots, instead they rely on manual processes which can mean that they miss potential opportunities.
Most of our bookings have a test on the expected final day.
If you are unlucky and your local test centre does not have a cancellation slot, you can rest assured that we will find one as soon as possible.
We are able to secure theory test positions within about 2 weeks notice. Our automated FastLane service actively monitors for cancellations and if something becomes available your test can be brought forward if you would like it sooner.
The duration of an intensive driving course can vary depending on the driving school and the needs of the learner driver. Typically, an intensive driving course can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The length of the course is often determined by the number of hours of driving lessons included in the course and how many lessons the learner driver can comfortably fit into their schedule. Our intensive driving courses start with as little as 5 hours of driving lessons over a few days, while others can include up to 45 hours of lessons over several weeks. It is important to discuss your specific needs and goals with us to determine the best course length for you.
Intensive driving courses can be suitable for beginners, but it depends on the individual learner driver's needs and preferences. Some beginners may find that an intensive course provides them with the focused, intensive instruction they need to quickly develop their driving skills and gain confidence behind the wheel. However, other beginners may feel overwhelmed by the pace of an intensive course and prefer to take lessons over a longer period of time - by booking with us you have the option of spreading out your lessons if you so wish.
Yes absolutely. Contact us to discuss how many hours you are likely to need.
An intensive driving course can provide a focused, accelerated learning experience and overall we find that our pass rates are higher than the DVSA average.

To make driving tests more representative of real-life driving, the DVSA no longer publishes official test routes. However, you can find a number of recent routes used on our practical driving test centre routes page.
While test routes are likely to be very similar to our compiled list, you should treat this content as a rough guide only. Exact test routes are at the examiners’ discretion and are subject to change.

Our packages start from 5 hours, however if you need more hours than this we recommend booking the larger couse as this will result in discounted hourly rates. The pace at which you have those lessons is your choice.
Nobody can 100% guarantee you will pass a test first time, we just charge you for 1 theory test (if booked) and 1 driving test in your initial payment. Some companies may offer ‘free’ retests or something similar, but you’ll generally pay more in the initial payment, then they will pay for extra tests if needed.
