Why Intensive Driving Courses?
In recent years we have seen unprecedented demand for driving lessons and driving tests. The simple facts are that there are not enough Instructors and Examiners to clear the back log of people wishing to learn to drive and pass their test.
An Intensive Driving Course offers an efficient way of getting on the road reasonably quickly. Please note an Intensive Driving Courses is not a short cut, compromising safety and putting people on the road who shouldn't be there.
Although the ultimate goal of your Intensive Driving Course is to help you pass your Driving Test, you should choose a course that offers you the opportunity to gain valuable experience. For example, if you haven't been in a car in your life, chances are that during the 30 hour course we would be concentrating on the basics and getting you to a standard where you can pass your test. Whereas, someone that has 20 hours of experience will find themselves driving out to other towns and using the motorway on their course. Gaining experience in a safe supervised environment is invaluable.
Our Intensive Driving Courses are run over one week or in the case of the longest courses, over two weeks. A normal training day starts at 9.15am and finishes at 4.15pm. Training sessions are 2 hours long with a 30 mins break in between each session.
Intensive Driving Courses are very demanding, they require the ability to concentrate for long periods of time for a number of consecutive days and as such are not suitable for everyone. You must consider carefully if this is the right driver training method for you.
