What if I don't live near the area you cover? Then you can take a residential course where you can stay at one of many hotels or bed and breakfast establishments in our area while you are on your intensive driving course. We can provide you with details if required. The cost of staying at one of these is separate from the course and paid directly to where you stay. We have had many new drivers coming from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Blackpool, Bristol and many other parts of the UK.

Can anyone book an Intensive Driving Course? No. In order to take an Intensive Driving Course you must have passed your theory test first. This is because the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), will not book your practical driving test until you have passed the theory test. If you haven't passed your theory test contact us for advice on what to do next.

Do you guarantee that I will pass the driving test?
No. No-one can, however we can guarantee that you will receive all the tuition required to bring you up to the standards needed in order to pass the driving test, the test itself is up to you. If you drive to the standards that we will teach you, then you should have no trouble passing the driving test.

Quick and Cost Effective Way to Learn to Drive
Intensive Driving Courses are the quickest and most cost effective way of learning to drive as well as providing the safest preparation for driving on today's roads.
Intensive driving has many advantages over the conventional method of learning to drive. You will be taught by a fully qualified Department of Transport Approved Driving Instructor throughout your course in a modern dual controlled car on a one to one basis.
Your instructor will constantly monitor your ability and will discuss your progress during the day. The Video Drive System is used to record your driving lessons and it gives you the opportunity to study and view your own driving mistakes or success at the end of each lesson.
Many people feel that hourly lessons go on and on forever. This is one of the many advantages of an Intensive course where you learn to drive over a short period of time with your test taken at one of our local test centres.

Some Important Questions about Intensive Driving Courses.

Why take an Intensive Driving Course?

If you don't have much time because of work patterns or maybe you need your driving licence to start a new job or you may not have the time required to take lessons on a weekly basis, or maybe you don't want to wait months to sit your test. All of the above and many more reasons will affect your decision to take an intensive driving course.

What do I need to consider when thinking about taking an Intensive Driving Course?

Time, you need to be able to come for your lessons on a daily basis. You will on average be driving for around five hours a day with a break for lunch. Your course will also include the practical driving test at the end of your training and you will receive confirmation of your test booking directly from the DSA. We will book the test for you and arrange the date and time to suit your commitments. All of our intensive driving courses will include driving tests from Monday to Friday. Training is also Monday to Friday.

Can you provide me with either a male or female driving instructor?
