Our intensive driving courses range from a couple of days to several weeks depending on your previous
driving experience and the amount of time you wish to set aside for practice each day.
Most beginners require on average around 40 hours of professional tuition,
although this varies significantly from person to person. All our intensive courses are taught on
a one-to-one basis with a fully qualified, DSA registered Drivecoach instructor.
Intensive course structure
The course will start with an assessment lesson (explained below), after which we can arrange your course dates
and book your driving test. If you haven't yet passed the theory test we also have course
packages that include the theory test fee and study material.
Each day of the course will consist of between one and three 2-hour training sessions with a short
refreshment break in between each session.
Training will be in accordance with the most current DSA syllabus and the driving test will be arranged as the final
hour of your course.
Assessment lesson
To determine the most suitable course package, you'll first need to complete a
two hour assessment lesson with one of our driving instructors. This is also
an opportunity for you get to know the instructor and try out the tuition car prior to
booking your intensive driving course.
The assessment lesson can be taken any time, however we recommend you book it as early as possible, at least 3 weeks prior to the
start date of your course.
