Courses are run throughout the year and will cover various driving scenarios and areas such as City, Town and Village driving as well as a selection of road types such as dual carriageway and lanes.
Intensive Courses
What you get
You will receive a selection of driving and theory lessons throughout the day on a one-to-one basis, Monday to Friday which will, at the end of the course, enable you to take your driving test. We will do our best to arrange your intensive course to coincide with the test date you have been given, however, this may not always be practical. You will be encouraged to drive in various conditions of traffic and also at various times of day. A totally natural driving scenario is what the course is all about and it will allow you to condition yourself to ‘everyday’ driving.
On each day you will be collected by your instructor and you will undertake a day of practical driving. At the end of each session you will dropped back to your accommodation or residence.
What you need to know & have
This type of learning is not suitable for everyone as it requires a great deal of concentration. If you are over 30 years old or of a nervous nature then we highly recommend that the ten day course is more suitable.
You will need to present a valid provisional driving licence to your instructor, on your first day, before any lessons can be undertaken. Booking your test is quite straight forward and can be undertaken via the Direct Gov web site. You will find ALL the links you need below.
