Book nowA 10 day driving course takes a complete beginner from first lesson to driving test across 10 lesson days, with free days in between. Each lesson day on a 10 day driving course has about 4 hours of driving, so learners stay fresh. Early lesson days on a 10 day driving course cover the controls on quiet roads, and later days move to busy junctions and mock tests. The full 10 day driving course adds up to 40 hours behind the wheel, close to the DVSA average of 45. A 10 day driving course in Manchester is the 40 Hour Course, which costs £1,995 for 39 hours of lessons and a 1 hour practical test.
Ten days gives your instructor time to identify repeated mistakes, apply corrections across different situations and revisit difficult areas until improvements become consistent.
This course is best for learners who want intensive progress but still need time for control, junctions, roundabouts, manoeuvres, independent driving and test-style route practice.

Every 10 day driving course includes these 6 things in the £1,995 price, from your first lesson day to your practical test.
Test booking support means a practical test date in 1 to 8 weeks, or your money back in full.
A 10 day driving course includes test day car hire in the same insured car you trained in.

Yes, a 10 day driving course is built for complete beginners, and its 40 hours sit just below the DVSA average of 45. The DVSA average also includes around 22 hours of private practice alongside lessons, and a 10 day driving course leaves room for that between lesson days.
No, you can start a 10 day driving course before passing theory, but the practical test can only be booked once your theory test is passed. Passing theory before the first lesson day lets test booking support plan the whole course around your test date.
Not as a 40 hour course, because the 40 Hour Course spreads its lesson days over 4 to 8 weeks. The fastest way to fit in 40 hours is the 40 Hour Week Intensive Course, across 7 days in a row.
