6 Hours
£370
A focused 6-hour intensive driving course for near test-ready learners who need targeted practice on specific weaknesses, manoeuvres or test routes before sitting their DVSA practical test.
10 Hours
£550
A 10-hour intensive driving course for partly trained learners, covering key driving skills, manoeuvres, road awareness and independent driving with structured practical test preparation across Manchester roads.
20 Hours
£1,000
A 20-hour intensive driving course for learners with some experience who need broader training across junctions, roundabouts, manoeuvres, lane positioning and independent driving on real test routes.
30 Hours
£1,450
Start from the basics with the 30-hour intensive driving course. Built for complete beginners, it covers vehicle control, manoeuvres, road awareness, busy Manchester junctions and full practical test preparation, so you reach test day genuinely ready rather than rushed.
40 Hours
£1,900
Our most complete training option. The 40-hour intensive driving course covers every major skill, from first controls to advanced test preparation, with extra time on dual carriageways, independent driving and mock tests for learners who want no gaps left.
20 Hours
£1,100
The 20 Hour Super Intensive Driving Course provides concentrated training for learners who want to make faster progress. Develop essential driving skills, improve confidence behind the wheel and prepare for your practical test with structured manual or automatic lessons.
Your instructor assesses your current ability and pinpoints what needs work. Training covers vehicle control, observations, steering, junctions, positioning and road awareness on quieter local roads first.
Lessons progress to roundabouts, traffic lights, dual carriageways, independent driving and manoeuvres. Your instructor corrects recurring faults and builds your confidence in heavier Manchester traffic conditions.
Before your practical test you complete a full mock test under exam conditions, driven on the routes used by your DVSA test centre. Your instructor identifies remaining weaknesses and targets them, so test day feels familiar rather than daunting.
Every intensive driving course price is published below with no hidden costs. Manual and automatic cost the same, and Payl8r plans are available.

ratheesh reghunadhanLearn with experienced ADI-approved instructors delivering intensive driving courses across 30+ Manchester locations. Every lesson is adapted to your experience, confidence, progress and practical test preparation needs.
Impulse delivers manual and automatic intensive driving courses across Manchester and Greater Manchester. Learn with ADI-approved instructors on the roads you will actually be tested on, with lessons adapted to your experience, confidence and local conditions.
An intensive driving course groups your lessons into consecutive days or weeks instead of spreading them over months. Training is built around your experience and covers vehicle control, junctions, roundabouts, manoeuvres, independent driving and practical test preparation.
Courses are sold by training hours rather than guaranteed completion dates. Options run from 6 to 40 hours, with super intensive courses available in 20-hour and 30-hour formats over consecutive days. Your schedule depends on availability and your agreed plan.
Prices start from £370 for six hours. The 10-hour course is £550, the 20-hour £1,000, the 30-hour £1,450 and the 40-hour £1,900. Manual and automatic intensive courses cost exactly the same.
Impulse records a 93% first-time pass rate overall, against a DVSA national average of 48.7%. A separate intensive-course figure is not published. Your result depends on starting ability, preparation, consistency and test-day performance.
No. You can start driving lessons before passing your theory test, but you need a valid theory test pass certificate to book and sit your practical driving test. Certificates stay valid for two years from your pass date.
Since 12 May 2026, learner drivers must book and manage their own car driving tests through GOV.UK. Instructors and third-party services can no longer book, change or cancel a car test for you.
Manual courses teach clutch control and gear changes; automatic courses remove both, which many learners find faster to master. A manual pass lets you drive both car types. An automatic pass covers automatic cars only.
It depends on your previous experience, confidence and current ability. Impulse offers 6, 10, 20, 30 and 40-hour courses. Your first assessment session identifies the right option for you rather than promising a fixed number of hours.
Your instructor reviews the faults recorded on your test report and builds targeted training around them, on the same routes where the faults occurred. Impulse also offers a dedicated Re-test Course for learners resitting their practical.
Yes, though a compressed schedule does not suit everyone. Nervous learners usually do better on a longer 20 or 30-hour course that builds confidence gradually. Your instructor adapts the pace and lesson focus to your progress and comfort.
Start an intensive driving course in Manchester with ADI-approved instructors delivering manual and automatic training built around your experience and test date. Build real skills through focused lessons, varied road practice and full DVSA test preparation, on the routes you will be tested on.
