FAQS

Questions Intensive Driving Learners Ask

Start Driving Now

How much does an intensive driving course cost in Manchester?

Intensive driving courses in Manchester start at £375 for 6 hours with Impulse. The 10 hour course is £550, the 20 hour £1,195, the 30 hour £1,650 and the 40 hour £1,995. Every course costs the same manual or automatic.

Is the driving test included in an intensive driving course?

No, and no driving school can include it. The DVSA practical test fee is paid to the DVSA, £62 on weekdays and £75 evenings and weekends. An intensive driving course price covers test booking support, car hire for the practical and the hour set aside on the day.

How does intensive driving course test booking work?

Every intensive driving course includes test booking support at no extra charge, with a practical test date in 1 to 8 weeks or your money back in full. You need a provisional licence and a theory test pass before a test can be booked.

Is there an intensive driving course near me?

Impulse runs intensive driving courses across 30+ areas of Greater Manchester, with door to door pick up so your course starts at your address. We train on the routes used by Cheetham Hill on Alderglen Road, West Didsbury at Christie Park, Sale on Poplar Grove, plus Bolton, Bury, Bredbury and Chadderton.

How many hours of intensive driving lessons do I need, and how many a day?

The DVSA average is around 45 hours, but intensive learners with experience need fewer. Six hours suits someone close to test standard, and 40 suits a complete beginner. Training runs at 4 to 6 hours a day, and your assessment drive settles the count honestly.

Is an intensive driving course automatic or manual?

Both, at exactly the same price. An intensive automatic driving course suits learners who want to skip the clutch, and most reach test standard sooner. Whichever you choose, you sit the test in the car you trained in.

Is an intensive driving crash course any different?

No. An intensive crash course is the same product under another name: one to one lessons at 4 to 6 hours a day, finishing in days or weeks. Our intensive crash driving courses run from 6 to 40 hours, from £375, with test booking support included.

Why choose Impulse over other intensive driving schools?

Because of what we publish: every price in full, test booking support with a test date in 1 to 8 weeks or your money back, and automatic at the manual price. Every instructor is a DVSA approved ADI, and a female instructor costs nothing extra.

Is an intensive driving course worth it?

For learners with a deadline, usually yes. Daily training removes the forgetting gap between weekly lessons, so progress is faster. The trade offs are intensity, which some nervous learners find tiring, and the upfront cost, which Payl8r can spread monthly with no credit check to apply.

What happens if I fail my driving test after an intensive course?

You can book additional hours before a retest, and the DVSA retest fee is £62 on weekdays or £75 evenings and weekends. Learners who want the tuition cost fixed however many attempts they need choose the Guaranteed Pass course at £2,995, unlimited hours for a year.
