Book nowAn intensive driving course packs one to one driving lessons close together, usually 4 to 6 hours a day, so you are test ready in weeks rather than months. An intensive driving course can be a few hours for a learner close to test standard, or 30 to 45 hours for a complete beginner. An intensive driving course is usually taught one to one in a dual control car, manual or automatic. An intensive driving course normally ends with the practical driving test, so learners need a provisional licence and a theory test pass to book the test.
