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.
Intensive driving courses in Manchester cost £375 for 6 hours to £1,995 for 40, including test booking support and test day car hire. Most complete beginners need 30 to 40 hours.
Book 6 hours if you are almost test-ready, or 40 if you have never driven. Your first session sets the plan from there.

Every intensive driving course with test support comes with the same 6 things built in, never sold as extras.
Included from the start. A practical test date in 1 to 8 weeks, or your money back in full.
Sit your practical test in the dual control car you trained in, with no separate test day charge.
Train on the roads, junctions and roundabouts around your local test centre, where your test actually happens.
Complete realistic mock tests marked to DVSA standards, with feedback on exactly what to improve before test day.
The same instructor collects you from home, work or college every day, anywhere across 30+ Greater Manchester areas.
Most schools charge more for automatic. We do not, so you learn in the car you actually want to drive.
Intensive course driving lessons remove the forgetting gap between weekly sessions, so every hour builds on the last. You finish in 1 to 8 weeks instead of 6 to 18 months, with test booking support and test day car hire included. The cost is paid once, or monthly.
