A refresher lesson targets the situations that make you hesitate, such as busy junctions, roundabouts, parking, lane discipline, meeting traffic or driving after a long break.
Your instructor checks what you can already do, then rebuilds the missing confidence step by step instead of treating you like a complete beginner

Most Impulse crash driving courses involve 4 to 8 hours of instruction per day, with breaks. DVSA regulations cap driving instruction at 8 hours per day. Lesson hours are planned around your energy and progress. Most students find 6 hours per day the most productive on a multi-day course.
Yes. All Impulse crash courses are available in automatic transmission at the same price as manual. An automatic licence permits you to drive automatic vehicles only. If you later want to drive manual, you would need a separate manual test. Your instructor will explain this fully before you choose.
Yes. You must hold a valid theory test certificate before a DVSA practical test can be booked. If you have not yet taken your theory test, book it before enquiring about a crash course. Contact us and we can point you toward reliable theory test preparation resources.
If you do not pass on your first attempt, your instructor will review the examiner's feedback with you and, depending on your course, provide additional preparation hours before re-booking your test. The Unlimited Intensive Driving Course includes ongoing training until you pass. Ask about this option when enquiring.
Most Impulse crash course students are on the road within 3 to 5 days of enquiring, subject to instructor availability. Call 0161 492 0547 or complete the booking form below and we will confirm your start date, instructor, and course within 24 hours.
