An intensive driving crash course is a condensed version of the usual learning to drive process, where instead of going out once a week with a driving instructor, you go out many times during a week in four hour driving lesson blocks. It’s a completely safe and certified way to learn how to drive, and is becoming increasingly popular with a wide range of learner drivers in the UK.

There are a few reasons why this intensive learning to drive model is so successful. Firstly, you save a lot of time by learning to drive in a really efficient way, with no awkward gaps where you are likely to forget things. Secondly, you often save money by having all your learning to drive expenses condensed into one single course and fee. Spreading the cost of learning how to drive over a year can be very expensive, even if you don’t realise it at the time. Just a simple mathematical calculation of multiplying the price of an individual driving lesson by the likely hours of driving lessons taken over a year, should show you what we mean!

Yes, or otherwise we wouldn’t be offering them! Truthfully, we have high driving test pass rates, but a lot of that success comes down to our learner drivers and how much hard work they put in. If you aren’t ready to work hard and commit to the intensive driving model, it’s less likely to work.

As an intensive driving course is all about getting results fast and passing your driving test within the time frame available, driving instructor teaching methods are all about clarity. We will instill you with the driving skills and the confidence you need to pass your driving test.

It really varies: we have seen a wide range of driving students over the years. Usually intensive courses are a great option for people who need to learn how to drive quickly (like for a new job) or for people who already have some driving experience from awhile back, but need the final push before the test. An intensive course is also a good idea if you started learning to drive, but then took a big break from it and are now feeling rusty. We also see a lot students who learn how to drive during their holidays. Essentially, intensive driving crash courses are suitable for any type of learner driver..

An intensive driving course is a great way to learn for many people, but it might not be the optimal choice for you if you get nervous easily and find that you need longer to take things in when you are learning to drive. An intensive driving crash course is intensive (as the name suggests), so you’ll have to be willing to put the effort in. An assessment lesson is a great way to find out whether it’s a good option for you.

Here are some common myths you might hear about intensive driving courses:

• It’s just a way for companies to make easy money
• You are not a safe driver after an intensive course
• You automatically pass your test after an intensive driving course
• You spend less hours learning so you don’t know as much about driving

An intensive driving course is not the most expensive way to learn how to drive and it still makes you a safe driver. An intensive driving course does not however guarantee that you will automatically pass your driving test, you still need to go through the same DVLA process as anyone else taking a test in the UK. You don’t spend less hours learning on an intensive driving course, it’s just that the way those hours are spread out are different; you won’t be going out for an hour once a week, but you’ll be going out for several hours at a time. You still get plenty of varied driving experience..

Our intensive driving courses last between two to twelve days. A five day course includes 20 hours of tuition and the practical driving test fee, a seven day course gives you 30 hours’ tuition and the practical driving test fee and the ten days is 40 hours’ tuition and the fee. These hours are spread over the week and the weekend, and all our intensive driving crash courses include 1-to-1 supervised driving tuition as well as free pickup and drop-off at home, work or school. After the course finishes, you will sit a practical driving test that we have booked for you in advance.

We recommend our five and seven day courses for people with some previous driving experience; respectively we recommend either 20 or 30 hours of previous driving experience is probably best. Our 10 and 12 day intensive driving courses are suitable for beginner drivers with little or no previous driving experience.

We pretty much cover the North West of UK. Ashton-under-lyne, Droylsden, Salford, Cheetham Hill, Stockport and Hyde are just a few of the towns we cover. Give us a call and speak to an instructor that covers your area.

Whenever! We are open all year round. Having said that, as you need some time off, a lot of people do their driving course during the holidays or when they are free from studies or work commitments.

We ask for a deposit to make sure you are serious about taking one of our courses, and then ask for the balance 1 week before your actual course starts. The deposit amount is different for each course. We will confirm this in our communications. Our intensive driving courses are priced according to the course length and start from £200 for a car with manual gears. You can see more about our prices on our intensive driving course prices page. Please be aware that the deposit is non refundable once the course has been confirmed.

You will have to book the test as per DSA rules. Please note you will have to do a mock driving test with one of our instructors and pass before allowed to use one of our cars for the practical driving test.

You can drive either an automatic, or a manual gears car. Mention that you’d like a car with automatic gears to your instructor when you sign up, just to make sure we’ve got it covered in that particular area. All our instructors have cars that are safe and easy for learner drivers to get to grips with. We certainly wouldn’t recommend learning to drive in a sports car, though a Ferrari is always nice!

Yes, we have no extra charge for evening and weekend classes. We understand that some people aren’t available in the morning or during the day for a variety of reasons, so we aim to be flexible. Just remember that you’ll have to commit to having a significant number of lessons over the period of the intensive driving course.

We offer free theory help and advice. Remember, you’ll need to have passed your theory test before booking your practical driving test.

You certainly do! This is our chance to evaluate your current driving, as well as your chance to put any burning questions to us about our intensive driving course methods. Our assessment lessons only cost £30 for a 2 hour lesson because we want out students to have an affordable and easy way to see whether the intensive model is for them.
