An intensive driving course is a fast-track learning programme that condenses months of regular driving lessons into a much shorter timeframe - usually 4 to 6 weeks. It’s ideal for learners who want to pass their test quickly and can commit to regular, focused lessons.
Our intensive course is priced at £55 per hour. The total cost depends on how many hours you need, which we’ll assess with an initial driving session to determine your starting level.
Most learners complete their intensive course and take their practical test within 4-6 weeks. The exact timeline depends on your experience level, availability, and how quickly we can secure a local test slot.

No, however you must pass your DVSA theory test before we can book your practical driving test. If you haven’t passed it yet, we can still begin practical lessons and support you with theory revision tools.
We understand life can change. We require at least 48 hours’ notice for any changes to intensive course bookings. Short-notice cancellations may incur a fee due to the high demand for intensive slots.
Not at the moment. Our intensive courses are currently offered in a manual vehicle only, but we plan to offer automatic tuition in the future.
Yes – intensive doesn’t mean rushed. Our approach is calm, supportive, and adapted to your confidence level. Nervous drivers often benefit from the continuity and focus of intensive learning.

We typically take payment in instalments. A deposit may be required to secure your test booking and lesson schedule, with the remainder due as agreed.
