Before starting an intensive driving course you must have your provisional licence. If you are unsure how to obtain one, visit the Q&A page.

1. The one week intensive driving course - Usually 6 to 8 hours per day. You would potentially start on Monday and finish with the test on the Saturday. We would take several breaks during the day splitting the hours up into several two or three hour sessions. Say 9am-12pm and then start again at 3pm-6pm. For the week long course you must have completed and passed your theory exam proir to starting. This type of course is very intense. If you find studying and concentrating for long periods difficult, then this may not be the course for you.

One week courses are only available at quiet times of year to be fair to our other on-going students.

2. The two week intensive driving course - Usually 4 hours per day (broken into two 2 hour sessions) for two weeks finishing with the test on the final day. This type of course is far more flexible, allowing time to absorb the information and skills learnt between lessons. It also allows you time to rest - concentrating for long periods consecutively can be counter-productive for some learners. You must have completed and passed your theory exam before starting the course.

3. The month long intensive driving course - Suitable for people who have other commitments, such as work, children or studies. You can opt to book 30 hours for example, and then fit those hours in at times to suit you. You may choose to have two lessons on day one, have a day off, then three hours the next day and so on. This option is very flexible and by far the most popular method for learning to drive. It also allows you to learn with friends and family in-between lessons, cementing the skills learnt during your lesson. It's advisable to have taken and passed your theory exam prior to the course as the waiting time for theory exams can be up to four weeks.

4. The complete intensive driving course package - We've received a high number of enquiries recently from students wanting to undertake an intensive driving course without having first passed the theory. So we have decided to offer a new type of intensive course; The complete package. We book your theory, provide you with the latest Official DSA theory test kit for car drivers (made by the people who set the driving test), once completed we then book your practical test for you (on a day and at a time that suits) and draw up a time table for your lessons. You can still choose the amount of hours you would like behind the wheel, over what period of time and have full access to our unique online driving tutorials. Simply add £130 to the price of a normal intensive driving course.

You need to contact me first to check availablity, we can then discuss your needs and plan when is best to book the test and begin your intensive driving course. Please bear in mind that the waiting time for driving exams all over Bristol is between 4 and 9 weeks all year round.

How many hours will I need?
Well, it all depends on the individual. If you have some previous experience, play sports or dance, pick up practical skills easily and are in your teens or early twenties, you'll probably need fewer lesssons and the 30 hour course would suit you.

If you in your fourties, have never played any sports in your life, find learning new practical skills difficult and have no road experience, not even on a bike, then you'll need nearer 40 or perhaps even 50 hours.
The important thing here is to be honest. If you try to squeeze it all into 30 hours, and after a few lessons it becomes obvious you'll not get to the standard required, you'll have to move your test to another date, perhaps even cancel it and re-book when you're ready.

Intensive Course FAQ

Does the price include the test fee?

No, not unless you take out our complete package. We ask that students book their own test on a day and at a time that suits them. The cost of a practical test is £62 at the moment.

Can I book my test before I have passed my theory?

No. The DSA will not even allow you to look at test dates before the theory has been completed.

Can I start an intensive course before I pass my theory?

You can, however, it's not the best way to do it. The wait for a theory is around 2 weeks, and then the wait for a practical can be up to 9 weeks. We recommend starting your course with the test booked, so by the last day you're at your peak and this is when you take the test. The alternative is to under take our complete intensive driving course package.
