What is an intensive driving course?
An intensive course, sometimes called a crash course, packs your driving lessons into a short period rather than spreading them out over months. Instead of one lesson a week, you might do 2 hours a day for two weeks, or 4 hours a day for a week. The goal is to get you to test standard quickly.
It's a good fit if you have a deadline, like a job starting that requires a licence, or if you simply learn better with repeated immersive practice rather than long gaps between sessions.
Is an intensive course right for me?
Intensive courses work best for people who are already reasonably confident or who have had some previous lessons. Complete beginners can do them, but you should be prepared for the lessons to be demanding. Tomas will be honest with you about whether your timeline is realistic before you commit.
How many hours will I need?
The DVSA average is 45 hours, but intensive students often need between 20 and 40 depending on their starting point. A short assessment call with Tomas before you book will help set realistic expectations.
