In addition to regular hourly and two hourly driving lessons we also provide intensive driving lessons, sometimes also referred to as ‘crash course driving lessons’.

There is a lot of merit in intensive driving lessons which basically are a series of driving lessons compressed into a short period of time.

These crash course driving lessons are normally for learner drivers who want to pass their driving test in the shortest possible time.  One of the first requirements is that the Theory Test must have already been passed.  If you have not got a Theory Test Certificate you will not be eligible for a driving test so there would be no point in arranging intensive driving lessons.

Intensive driving lessons normally culminate in a driving test and are conducted over one or two weeks prior to the test.

I prefer to book the driving test and conduct the crash course driving lessons leaving one or two weeks between the finish of the intensive driving lessons and the test itself.  This is to allow for any problems that surface during the crash course driving lessons.

Sometimes learner drivers do not cope well with the pressure of intensive driving lessons and by leaving a short gap between the crash course driving lessons and the driving test, allows for the possibility that one may need to postpone the driving test.

Driving tests cost quite a lot and it is sensible to allow the candidate the option of postponement in order to save the loss of the test fee.  Very often, learner drivers are still not ready for a driving test at the end of the intensive driving lessons.

There is no set amount of hours required for crash course driving lessons as this largely depends on your level of experience.  It is normal to conduct an assessment of one’s ability to drive before a recommendation is made as to the number of hours that the intensive driving lessons will involve.

If after the assessment, both parties agree that there is a requirement for about 30 hours of training, the crash course driving lessons can be scheduled to cover a period of one to two weeks.  This means effectively that the learner driver needs to be trained for a period of between three to six hours daily, each day of the intensive driving lessons.
