What is an Intensive course?
Sometimes you have so much going on in your life that you have a limited amount of time to spend on driving lessons and a test.
These popular courses are very flexible and are designed around your busy schedule. lots of people are keen to get their driving licence quickly so an intensive course is great if you are that type of person.
Intensive or semi intensive courses are designed to deliver a set of driving lessons over a very short period, it can enable you to pick up the essential skills and become proficient quicker. It can be adapted to suit individual needs. The lessons can be arranged to be taken over one more weeks depending on your shedule.
Because the learning period is short, information will be retained and confidence will increase as you progress. Your instructor will be able to monitor your progress daily, provide feedback and concentrate on weak areas in preperation for your driving test. Your instructor will be remain the same during the course for continuity. The average Uk test candidate requires 45 hours to complete the entire driving syllabus and achieve the driving test standard.
Intensive learning does not suit everyone, it is learning under pressure, so make sure you have an assessment lesson to help you make a decision. Approximately 30 or 40 hours is required for each course and as with any test it is then down to you to prove you are able to drive safely by passing the driving test.
