INTENSIVE DRIVING COURSES

Is it the best way for you?

Experience tells us it is wiser to take frequent one or two hour lessons, i.e. every other day rather than cram all you need to learn into a week or so. It is a fact that learning is more positive when taken in small `bites` and information and development of skills are more likely to be retained. There are limits to how much the human brain can accept; After 4 hours or so learning ceases, headaches and despondency set in.

For some however, this is not practical due to personal commitments and an intensive course is the only option. If you have yet to pass your theory test then you should take regular lessons until you have, then book the appropriate course.

What to do next

We will send you an application form asking for all the information needed to book your test, such as your Theory Test Pass Certificate details and your UK Provisional Driving License Details and full Postal Address, we will also ask for a none refundable deposit of £150.00 which is part of the total course fees.

As soon as we have received your application we will book your driving test to suit you. (Please note that different test centres have varying waiting times between 2 to 7 weeks) You will be contacted by your trainer who will arrange your course and pick up point.

What happens during the course?

If you live more than about 10 minutes drive from your chosen test centre it is advisable to make your own way to a pre arranged pick up point to meet your trainer (i.e. the train/bus station) to avoid wasting precious tuition time on travelling to and from home

To concentrate for more than an hour or so without a short break would be counter productive so always tell your trainer if you want a short break, if your course involves more than a two hour session then a break will be built into the session anyway.

The course will be structured so as to enhance your existing skills and learn new ones, it is vital that you learn at your own pace but you should keep in mind the time restraints you have applied.

Which course is for you?

Our courses are designed to achieve between 10 and 35 hours over 5 - 10 days but can be tailored to suit you. Some students come to us almost at test standard or perhaps have recently failed a test and want to improve their skills before their next attempt in which case our 10 hours course is often appropriate; others are complete beginners and require 30 hours or more. Training is carried out on a 1:1 only basis

About your trainer

Subject to diary commitments you can choose a male or female trainer, all are fully qualified and experienced registered approved driving instructors of the highest calibre and local and familiar with the area in which you choose to take your test. In addition they have either achieved or are striving to achieve the RoSPA Gold award in advanced driving.

FREE Theory test training CD ROMs.

If you have yet to take the Theory / Hazard perception test we will send you a free set of “Driving Test Theory” CD ROMs upon receipt of your reservation fee; these are essential if you are to succeed in passing the hazard perception test element of the test in particular and are yours to keep.

We can arrange your practical test immediately…

If you have already passed the theory test, to do this we will need your RESERVATION DEPOSIT, DRIVER NUMBER, THEORY TEST CERTIFICATE NUMBER and the DATE YOU PASSED, your FULL POSTAL ADDRESS and DATE OF BIRTH. We ask for these details when you call us.

We will then introduce you to your trainer who will arrange a one-hour assessment lesson, this is essential in order to decide on the course which will offer the best possible chance of a first time pass.

It is a fact that the older we get the longer it takes to achieve test standard, sad but true! But you can be assured that we will be honest with you and not `rip you off`. Our excellent reputation is important to us.
