When you learn to drive in a shorter period than usual is classed as an intensive driving course.
A typical intensive driving course involves 6 or more hours of driving in one week, and in many cases, a learner can undertake 6 hours of driving just in one day.
Intensive driving courses are no longer than 2 weeks, and in most cases, a learner undertakes 30 to 42 hours of driving in a week.
Semi-intensive courses can be between 1 to 12 weeks, and in general, 1 lesson is no longer than 3 hours.
Non-intensive or conventional driving courses could take between 6 months to 1 year before you sit the test, and lessons are usually no longer than 2 hours.
Saves Time
If you want to get the licence in a couple of weeks, then an intensive course is perfect for you.
Good for forgetful people
Short gaps between lessons make it easier to remember the skills you learned in the last lesson, and regular practice helps to retain the information. So intensive driving course will be helpful.
It can be tiring and nerve-racking, and sometimes even when you want to reschedule, you won't be able to, because of the availability of a driving instructor or the next date for the driving test.

Do I need to book a practical test before booking an intensive course?
Yes. You must have a practical driving test booked before booking an Intensive or Semi-Intensive Course with us. We do not book or guarantee practical test dates. Having your test booked allows us to plan your training around your test date.
How many hours should I book?
This depends on your experience, ability and confidence.
42 Hours – Beginner – Complete beginners or those needing comprehensive training.
30 Hours – Intermediate – Learners with some previous driving experience.
20 Hours – Amateur – Learners with reasonable experience who need further training.
12 Hours – Test Ready – Experienced learners who are approaching test standard.
These are guidelines only. We cannot guarantee that a particular number of hours will make you test-ready.
