What is an intensive driving course?
An intensive driving course, also referred to as a “crash course” is normally spread over 1 to 2 weeks and can be taken locally or in a residential format. Some courses have a test scheduled at the end of the training, although many do not. The amount of hours per day can vary from 2 to 6 hours with breaks. Courses with a lower number of hours per day are often referred to as semi-intensive driving courses.

Does a “Guaranteed Pass” Intensive Driving Course exist?
Please, save yourself money and hassle by reading the next paragraph. A “Guaranteed Pass” scheme or course can be misleading as there is no such thing as a guaranteed pass when taking a driving test. You are being mis-sold! Read the marketing or promotion being offered very carefully. In many cases you can’t even find details of the “guaranteed pass” course on the website. You are definitely NOT buying a guaranteed pass – even if the print says just that.
What you will probably find is you are being sold the “insurance” of some more lessons if you fail, or your next test fee paid for. Although this may sound good news you have almost certainly paid for it in the inflated price of the intensive driving course. An instructor may have a genuinely high pass rate but even then there can be no guarantee the next pupil or the one after that will pass. Keep in mind while you’re searching for the best intensive driving course – no driving instructor or driving school in the country can ever guarantee a driving test pass as it is entirely out of their hands. In reality what most of these companies are saying is “if you keep trying with us, eventually you will pass” and we’re prepared to guarantee that you’ll either pass or give up. Is that any different to what driving schools offer anyway? Find out what can be guaranteed on an intensive driving course or standard course of driving lessons.

What are the advantages of an intensive driving course?
- Time. Learning to drive in a shorter time-frame has its appeal. Sometimes taking a weekly driving lessons just seems to drag on interminably.
- Easier to remember. Not having to recall what was learnt (or not) a week ago, or spend the first half of the lesson getting back into your driving has its benefits. A well planned Intensive Driving Course should mean you learn faster, reaching a safe driving standard in few lessons.
- Focus. By allocated a week or two, almost exclusively for learning to drive, it is easier to commit and apply yourself to what needs to be learned.
- Repetition. It’s common knowledge now that frequently repeating tasks helps significantly with the learning process making intensive driving courses an ideal way of learning to drive for many.
- Cheaper than single driving lessons. Probably, but it’s really important to make comparisons between companies as we’ve mentioned above.
