Why learn intensively?

Less time between lessons.
More time in the driving seat.

With weekly lessons, a lot of life can happen between one drive and the next. An intensive course gives you a focused period to keep practising while the previous lesson is still fresh.

It’s a chance to build momentum, revisit tricky skills regularly and give learning to drive a proper place in your diary.

What that can mean for you

  • Continuity: build on recent practice instead of long gaps between lessons.
  • Focus: make driving a priority for a planned period.
  • Confidence through repetition: return to skills that need work.
  • A personal approach: one-to-one tuition guided by your progress.

Intensive learning still takes effort and everyone progresses differently. Weekly lessons can suit people who prefer more time between sessions. We’ll help you weigh up the options honestly.

A team and a toolkit
to help you move forward.

From your first question to your preparation for independent driving, you have people to ask and practical tools to keep learning.

Theory app + instructor support

Prepare for your theory with app access and support from your instructor. Bring your questions into your learning instead of struggling through them alone.

DriveHub pupil app

Keep connected to your learning through the DriveHub pupil app, alongside the guidance you receive in the car.

Questions before you book?

Let’s make the details clear.

Should I choose five or seven days?

The five-day course is generally better suited to learners with previous driving experience. Seven days gives extra training time and may suit learners who need more practice or are newer to driving. Your starting point matters: talk to us on Live Chat for help choosing. Some pupils need additional tuition.

Can I learn in an automatic?

Yes. Both courses offer an automatic upgrade for £50 before any eligible discount, subject to instructor availability. The 7-day automatic option is currently unavailable in BS23 and BS48. Choose your transmission on the course booking page, or ask us to check your area.

Do I need to have passed my theory test?

Tell us your theory progress when you enquire. We provide theory app access with instructor support, and your theory must be passed before a practical test can be booked. Course timing and practical test availability need planning separately. Read about theory and practical tests →

Is a practical test guaranteed at the end?

No. Test readiness depends on your progress and practical test dates depend on DVSA availability. Practical test booking and fees are separate. Your instructor will advise honestly about your readiness; no course guarantees a pass.

Can I pay a deposit?

Yes: a £399 deposit is available on the advertised manual courses, with the balance due seven days before the course. The November NOV10 discount applies only when paying in full. The booking page shows your selected options and total before checkout.

What if my dates change or I need more help?

Contact the team as soon as possible if your plans change. Confirmed courses reserve instructor time, so changes depend on notice, availability and the booking terms. Additional tuition may be needed. Any corrective lesson support is discretionary and subject to its terms and availability.

How do gift vouchers work?

Choose a value and design on the gift voucher page. The electronic voucher is sent by email and is valid for 12 months. The recipient calls our office to redeem it against their course, paying any remaining balance separately. Speak to us if you’d like help choosing a value.
