Intensive driving courses

Pressed for time? Need to get a driving licence quickly? Then a customised intensive driving course may be the solution for you. Why not use our course designer to find out if an intensive course is the right course for you.

An intensive course involves taking multiple lessons over a short period of time and is ideal for those people who need to get to test standard fast. At Ignition Driving School we use our expertise to design a course that is:

• as flexible or intensive as you need it to be
• conducted in your local area
• conducted at your local test centre
• done by a local, patient and friendly instructor
• conducted in accordance with the Driving Standards Agency’s requirements
• available across the country with one of our residential courses

There are 3 courses available depending on your situation.

Course 1: Taking regular driving lessons a week until the test date arrives.
If you have not booked a theory test to date and for those of you who are starting learning to drive from scratch, this is by far the most suitable route for you to take. The intensive driving course works by you booking a theory test (the wait time for a theory test is approximately 2 weeks), and whilst waiting for that date to arrive you would do approximately 10 hours per week driving tuition with your driving instructor. Once you have passed your theory test you would then book your practical driving test, which may take approximately 4 weeks to come through. You would then continue at either 10 hours worth of driving lessons a week until the test date or increase / decrease your driving lessons dependent on level of ability.

Course 2: Starting the intensive driving course straight away and then reducing the number of driving lessons nearer the test date.

Again, if you have not yet booked a theory test or if you have already had experience of learning to drive then this is the ideal intensive driving course for you. Your Ignition Driving Schools driving instructor’s aim is to get you up to practical driving test standard by the time you are taking your theory test. Once you have passed your theory test you are then in a position to look for practical driving test cancellations because you will already be at driving test standard, thus reducing the length of time of the intensive driving course.

Course 3: Having already passed the theory test, booking the practical test and then doing the intensive driving course the same week as the test date.

This style of intensive driving course should be undertaken as a last resort and only for those people who have had a lot of driving experience previously or simply need topping up to be ready for practical driving test.  The optimum level for concentration would be no more than 6 hours a day and ideally you should be doing no more than 25 hours in one week. Whilst your Ignition Driving Schools driving instructor’s aim is to get you up to practical driving test standard quickly you need to remember that you may struggle with some elements of driving, which may hold you back. Due to the notice period for cancelling your practical driving test being three working days you will not be able to re-schedule your practical driving test if you are not ready for it and the pressure will be immense! This style of intensive driving course is not for the faint hearted!

For your convenience, we also offer residential courses where by an hotel is provided for part, or all of your intensive course. This not only saves time, but allows you to be focused and dedicated to the task of learning to drive.
