Intensive Courses: Fast-Track to Your Licence
An intensive driving course (sometimes called a "crash course") packs your lessons into a short period — typically one to four weeks instead of several months.
How Do They Work?
Instead of one or two lessons per week, you'll have 3-6 hours of driving per day, usually over 1-2 weeks. By the end, you should be test-ready.
Who Are They Best For?
Intensive courses suit people who:
- Need to pass quickly — for a new job, university, or life change
- Already have some experience — maybe you drove years ago or had lessons before
- Learn well under immersion — some people retain skills better with daily practice
- Have the time — you'll need 1-2 full weeks free
Who Should Avoid Them?
They might not be ideal if you:
- Are a complete beginner with high anxiety
- Struggle with information overload
- Can't commit to full days of driving
