Intensive Driving Course
Also known as a crash course (an unfortunate term for driving) is a course that is compacted into a short time frame, cramming in the necessary training hours. We have intensive course opportunities available on a regular basis.
 
The DSA says "45 hrs with an Approved Driving Instructor plus 20 hrs with friends or family is the national average number of hours of driving that a student takes before passing their test".
If you were to take driving lessons 2 hrs a week, including a few convenience breaks, it would take most people about 6 months.

For some people 6 months is to long a period of time to take, to pass their test. Everybody has their reasons for wanting speed up the process. Here are a few examples:

• Learn better in concentrated bursts of energy.
• Need to pass by a particular deadline.
• Driving lessons have been dragging on.. and they just want to pass now.

What cannot be sped up is how many hours you need in the car. Everybody is unique, with different co-ordination skills, mental approach to challenges and belief in their abilities. Although the national average of 45 hrs is a good guide it does not cater for you personally. This means that if you want cram the driving lessons into a short space of time we need a personalised amount of hours in the car.

An assessment drive for an intensive driving course has a twofold purpose:

1. For the student to determine whether they will get on with the driving instructor's personality and training style.
2. For the driving instructor to determine the students existing driving skills if any and how their co-ordination skills, mental approach to challenges, belief in their abilities and motivation will set the number of required driving hours to pass the test.

After an assessment drive, Jonathan would discuss his professional estimate for the number of hours required for a student to pass their driving test.

How many of the required hours of training a student would have in a day and how many days in a week, would be dependent on both the students and the driving instructors diary.
