What Is An Intensive Driving Course
An intensive driving course is great if are just starting your driving lessons and learning to drive from scratch, or if you are wanting to refresh your skills before taking your driving test. Intensive lessons are available in a variety of lengths, from a two-hour daily lesson to consecutive days with back-to-back lessons. Our instructors can be as flexible as you require.
They will be tailored to suit your specific needs and based upon your previous driving experience. Every person learns at their own pace so intensive lessons might not be the best choice for you. But it doesn’t matter if you learn to drive in a few months, or a few weeks. After taking driving lessons with our instructors you will have the necessary skills to not only pass your driving test but also be a safe driver all your life.
Why Book An Intensive Driving Course?
Even though intensive driving lessons in Ilkley can be extremely demanding, it can still be worth the effort if you’re looking for a quicker way to pass your driving test. They can be the fastest, most economical way to pass your driving test.
With intensive driving courses, the length of the driving lessons is longer than your standard hourly lessons, between 2 hrs to 6 hrs long. And they are usually spread over several days or weeks rather than being spread over many months. A 2-day intensive driving course will give you 10 hours of driving training. For those with no driving experience, there are longer intensive courses to ensure you get enough tuition. The DSA recommends that all drivers take at least 40 hours of professional driving tuition before taking the driving test.
Another option is to book weekly driving lessons. While this route is great, it can be very time-consuming. If you take a 2-hour lesson each week, it could take up to 4 to 6 months to pass your driving test. On the other hand, a 1-hour lesson each week will take around 8 to 12 months. Due to the lessons being so spaced out it is possible that you will spend most of your lesson time recapping the lessons from the previous week.
Do I Need To Pay More For An Intensive Driving Class?
Intensive driving courses are attractive for learners in the Yorkshire and the Humber area because of their cost-efficiency. Although the cost of intensive driving lessons may be higher than traditional lessons, in the long run they are still much less expensive than regular lessons. People take seemingly endless weekly driving lessons without ever having a driving test. A driving intensive course can help you manage your budget better and get your driving licence quicker.
A week-long intensive course is the most effective way to learn how to drive. You will need to commit full-time, driving five to six hour per day. The course can be spread over two week if you prefer to learn more slowly.
