Intensive course options
in City of Westminster
Hours depend on experience for a City of Westminster intensive course; transmission depends on the licence you want. Beginners take 30 hours as a baseline; returning learners often book a shorter block.
Manual: covers both
The manual route asks more of you early on, clutch, hill starts and gears, but leaves you with a licence for any car. Manual candidates there passed 47.6% of 6,368 tests (DVSA 2025/26).
Automatic: fewer controls
With no gears to manage, an automatic course concentrates on reading the road. It costs the same per hour and the licence is limited to automatics. At Wood Green, automatic candidates passed 45.8% of 5,011 tests (DVSA 2025/26).
Never driven before?
Book 30 hours (£1,440) as a baseline. It is not a guarantee of test standard; extra hours are available if your instructor recommends them.
