Intensive course options
in Sutton
Start from where your driving is today in Sutton. No experience means the 30-hour course; some previous tuition usually means a 10, 15 or 20 hour top-up. Either can be manual or automatic.
Manual car
Pass in a manual and you may drive either type of car afterwards. Most of the extra effort goes into clutch and gear work in the first sessions. Manual candidates there passed 51.8% of 9,001 tests (DVSA 2025/26).
Automatic car
Automatic learners skip clutch control entirely, which frees time for hazard perception and busy junctions. Same price ladder as manual. At Morden, automatic candidates passed 49.8% of 6,769 tests (DVSA 2025/26).
Complete beginner
Thirty hours at £1,440 is where complete beginners begin. Your instructor tells you honestly whether more time is needed before a test.
Refresher learner
Previous lessons count. Between £480 (10 hours) and £960 (20 hours) buys a refresher aimed at the routes used by Morden examiners.
How booking an intensive course works
- STEP 1
Postcode
Decide between manual and automatic and pick 10 to 45 hours.
- STEP 2
Course and car
£250 through Stripe confirms the booking. Full payment upfront is £50 cheaper.
- STEP 3
£250 deposit
We pair you with an independent DVSA-licensed instructor who covers your area.
- STEP 4
Practical test
Look for practical test dates on GOV.UK test booking before fixing course dates, because DVSA capacity varies.
