Is This Course Right for You?
The 20-hour intensive course is a solid choice if you’ve already had some experience behind the wheel and feel comfortable with the basics, but need more time to build confidence, sharpen your technique, and prepare properly for your test.
It’s typically chosen by learners who’ve had around 25–35 hours of previous lessons, or those returning to driving after a longer break. Once you book, we’ll arrange your course with a DVSA-approved instructor in your area, based on your availability and experience.
🧠 What’s Included
As an agent, we arrange everything on your behalf:
- A 20-hour intensive course delivered by a DVSA-approved instructor
- Lessons arranged across 4 to 7 sessions, depending on your preferences and the instructor’s availability
- 2 hours reserved for your driving test day, including car hire
- A tailored plan created by your instructor to focus on key development areas and build up to test standard
Your instructor will help you work on driving smoothly and safely while tackling any weak spots that could hold you back on test day — such as confidence on roundabouts, lane discipline, clutch control or parallel parking.
👤 Who This Course Is Best For
This course is a good fit for learners who:
- Have had around 25–35 hours of previous driving experience
- Feel comfortable driving but need structured time to build consistency
- Want to avoid rushing into a test unprepared
- Have had a long break since their last lesson and want to rebuild their skills properly
If you’re unsure whether 20 hours is the right amount, just get in touch and we’ll help you figure out the best option based on your experience.
⏳ Need a Sooner Driving Test?
The DVSA currently has long delays for practical test dates — in many areas, wait times can stretch beyond 20 weeks.
To avoid this, we work with a trusted third-party provider who sends us daily fast-track test cancellations.
Once your instructor is confirmed and your first lesson is scheduled, we’ll begin the search for a test date. At this stage, we’ll ask both you and your instructor to share up to three local test centres you’re happy to use. This helps us widen the net and increases our chances of securing a test as close as possible to the end of your course.
📍Where This Course Is Available
We have instructor cover across most of the UK. Once your booking is received, we’ll arrange your course based on your location and availability.
If we’re unable to match you with an instructor within 14 days, your deposit will be refunded in full.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashleigh – Passed with 1 Minor!
I booked my crash course through Rated Driving and it has been nothing but exceptional!
I had very limited availability, but Kevin and the team worked around everything to get it sorted. I started with no confidence and hardly any experience — and in just five weeks, I passed my first test with ONE minor!
My instructor was absolutely amazing. I can’t fault a single thing. From nervous to fully confident and safe on the road in a matter of weeks — I’m so grateful!
