Is an Intensive Course
Right For You?

  • You’ve had lessons before and want to refresh quickly, not start over
  • You’re moving away soon and want your licence sorted before you go
  • You can take a full week (or two) off work or college to focus on driving
  • You’ve been driving on a provisional with a family member and want to formalise it

Better With Weekly
No pressure either way

Weekly lessons are a better fit if…

  • You’ve never sat behind the wheel and want to build confidence gradually
  • You get tired or lose focus after a couple of hours of driving
  • You’ve got school exams or a busy work period and can’t fully focus on driving
  • You haven’t passed your theory test yet and aren’t ready to book a practical
  • You’d rather build the skill over time than push through it in one go
