Decision Guide
The Honest Guide to
Choosing Intensive
An intensive course works brilliantly for the right learner and badly for the wrong one. Find your column.
Book intensive when…
- 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
- You have a test booked in the next 2–4 weeks and need to be ready
- You need your licence soon for a job, university, or family commitments
- You’re a confident learner who picks things up quickly with the right instructor
[rd_int_if_covered] [/rd_int_if_covered]
Weekly will serve you better if…
- You’d rather build the skill over time than push through it in one go
- You can only commit two or three hours a week to lessons
- You’re nervous behind the wheel and need time to settle in slowly
- You learn better with a few days between sessions to absorb each lesson
- You’d rather spread the cost across several months than pay upfront
