Intensive Driving Courses

Intensive driving couses are structured to suit the individual very much after an evaluation of there requirements and may be adjusted once the rate of learning can be further evaluated. Please remember private practice is good but not good if you are not sticking to the principles and procedures which you have been taught by your instructor.

• 14-hour This intensive driving course is suitable for those who have recently failed a driving test or for people who are nearing test standard. This course is normally spread over 3 or 4 days prior to the test.

• 22-hour The 22-hour intensive driving course is recommended for people who have had some experience in driving and have mastered the basic skills required, but just need to polish up their manoeuvres and general driving.

• 32-hour This intensive driving course is recommended for confident people who know the basics and who have very little driving experience. It covers mainly people in the age group from 17 to 23.

• 42-hour This intensive driving course is designed for the complete beginner. Most people will achieve a high standard of driving and will normally be ready for their PRACTICAL driving test after completing this course which covers the whole DSA syllabus.
