Intensive driving lessons, also known as crash courses, are a condensed form of standard driving lessons. They are designed for learners who want to pass their driving test as quickly as possible. Intensive driving lessons usually involve a high number of hours of instruction in a short period of time, such as a week or two.
The intensive nature of these lessons can be challenging, and they are not suitable for everyone, but they can be a good option for learners who are confident in their driving abilities and who want to pass their test quickly.
Intensive driving classes are a great option for those who want to learn to drive quickly and efficiently, particularly those with limited time due to work or study. Classes can be taken in short, 2-5 hour sessions, allowing the course to be completed in just one or two weeks.
However, it is important to note that passing a driving theory test is a requirement before starting these classes and booking a practical test with the DVSA. For those with tighter schedules, semi-intensive driving courses may also be considered, with less intense class sessions.
Although the upfront cost of an intensive driving course can be pricey initially, it may be a cost-effective option in the long run as it eliminates the expenses associated with weekly driving lessons and taking individual tests.
A one-day course may cost around £200, but it is only suitable for those who need a few hours of practise before a test. A week-long crash course can cost around £1,000 and a two-week course may cost double that at over £2,000. While the cost may seem high, it should be noted that the average cost of an hourly driving lesson is around £30.
By taking an intensive course, it could save you money in the long run as the average person takes 45+ lessons to learn to drive, costing over £1,000, not including the costs of theory and practical tests.
