Crash Courses Intensive Driving Courses

Intensive driving courses, sometimes known as 'crash courses', are simply lots of driving lessons taken over a short period of time.

'Regular' driving lessons can range from 1 hour to 4 or 5 hours per week, whereas an intensive driving course is more likely to be between 6 and 20 hours training during a week. Often, but not always, a driving test will immediately follow the crash course, so that everything is still 'fresh'.

Intensive driving courses are not suited to all people as many hours of concentration can become very tiring. It is, however the best option for some people who have very little free time for regular lessons and therefore the only time they can squeeze in training is a 'crash driving course' during holidays from school or work.

Most driving schools will offer some form of intensive driving courses and should be able to advise you whether you may be suited to learn to drive in this way - often following an assessment.

‘Pros’ And ‘Cons’ Of Intensive Driving Courses

Some of the potential benefits of taking your driving lessons in the form of an ‘intensive driving course’ are:

1. If successful, you can pass your driving test in as little as a week
2. People who generally have erratic working times (making regular lessons difficult to arrange) can learn to drive during work or school holidays
3. Some people can find that receiving lots of information in quick succession can help them achieve the required standard  - as they are hearing new information while the last [connected information] is still fresh

Some of the potential negatives of learning to drive through an intensive driving course are:

1. Some people find that it is difficult to absorb so much information in such a short period of time (therefore wasting a portion of the time that you are paying for)
2. If the driving course incorporates a DSA driving test at the end, by the point that it could be realised that the required standard will not be met by the candidate by the test, it could be too late to cancel of change the test without losing the DSA fee (must be changed/cancelled PRIOR to 3 days before the intended date – see your booking confirmation for the specific date for cancelling or changing it)
