For those who feel they need an intensive driving course UK instructors have the experience to help you. You may need to learn quickly because of a job offer, to transport a child or sick family member; whatever the reason, an intensive or crash driving course can help you to get your licence in just a couple of weeks.
In fact, it’s possible to take lessons and pass your test in just a few days, although most crash courses take a couple of weeks. Regardless of the course length, the idea is the same; the lessons are crammed together into a much shorter period of time and many learner drivers find this system more preferable than spending weeks or months learning to drive. Your experience driving will determine how long a crash course to take, and if you already have some driving experience and know the basics, it may be possible to learn in just a few days. Some companies make the process even easier by offering short residential driving courses, in which you take your pre-booked driving test on the last day of your stay.
When taking an intensive driving course UK learner drivers have the obvious advantage of not having to spend longer than they need to obtaining their licence. Another benefit of this approach is that because the lessons are taken over a shorter period of time, it’s easier to retain what you learned. Taking a lesson every week can make it easy to forget what you learned last week. And an intensive course can be cheaper too, if you already have some experience behind the wheel and feel that a couple of days of lessons would suffice. The average cost of a driving lesson is £24 an hour.
Some driving instructors are better than others, and although it’s easy to find a crash course near you online, take the time to compare different companies. Reading posted comments from previous customers can give you a good idea of how reliable a company is and perhaps their success rate, although asking people you know for a personal recommendation is a better option. Make sure you understand what’s included in your driving course, especially if you opt for a residential course, and what’s expected of you. But if you really need to have your UK driving licence as quickly as possible, taking a crash course can be the obvious answer.
