Intensive Driving Course Prices
Choose a structured manual intensive driving course based on your previous experience, confidence and current driving ability.
Manual intensive courses for different experience levels
Intensive tuition places your driving lessons into a shorter and more concentrated period. The number of hours you need will depend on how much driving experience you already have and which skills still require development.
An assessment lesson is recommended before selecting a course, particularly if you have previously taken driving lessons with another instructor or driving school.

Start with an assessment lesson
It is difficult to recommend a course based only on the number of lessons you have previously completed. Learners develop at different rates and may have covered different subjects.
An assessment lesson allows an instructor to review your current driving and recommend a more realistic course length.
