    Intensive driving courses?
    Hi, I've had about 8 driving lessons so far and 2 of these as part of a 10 lessons for £100 quid deal. I can drive well and am confident in myself on the roads but I just really want to get my licence soon as I want to be driving my own car by the end of the summer. I hate having to wait a week for a lesson and just to do them all in this package it will take me over 2 months.

    Ive recently come into some money and was considering doing an intensive, 20 hour driving course which would cost me £425, including the test fee. I was just wondering whether anyone had taken one and if so what they thought about it and what it entails and whether anyone knows someone who has taken one and passes quickly?

    Intensive are a great idea if you can spend the whole time/days concentrating only on driving - nothing else - no distractions

    Residential courses are great for that - spend a few days in a B&B if poss

    You may not be test ready at the end of the course but it WILL give you a great start - perhaps only needing a few lessons afterwards

    If a test is part of that course then take the test - at least you will know where you are at after doing it
